Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) was caught Thursday on a live microphone offering to help the Obama administration pressure Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) into supporting the Senates aid legislation for Ukraine.
According to multiple reports, Graham, who is facing a tough reelection race this year, was caught on a live microphone after a hearing telling Secretary of State John Kerry, Let me know what I can do to help you with Boehner.

Uber RINO Lindsey Ping
"Republican by day, Democrat by night."
Want on or off this ping list?
Just FReepmail me
“Lee Bright is gives off off-putting neoconfederatey vibes and has had financial problems with his business. I think Graham would probably beat him a in runoff by making the race about him.
Richard Cash is the alternative.”
*********************************************************************
I guess it’s beyond your capabilities to simply put forth what you see as positives about Richard Cash and save negative commentary and attacks for Little Lindsey?
I guess for some folks it’s never too early to form or encourage the formation of conservative circular firing squads.
“I agree with Impy; Lee Bright is the most Stockmannish of Grahams primary challengers. And Mace hasnt been as good of a candidate as I initially thought she would be....”
*******************************************************************
Oh, it’s you again. It’s a standard strategy of the GOPe and its operatives to try to spread FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt) among conservatives.
Why isn’t Graham running on the Democrat ticket in 2014?
And why am I not surprised that you are once again supporting the one Republican who could allow the liberal to win? (Oh, and not surprisingly, Bright endorsed L. Ron Paul for president in 2012.) Please explain what’s so wrong with Richard Cash that you would rather support Bright and give Graham another six years.
Yawn.
I want Graham to lose, there is less of chance that will happen if Bright is his runoff opponent.
Bright’s negatives are reason for this, to not mention them would be retarded.
“And why am I not surprised that you are once again supporting the one Republican who could allow the liberal to win?....Please explain whats so wrong with Richard Cash...”
******************************************************************
More misinformation from you-—I’ve NOT said that there was anything wrong with Richard Cash since I don’t believe in trying to establish circular conservative firing squads and will not participate in any such firing squads established by others.
And I haven’t said WHICH OF THE LITTLE LINDSEY CHALLENGERS I SUPPORT. Each and every challenger on the ballot who gets ANY votes will serve to keep Little Lindsey BELOW 50% in the primary and force a run-off. Unlike you, I will not say or do anything that would discourage a single vote for ANY of the challengers. I save my fire for Little Lindsey Graham who is, or should be, after all our target.
“Unlike you, I will not say or do anything that would discourage a single vote for ANY of the challengers.”
If you took the time to read the thread instead of from a Paulistinian script, you would know that I wrote:
“Of course, we need to get to a run-off first, so I would encourage Bright fans to go and vote for their candidate in the first round; keeping Graham below 50% is job one for all conservatives, regardless of who their dog is in the race.”
And I also wrote:
“I would support Bright over Graham if the two were in the run-off.”
But just because Bright would make a better Senator than Graham doesn’t mean that he’d have a better chance of beating Graham than would Mace or (especially) Cash. I would rather beat Graham in the primary with a 100% conservative whom Graham can’t defame successfully than beat my chest saying that I supported Bright the 100% conservative who “takes no prisoners” but was “cheated” by “those stupid voters.”
(BTW, I originally thought that Mace would give us our best chance of beating Graham, but she hasn’t appeared to be up to the task in the race so far, which is why I now support Cash, whose got the profile and discipline to defeat Graham, and who would make an outstanding senator.)
Sorry Gold, I’m not going to be baited into joining you in your conservative circular firing squad. And I hope others will avoid that also.
