U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham is in hot water again with tea party activists for his comments that their movement cannot endure "because they can never come up with a coherent vision for governing the country."
It's an opinion Graham has expressed before, but it drew national attention recently in a profile published in The New York Times as he was leaving for the Middle East during the Senate's Fourth of July recess.
Ralph Billeter, 76, said he heard it on Fox News and it reinforced to him that Graham, a Republican from Seneca, is out of touch with the people of South Carolina.
Billeter, a member of the Carolina Patriots, said Graham might say he's a conservative Republican, yet he worked with Democratic Sen. John Kerry and Independent Sen. Joe Lieberman, who caucuses with Democrats, on an energy bill that included capping greenhouse gas emissions.

Billeter said he is speaking for himself and not his tea party group. Like most tea party activists, he believes in less spending and more government control at the state level to give people greater input and reduce the size of federal government.

In a story published Saturday, Bob Inglis, a six-term U.S. representative who was soundly defeated in a primary runoff against Spartanburg prosecutor Trey Gowdy, spoke out against what he said is a conservative movement that preys on people's fears.

Inglis, too, said it's a movement that can't last.

Weary is the Head that Plays the Clown.
“Is it possible to unseat Graham with a Conservative Republican who can win a General Election in November 2014?”
Look at a few facts:
The RINO Ingliss was thrown out in the primary.
The good old boys network ran RINOs for governor in the primary, and they all lost.
County Republican parties have censured the poodle Gramnesty.
The poodle can’t go anywhere in SC without an armed security force big enough to invade Grenada.
Not a good resume for the upcoming primary in four years.
“because they can never come up with a coherent vision for governing the country.”
Duh...Pansy hasn’t heard of the Constitution. Surprised, Surprised, Surprised.

Uber RINO Lindsey Ping
"Republican by day, Democrat by night."
Want on or off this ping list?
Just FReepmail me.
Remember, "I ain't gay."
It is the politicians of both Parties who have abandoned the Founders' vision of liberty in favor of a central government which burdens its citizens and deprives them of liberty.
By and large, TEA (that's Taxed Enough Already) Partiers, have read the nation's founding documents, including THE FEDERALIST, and are calling for a return to the Founders' vision.

I have taken the pledge, no more RINOs. I will never vote for another RINO and I am the one who gets to decide who or who is not a RINO. I will not tolerate anyone who says that if I don’t vote for a person just because he/she has an “R” after their last name, I am electing democrats.
If I am not satisfied that the person I am voting for is a conservative, that person will not get my vote.
Based on your response, I have another reason to look forward to 2014!
