Graham says he could agree to temporary extension of tax cuts (he is open to "compromise" with Dems)
The Hill, Washington, DC ^ | 2010-09-14 | Michael O'Brien

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) suggested Tuesday he might be open to agreeing to a temporary extension of tax cuts.

Graham said he would be open to a deal that would extend tax cuts on all income brackets for the next few years as a way to reach a temporary compromise to prevent rates from springing upward next year.

"Yeah," Graham said on Fox News when asked if he'd be open to a compromise. "I think three years would do us well."

This is WHY we CANNOT compromise on RINOs!
This is WHY Mike Castle lost tonight!
Got that, John Cornhole and Michael Steal?

Graham is always open to contort for the Dems. It’s what he does best.

It should be suggested that he caucus with the Dems.

RINOs: You will know them by their fruit.

Here’s a RINO that must be thrown out. What a spineless, gutless scum.

Lindsey, you little weasel, your day is coming. The next time you run for re-election it will still remembered.

I think it depends on what “the deal” is. Extending the Bush tax cuts for three years would actually be good because in 2012 there is a good chance the Republicans/Tea Party will be in charge and then make them permanent.

Flame suit is on.

There has to be someone in S.C with the ability to send this Wino home.

Just another reason for “NO MORE RINOS”.

I’m with you. Extending tax cuts for the rich for 3 years sounds good to me.

No. We. Will. Not.

A lot was going on in 2008, and we didn't manage to put poor Lindsey in his place.

Two. Words.

Bob. Inglis.

Two more words... 71% vs 19%.

When I ever I see Graham talk:

I think of what Keith Carradine as Wild Bill Hickock said to Jack McCall in Deadwood.

"When you talk it looks like C___T lips moving.

Well...My homestate had Trent Lott and my resident state has two lightweights...Corker and Alexander...a bit better than Graham but not much.

problem is the nature of the Senate as much as anything

Not until 2014, unfortunately.
Miss Lindsay thinks we’ll forget by then.
But while RINOs may have short memories, elephants don’t.
