Graham: Tea Party faces test now to be problem-solvers (Grahamnesty, YOU are the problem!)
The Hill, Washington, DC ^ | 2010-12-19 | Bridget Johnson

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said that the Tea Party needs to commit to being problem-solvers in the new Congress.

On "Face the Nation," Graham was asked about the prospects for bipartisanship come January.

"The House is in revolt," he said of the difficulty of extending the Bush-era tax cuts. "People are pissed off in the House at the estate tax. That's going to carry over a bit."

Graham said that big government and spending is on the "run and retreat," but that the coming months will test the grass-roots movement that helped turn the tide in the midterm election.

"The Tea Party will turn on the Republicans as well as the Democrats, but it's going to be a test of the Tea Party," he said.

"They come up here in large numbers and bring a new energy. I applaud what they did, but they've got to help us solve problems."

Graham said he was hopeful that the debt commission is a starting point, from tax reform to considering changes in Social Security and Medicare.

"We're so far in debt we're never going to get out of it unless we look at each other around this table and say it is time to sacrifice," he said.

The Tea Party points out the problems that the people have with Washingto. We elect our politicians to figure out how to fix those problems. If they can’t figure it out, we run them out of office and put in someone that can figure it out. If the Tea Party has to figure it out for them, then we need to replace existing politicans with the Tea Party.

Of course, it's obvious he means it's time for YOU to sacrifice.

And it doesn't take a genius to remember that it was the people around that table that incurred the debt in the first place.

Some things are so obvious, and yet shouldn't go without saying...

Note the presence of two drains in the floor on the right side of the photo to keep the BRAVO SIERRA from reaching a dangerous level. As the lovefest progressed, crews had to clear them 4 times.

When Lindsey Graham happens to be the go to guy for the liberal media, you know he can’t be trusted.

His purpose for the liberal media is to disparage conservatives and weaken the movement.

In many ways, he is much more nefarious than McCain, because he actually believes in throwing us under the bus.

I think McCain sold us out because he wanted to be president and had to meet in the middle for political expediency.

Whatever the truth is, when you got Miss Lindsey and Juan as the self-appointed spokesmen for conservatives, they are going to screw us at some point.

Gee Pansdey, I wonder if you'll still be applauding in 2014 when the Tea Party tosses your queer ass out on the sidewalk?

The people in the various states are uniquely better qualified to solve problems then these isolated, fantasy obsessed buffoons in Washington D.C.

America’s #1 problem is the pride of people like Graham which prevents them from admitting the failure of the federal problem solving model.
