As Congress and the president try to strike a deal to cut spending and raise the debt ceiling, one Republican Senator tells ABC News that prospects look bleak.

“Right now I’m very worried,” Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) told ABC News “Subway Series.” “If I were a betting man, I’d bet no [deal].”

Senator Graham said Republicans should be willing to accept a deal that curbs entitlement spending and increases tax revenues by closing loopholes.

The obvious solution, Graham said, is for Republicans to give some ground on taxes and for Democrats to give some ground on entitlements. But he doubts negotiators will get there before August 2nd.

“You're giving money away to a few people at the expense of many, and I think it's time to reevaluate that,” Graham said. “If you did away with all deductions and exemptions except charitable giving and the mortgage interest, that's $1.2 trillion that's spent every year.”

Oops. I forgot the barf alert.

[steel_resolve]

His primary cannot come soon enough.

[funfan]

Pond scum he is

[A message]

Graham making some moron RINO statement is an already understood “barf alert.”

[fwdude]

REAL Republicans don't get worn down to a quivering lump of jello in a harsh debate; they feed off of the combat and become more emboldened.

If I were in any kind of place of power here, I'd have a lot of fun with it. I'd raise my "price" every time the Democommies balked.

Please tell me there IS someone running against him.

[LyinLibs]

I’ve believed for 10 years that Democrats have photographs of Senator Grahm(nesty) in bed with dudes.

There’s no other reason he’d be this self-destructive.

[pallis]

What a putz!

[fwdude]

Please tell me there IS someone running against him.

Him? (debatable)

[takenoprisoner]

traitor alert

[ColdSteelTalon]

Good night someone fire this guy. Please.

I cannot believe the Great State of South Carolina would sent a egg sucking, bugger like this to the U.S.Senate. I just don't understand people that profess to run on a conservative platform that get to Washington and suck up to the likes of OBozo.. Graham go home.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Does this guy still have a residence at his mother’s?

[fwdude]

Maybe his boyfriend is a Democrat.

[Raycpa]

Can we vote him off the island?

Better yet, can someone please publish the pictures?

[NYCslicker]

So now for the record we have the following people saying asshat things about the debt limit:

McConnell
McCain
Lindsey Graham the Clueless

Ok. That’s about what we all thought would happen by about now.

Waiting for the Maine sisters.

Cheers!

This debacle by the GOP establishment reminds me of Picketts Charge at Gettysburg. They attacked right in to the strength of the RATS defenses. Medicare and Social Security. From the start they should have outflanked Obama with an all out war on Obamacare and the hated job killing government agencies. Also the awful waste and graft. But no. Too bad we could not get rid of the Lame GOP leadership. We will pay the price.
