Sen. Graham follows own path on shutdown deal to open government
Sacramento Bee ^ | October 17, 2013 | By James Rosen

Sen. Lindsey Graham was the only Republican in South Carolina’s GOP-dominated congressional delegation who voted for the deal that reopened the federal government.

“This agreement is far from great news, but it brings to an end, at least temporarily, a disaster,” Graham said. “It stops the bleeding and gives us a chance to regroup. On the positive side, the agreement preserves the spending caps and makes modest changes to protect taxpayers from what will be rampant fraud in Obamacare income-verification procedures.”

“It stops the bleeding and gives us a chance to regroup.”

Stops the bleeding? We are laying in a ditch with our femoral artery severed, and all you did was prevent them from putting a tourniquet on the leg.

Regroup? More like ‘Plan your funeral’.

The disaster is this: He is still a Senator.

I think we need Trey Gowdy where he is. There is a decent conservative in the race. Lee Brite is a state Senator with a provable record. The others, not so much.

Maybe Lindsey can bring in the two McCs to campaign for him. The can hold “SC RINO Day” and get huge press attention.

No thanks...we’ve got several good contenders, and Trey Gowdy has been hanging out with the Zuckerberg crowd along with Cantor and Rubio...we may have to get Gowdy out in 16—

Time to dunk Lindsay Grahamcrackers in a glass of milk and throw him out. And I thought Richard Burr was bad but damn, Graham takes the prize.

These smug RINOS have no idea of the political damage that they have inflicted upon themselves and their own party.

I think his path leads to a DC bath house.
