Shutdown - email from Lindsey Graham
email | Tues, Oct 2, 2013 | linda Graham

Posted on 10/02/2013 3:39:17 PM PDT by upchuck

Dear friend,

I continue to hear from many of you about the current government shutdown. I am as frustrated and disgusted as you are about the dysfunction in Washington.

One point that I have repeatedly heard is that Members of Congress should not be paid while the government is shut down. I agree completely.

I don't believe I should get a salary while other federal employees are furloughed.

That's why I'm going to donate my congressional salary to the Wounded Warrior Project as long as the government is shut down. It's the least I can do.

Sincerely,

Lindsey Graham

Lindsey Graham
United States Senator

Now that I think about it, how much money are we saving by shutting down the government? We should shut it down for a decade and cathc up on that debt.

Good for linsey. Is he trying to move back to the right again?

linda finally does something descent. Unfortunately, she's done so many wrong things that this gesture hardly makes up for all the other stuff.

Want on or off this ping list?

Why don’t you look through your rule books and find out how to defund the erection of barrycades®.

You should also find a way to end 24 hour a day guard service as well.

Are those guards somehow “Essential”???

The National Mall is always open 24 hours a day.

There aren’t any guards controlling access to it but, Now there is?

Why?

Dear friend,

I continue to enjoy the friendship of gay males. I am frustrated and disgusted that I have so much trouble finding them here in Washington.

One point that I have repeatedly heard is that many people think I am a faggot. I agree completely.

I don't believe I should get a salary.

That's why I'm going to be visiting as many gay bars as I can find as long as the government is shut down. It's the least I can do.

Sincerely,

Lindsey Graham

That’s Great!
Then when it’s over, maybe you can donate your salary to
The FOUNDATION FOR THE CURE OF MENSTRUAL CRAMPS, with whom I am sure you have a working relationship!

Is he trying to move back to the right again?

No, he's trying to convince you that he's moved to the right. The MO is:

1) Betray your constituents;
2) Lie to your constituents about your betrayal
3) Repeat.

linda will prolly start a hard charge to the right sometime around the end of the year. She’s got a primary and runoff to lose next June.

Unfortunately, the place she’s charging to is already occupied by three conservatives: Nace, Bright and Cash.

“It’s the least I can do.”

Actually, your immediate resignation would be very helpful.

And lay off your staff.

And while you're at it, lay off the stuff.
