Graham: Cruz worse than Obama
CNN Politics ^ | February 5, 2016 | Gregory Krieg

(CNN)--How much does Lindsey Graham dislike Ted Cruz? Count the ways.

On the question of foreign policy, the Texas senator is "just as wrong as Obama, if not worse," Graham told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Thursday.

"In Ted Cruz's world, dictators do very well," he continued, comparing his colleague's foreign policy to that of Ron Paul, the former congressman, Republican presidential candidate and long-time leading libertarian.

Asked why his fellow senators are reputed to have such a distaste for Cruz, Graham accused the winner of the Iowa GOP caucuses of being an "opportunist" to his core -- one who "gets ahead at our expense" and will "run down other Republicans" to advance his own ambitions.

Not that Graham -- who has endorsed Jeb Bush -- is warming to Donald Trump, whose foreign policy prescriptions he described as "gibberish."(continued)

This non-endoresment almost cancels out the Glen Beck endorsement!

I was going to say Flimsey Grahamnesty is the worst US Senator, but then I started thinking about it.
He is awful, but he has a lot of comeptition for worst.

I’m afraid some Tumpophiles would agree.

I doubt it. Linda is universally despised and irrelevant. Only he doesn’t know that.

In my personal opinion Rubio is a democrat snake planted in our nest to foil us once again.

Christie calling Rubio a bubble boy, gaggler is truly odd. (look up meaning of gaggler in Urban Dictionary)It is pretty nasty

Rush Limbaugh calling Rubio “full-throated” conservative today is more odd still.

Subliminal programming?

Telling us without telling us?

Let’s see Dole hates Cruz

Jimmy Carter hates Cruz

Lindsey Graham hate Cruz

Romney hates Cruz

Now we just need a public statement from McPain who we know hates Cruz.

Something Cruz hopes we’ll forget; his father fought along
side Fidel Castro.

Ugh, I would so like to see the wishy-washy Graham be replaced by a true conservative in the Senate. I know that he’s rumored to be gay, but are there is any concrete proof that he is in fact gay?

Too many people stating that he is disliked by his fellow politicians. Too many people stating he is nasty and slimy and will stab anybody in the back to get ahead.
Too much smoke not to be any fire.

Don’t take a chance on another foreigner with a questionable past. We can do better.
Look where such a character as Obama has done to America.

Right, Lindy. And destabilizing Egypt and Libya has worked out so very well.
