scrnnews SC Radio News Team Congress GOP holds press conference today asking Senate to follow House in passing Cut, Cap, Balance. Includes Lindsey Graham, Jim DeMint.
Linsey is ready for his close-up, Mr DeMille
Are the cameras running?
I’d say that Lizzy can KMA, but she just might!
No, you're in the universe where the Republicans now have their own compromising photos of Lindsey.
Okay..what’s happened???
“While our sources declined to elaborate on the specific debt ceiling strategy that Graham advocated at this meeting, they said that he gave an impassioned speech that in no uncertain terms recommended calling U.S. President Barack Obama’s bluff.”
“Graham’s South Carolina consultant, Richard Quinn, says that Graham is firmly committed to the “cut cap and balance” proposal that cleared the U.S. House of Representatives earlier this week. That plan calls for the adoption of a balanced budget amendment and a cap on the growth of government in future years – as well as modest immediate cuts.”
Will he convert because of this:
“Locally, it impacts what is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated electoral battles in South Carolina history. In 2014, Graham is likely to be challenged by S.C. Senator Tom Davis (R-Beaufort), the leading fiscal conservative in the S.C. General Assembly.”
Or does someone on our side have better blackmail evidence than the Dem side??
It’s just too weird.
Maybe the spell was broken when Kennedy died.
This is a sham. Lindsay is the appointed democrat in the room like Specter used to be so the democrats know what the republican plan is.
“I can be anything the mathter wanth me to be . . .” whispered the oiled catamite from the bath house shadows.
Obviously he heard I was moving to SC and is afraid.
He’s just posing for sound-bite pics for re-election . . . no to worry!

And low the senator doth sleep and dream. and a vision appeared, in the shadows on the wall. And a voice was heard deeply and resonately speaking in the hollowed sanctuary. “ Senator, doest thou seeketh another term?”
then there was a light and there on the wall was revealed writing..... “cut....cap....balance “
I applaud Sen Graham for getting this one right.
He said something last week that if we draw a line in the sand, we ought to mean it. Apparently, he has figured it out - we can stand up to Obama and get the deal we want, if we hold firm.
Call your Senators.
There will be a Saturday vote on Cut Cap and balance.
we need 50 votes in the Senate - every Republican and 3 Democrats...

IT’S A TRAP.
A feminine, limp trap.
But a trap nonetheless.
Hmmm.
Liberalsy Graham so destroyed his credibility with me that if he takes ANY position, I am instantly against the position.
Like any good suicide bomber he has to get up close to his targets before he pulls the pin...
Isn’t Graham from South Carolina, the target of the Obama administration union battle over Boeing???
Oh, Obama is targeting South Carolina in other ways, as well.
Patty Murray has Obama’s third stimulus bill sitting in committee, waiting for the debt ceiling to be raised and spending green lighted once again. The bill (S, 942) is an grant for transportation (rail/port projects) called “Gateways”. South Carolina happens to have one of these Gateways, but all it lacks is funding for dredging the port. Graham has been working on getting this funding for about three years. Patty Murray’s bill specifically denies money for dredging.
Graham is spitting mad.
Maybe Graham has realized what everyone reading this has known for a month: the VAST majority of Americans want to take the tough approach.
Polls (real polls, not the spin ones) show nearly 70% of Americans don’t want to raise the debt ceiling. Even a majority of self-identified Democrats don’t want to raise it.
The one thing RINO’s have in common is they are “sensitive” about swing voters (aka moderates). It looks like the message has finally gotten through to the RINOs, even the moderates want to go the tough love route.
“The third Senator from New York.” Well, I’m glad to know who now holds Bob Packwood’s old seat. A fitting successor.
