I will fight for the conservative cause, because I believe in it, Graham said. I will break away when I think the country needs me to break away to find a middle ground." In other words, he'll vote conservative on bills that don't have a lot of publicity but he's willing to sell out his party when the other side screams loud enough.

Underscoring his 90 percent conservative voting record, he said he disagrees with those who would have him spurn Democrats when the good of the country requires him to work with them.Honey, I'm 90% faithful to you....

In South Carolina, the Seneca Republican is trying to control the damage. The calls wont quit, and theyre almost all against Lindsey, state Republican Party chairman Katon Dawson said. Excellent.
I'm sure Lindsey expects it'll pretty much blow over by the time re-election season rolls around.

But I will not use this job to hate people. There are some people on the right and the left, (who) expect you not only to vote with them, but to hate the people they hate. Count me out.Yeah, and we know that the people you sided with had a lot of love for those nominees, don't we? /sarcasm

Today Rush said Graham has now said he doesn't think he will vote AGAINST a filibuster of John Bolton.
I posted this elsewhere, on the question of "what happened" to Lindsay:
Q: Am I wrong or what, but wasn't Graham on the right side during the impeachment of x42? Maybe I'm mistaken..... If he was and my memory is correct, what happened to him?
A: What happened to him? He went out on a limb and endorsed McCain for prez in 2000.
At the same time, little ole Lindsey got bit in the butt by the Ambition Bug. Standing next to McCain, he got stars in his eyes. Inside that little brain of his (emphasis on little), he started dreaming that McCain was his ticket to the big-time.
IOW, Graham got the same sickness John Edwards got in 2004.
He sees himself as the young, charming and (in his mind) handsome Senator who becomes VP for a wildly popular President (mistaking MSM boot-licking for populist popularity), which then leads him straight into the WHITE HOUSE as the follow-on prez.
Hey, Lindsey: Pride goes before downfall.
And I am going to do everything I can do to ensure that you fall next time you're up for reelection. Your primary opponent is going to be the most well-funded person in history, if I have anything to say about it.

I heard him say exactly that a few days ago.
He obviously has a malady caused by following Big John Mc-You-know-who's caboose too closely.

I don't know what the guy's talking about with this hate stuff either but this much I know, every time this dimwit opens his mouth he puts his foot a little further in!
So what are we now Lindsay hate mongers because we want to see the President get the judges he nominates voted up or down?
Should have stayed in the Congress little man, your just proving the Peter Principle in action.

One of two things has happen to LG. The first possibility is what you mention. The second possibility, and I lean towards this explanation due to the ridiculous speech he made with the gang of fourteen. "They" have something on Graham, something big. Careering ending info. The powers that be have been saving the Graham trump card until a consistent conservative voice was needed to pull down the leadership. Enter the compromised Graham.

Lindsey is starting to be just like McCain. If you dare to disagree with him, you're some kind of right wing fanatic and he totally dismisses you. Not at all smart when the average run of the mill republican starts being called a fanatic. They're too dumb to see that this isn't working anymore.
