LINDSEY GRAHAM: Republicans Are In A 'Demographic Death Spiral,'
Business Insider ^ | 06/16/2013 | Brett Logiurato

Posted on 06/16/2013 1:41:10 PM PDT by Carbonsteel

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is bullish about the chances of an immigration reform bill passing the Senate — and he says Republicans need to pass it to avoid falling further into a "demographic death spiral" that could hurt their chances in the next two big election cycles.

"If we don't pass immigration reform, if we don't get it off the table in a reasonable, practical way, it doesn't matter who you run in 2016," Graham said on NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday.

Reminds me of that scene when the good guy says: "fly unzipped", and the bad guy looks down and then says: "Hey! zippers won't be invented for another 100 (THUNK!)."

As Sheriff Bart said: "And they are SO DUMB!

The minute the Immigration Bill passes, its negative effects will begin to be felt, because new floods of immigrants will be crossing our open borders to receive all the benefits of American citizenship.

Our schools, hospitals, roads, prisons, welfare rolls, etc., will become more and more crowded and the quality of life in America will deteriorate.

And it will become increasingly clear to voters that the only way to halt this decline is for Congress to get serious about controlling our borders — something Lindsey Graham and his friends conspicuously failed to do this year.

How popular will Senator Graham be with the folks in South Carolina after they’ve been forced to wait in ever-burgeoning lines at hospitals, unemployment offices, etc., thanks to Lindsey Graham’s obsession with helping the Republicans win future elections?

If the folks in South Carolina have been paying attention, Lindsey Graham will never win another election there.

“Cruz may be the last Republican I vote for.”

I fear that Stepford Senators moment where we discover that they got him, too. I know it’s a lot to put one man, but we need SOMEONE up there to stand as a witness against the Obamaci (which incorporates the impostor Republicans).

Nah. They are smart people! It’s us knuckle dragging PURISTS that are abject morons. And as soon as one of those rocket surgeons sees this thread, we can take comfort knowing they will be here to tell us all about it.

But since the opposite of purity is by definition corruption, they have a hell of a row to hoe. Of course you can’t tell them that.

If we EVER pull this rabbit out of the hat, I hope those backing the GOP and continuing to make excuses for them are -well- remembered by those of us who didn’t in whatever world may result.

As I have told my daughters: "One of you is a spare, don't make me decide". And "I brought you in, I can take you out."

If Cruz fails (he is human) he can leave on the same train the brought him.

The only one in a downward spiral is YOU Goober Graham, and your same sex senator McCain. When you lay down with the vermin, you wake up with filth and parasites.

LOL! Ok. You got it. Even the bad one is harsh. The good one? she's got ribbons showing that she scored expert with small arms.

You really, really don't want either of them.

The younger called and said: "Happy Father's day. You're still alive."

And that set the tone for the conversation.

They play hard. I may have some responsibility for that.

Think of George Romney stomping off stage after losing the nomination to Goldwater only to go help the democrats.

'Tweren't Romney.

That was Gov. Nelson Rockefeller.

Not only am I prepared to build a trebouchet, I've got real plans for a 'national razor'.

It's very Italian to decorate lamp-posts. I could see something more refined.

Americans need to IMMEDIATELY roll on DC and put a stop to these traitorous bastards hoisting this nonsense on this country.

And then they need to roll on these illegals of every stripe and kick their sorry ass*s back to Mexico, and China, and India, and every other sorry place they’re infiltrating from.

Demographic problem solved. Welfare problem solved. Constitution problem SOLVED.

There’s an anti-IRS, anti-amnesty rally in DC (Capitol Hill, I believe) on 06/19, 10am to 2pm. Come on down!
