Lindsey Graham turns hard right in bid to retain US Senate seat
examiner.com ^ | 11/5/13

Posted on 11/06/2013 5:46:07 AM PST by cotton1706

Lindsey Graham is talking tough and taking a hard right turn in his bid to win the GOP primary in South Carolina. Graham is apparently attempting to appeal to his base and win over conservative voters in light of recent polls that show his support in the South Carolina GOP primary race may be eroding, thanks in part to his soft stance on Obamacare, as well as his support for amnesty for illegal immigrants and spying on American citizens by the NSA.

On Fox News Sunday on Nov. 3, Graham promised to introduce legislation that would ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy.

“That’s what a rational, humane society should do,” Graham said to Fox News Sunday host, Chris Wallace. “Protect a child that can feel pain from an abortion, unless there’s the life of the mother, rape or incest involved."

Graham also reiterated his recent promise to block all of President Obama's political appointees until survivors of last year's terrorist attack in Benghazi are allowed to testify before Congress during the broadcast.

“I don’t think it’s over the top to find out what happened to four dead Americans,” he said. “I don't think it’s over the top to talk to survivors. The State Department interviewed these survivors.”

Most politicians will say whatever they need to say in order to keep their fat, worthless *sses parked firmly on the gravy train.

Principles? Who needs ‘em!

We are told so many times that conservatives are just some kind of loud, angry minority that have no real power, but why is it then the virtually every politician tacks right when trying to get elected?

The voters will probably buy this because the current crop have proven that they are stupid beyond redemption.

He will be re-elected just like McCain was re-elected.

South Carolina is going the way of Virginia it seems.

The question here should be....what’s plan B when Graham loses? Will he drift back to be some college chancellor, drive stock cars, or run a peanut stand by the main highway?

Colorado removed two professional liars form the government after the did just the opposite of what they promised to do. Betsy Markie did not do too well also.

Most politicians will say whatever they need to say in order to keep their fat, worthless *sses parked firmly on the gravy train.

A prime example is Christie in N.J., who is now proclaiming that he is a conservative.

And let's not forget Mitt, who proclaimed himself an "extreme conservative".

Lindsey is a democrat. Which means he is also a liar. So if he claims to be conservative, you know he is lying about it.

Linda will fool a lot of voters here. Mr. Bright needs to put on some big-boy pants and do the D.C. two-step right quick. Graham has already booked the hall and hired the band.
