Sen. Graham to Republicans: 'Face Reality That ObamaCare Cannot Be Stopped'
FOX News ^ | Oct 13, 2013 | FOX News Insider

Posted on 10/13/2013 4:32:59 PM PDT by Jim Robinson

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has called President Obama a “pathetic leader” for his lack of involvement in negotiations to end the government shutdown. He slammed the president’s unwillingness to compromise with Republicans as “immature.”

Today on America’s News HQ, Graham told anchor Doug McKelway, “For [Republicans] to suggest to the American people that we could defund ObamaCare or delay it for a year by shutting down the government, I think was unrealistic.”

With the debt limit just four days away, Sen. Graham said, “I’m not going to vote for any deal coming out of the Senate that doesn’t have a reasonable chance of getting a majority of House Republicans understanding that defunding and delaying ObamaCare is a bridge too far.”

“It’s as simple as that.”

That is so true. Why can’t Republicans catch on to the talking point strategy that Democrats have perfected and explain it to the American people? It is a right, granted by the Constitution. The democrats have Americans believing that the Republicans are just being pissy, like Obama.

We need a new party now.

Absolutely agree. GOPe is, at its very core, anti-conservative. And nothing is going to change that fundamental truth.

These old men of the Republican Party should be retired as soon as possible.

Let’s face reality, the older one gets the less fight in you.

Linseed Graham should face reality. ObamaCare could be killed if cowards like himself would support the fight to do it.

Instead of attacking the Tea Party he needs to attack the Idiots that jammed this disaster down our throats.

Shut up, Graham. It can be stopped.

As it rolls out, the costs are enormously more than what was told to America.

If just ONE media outlet would let a whisper of this out, a force of American people could storm the Bastogne and demand it be stopped.

But Graham doesn’t have that leadership bone in his body. His bones are all political, the rubbery, bendable, flexible kind.

"I call them Kapo Republican’ts."

That's quotable. I wonder how a campaign poster with Graham a guard over a long line of old people going into a portal labeled "Obamacare" would play in the primary?

“...to suggest... that we could defund ObamaCare or delay it for a year by shutting down the government, I think was unrealistic.”

Well, then forget about 0'care as impetus, and shut down the govt over the economy-killing so-called-one-time $787 Billion stimulus package that gets rolled into the No-Budget continuing resolutions for the last 3 years. This slush fund is there EVERY YEAR because Reed (sick0) won't allow a budget to come out of congress. Cut off this $787 Billion, and the deficit would be less than they were during the GWB years.

I know Fish Lips ain't up, the the Dem from AK is, all I can say it Run Todd Palin Run !

It would probably fry Murkowski to no end to know she would have to work with him for the State of Alaska, given she seems like an elitist and he is down to earth...

They said the same thing about Cruz’s “filibuster” and now Cruz is the frontrunner in the Republican Party. That could have been you Lindsey, if you had left the RINO party.
