RE :”Still, I can’t judge a sock-puppet to be as guilty as the person who games him. Lindsey is a simpleton. He doesn’t have the tools to run others. McCain does, and so he does it.”

This is another case where I have to buck the conventional wisdom,.
Lawyer Grahamnsety just plays the dumb country bumkin but he is every bit as crafty (and sleazy) as Rubio is.

Grahamnesty suggesting on a Sunday show in early 2011 that ‘ maybe we need to change the US constitution to end birthright..for those born of parents illegal here’ was no slip.

It was purposefully designed to set off a firestorm against the GOP on immigration for the exact opposite purpose as his suggestion appeared to be for, without him ever proposing anything on it.
It successfully cowed congressional Republicans to avoid the whole subject, which was his purpose(while sounding tough on illegals).
The MSM didnt attribute that quote to him, they attributed it to 'Republicans'

He knows exactly what he is doing.

We probably don’t need to change it. It never guaranteed what it has been attributed to guarantee in the first place.

I won’t characterize what Graham did differently. I will say that if I were in there I would take steps to get that aspect of the 14th amendment clarified or changed.

You advocate for what’s right, not popular. He should have followed through though, and you’re right on that issue.

If you look at Graham’s life, even right now, he simply isn’t in the same category as McCain.

Different strokes... no pun intended.
