Lindsey Graham – Maverick, deal-maker with ‘vision’

Lindsey Graham was sitting in a sedan early one morning and contentedly discussing the various fellow S.C. conservatives who dislike him — Tea Partiers, Constitutionalists, immigration hardliners — when Van Cato, his Upstate regional director, lifted a hand from the steering wheel and said: “That’s the leader of them right there. There’s his sign. He’s running for Greenville County Council.”

“Harry Kibler,” Graham, South Carolina’s senior U.S. senator, murmured as he read the campaign poster. “He’s the one that has that prop of your legs sticking out of a toilet in the back of his truck,” Cato added helpfully.

Graham turned away from the window. A large red flea bite, acquired during a recent trip to Afghanistan, sat aglow just to the right of his nose. “Is he running as a Republican?” he asked. Cato affirmed Kibler was.

“Who’s running against him?” Graham asked.

“Fred Payne. He’s the incumbent.”

“O.K. Tell Fred, anything I can do, I’ll do.”

As God is my witness, I'll never vote conservative again....

Go away Lindsey, and PLEASE take McCain with you!

McCain = Graham!

If McCain wins the general election, then we will all have McCain, Graham, and Obama screwing Americans simultaneously, the other Rats notwithstanding, for a minimum of two years, or four, if Obama somehow manages to get re-elected again (i.e., through the passage of amnesty and the subsequent granting of voting rights to now-illegal aliens).

....whenever I see a Republican referred to a ‘maverick’ in the MSM I reach for the dramamine.

“Everything I’m doing now in terms of talking about climate, talking about immigration, talking about Gitmo is completely opposite of where the Tea Party movement’s at,” Graham said

[KeyLargo]

I used to like to read the Sunday comics. However, since MSM has chosen to make political statements through their comic strips, I no longer bother looking at them.

Apparently Mr. Alcaraz is just another racist member of La Raza.

Good Lord....can we PLEASE do away with this “Maverick” crap,since the description of the word doesn’t fit either of these guys? RINO (and a few other more colorful adjectives)is the word that should be used!!!!

[DGHoodini]

You *know* when the New York Times starts praising a Republican, it’s because he just sold his soul.

[montag813]

A true “maverick”, just like Freddie Mercury, Oscar Wilde, and Adam Lambert. Burn your flame high, Senator!
