Graham to take Kavanaugh fight 'to the streets,' campaign against fellow senators for first time
The Washington Times ^ | October 7, 2018 | Valerie Richardson

Sen. Lindsey Graham, South Carolina Republican, said Sunday he was so disgusted at the Kavanaugh confirmation process that he plans to do something he has never done: campaign against a fellow senator.

“All I can say is that this is going to the streets, at the ballot box,” said Mr. Graham on “Fox News Sunday.” “I’ve never campaigned against a colleague in my life. That’s about to change.”

I started to notice some differences after muckane returned to AZ to die, but you’re right, since he died Graham has been awesome.

There’s still that immigration thingy though.

I fully agree with your post and Sarah Barracuda's.

I think he is finally realizing they and the media are not your friends. They will do anything for power.

I think so too.

That ridiculous stunt the Judiciary Committee Democrats and the enemedia put everyone through the last few weeks was enough to get any decent person’s attention.

I believe Sen. Graham realized he’s in a position that he can speak out against those raw lies and condemn them to people nationwide, thank the Lord he is doing just that.

At the MAGA rally Saturday when Graham’s name was mention, he received the biggest ovation out of all the Senators named. He would be a good one to send out on a mission. The base would respond.

Perhaps if Graham had campaigned against his incumbent Dem “friends” before, the Senate would not have devolved into the freak show it now is.

Collegiality, comity and decorum were not the province of our Founders. Just look at John Adams vs Thomas Jefferson.

deal with the bad actors and criminals who messed with the Kavanaugh confirmation. We want them behind bars.

And their lives and reputations ruined, just like Kavanaugh’s was.

He must have read, No More Mister Nice Guy. Summary: No More Mr. Nice Guy is a book for almost every man in this day and age. If you are intruiged by the concept, buy the book. It is something you will not regret.

“Plus Trump has done a really good job bringing Graham into his orbit.”

Someone posted on another thread that Graham seems to glom onto the strongest personality near him.

In the House it was Newt.
In the Senate it was Songbird.
With McTraitor taking his dirt nap President Trump is by far the strongest personality in D.C.

Makes sense.

What I want to know is when is someone going to throw a tarp over K-sick? He may not be worth the time it would take, but it would do my heart good if the R’s unloaded on that worthless sack of $hit!

I didn’t know who Whitehouse was before this hearing, but he is a slimy snake.

Yeah, i tend to agree with you. Just too much bad history. Glad he is finding it expedient to be siding with Trump for now.

I liked A Face In The Crowd. Haven’t seen it in awhile.

Maybe I’ll have to watch it again.
