Graham diving right into the abortion issue. In a BIG way.
I'd take your Senator Sessions over just about any of 'em any day of the week too!
I'm glad someone finally recognized that debating if someone is "mainstream" is meaningless. Everybody thinks they are mainstream and their enemies are not.
Wow. LG just made a powerful statement on Roe v Wade. Said that many in South Carolina are upset at the "certain death" visited upon innocent children by judges!
Graham asked a very good question. Who is Kennedy to say what a mainstream conservative is?
Graham doing a good job. His evil twin must be locked in his office.
I like him. He's a good Senator. Like the way he so casually told the part about the judiciary took away the right to protect the unborn with Roe V. Wade.
The question seems to be whether or not Senator Sessions will have to smack Lindsey in the back of the head?
Yes. White Fang and Black Tooth!
McPain probably has his evil twin locked in a closet. heh-hen-heh!
I only liked White Fang, Black Tooth gave me a headache.
Just saying whatever she must to keep the Greens/MoveOn.org/DU crowd on board until the fall elections.
LOL! Think he's behaving for the time being.
Graham is right about the litmus test, but he is too late to stop it. The dems have gone over that cliff already.
Whoa--Graham just nailed it with his seeing this as the Dims trying to make the Alito confirmation as a ONE issue process. He is--to my amazement--holding the Dims' feet to the fire on this!
Goodness sakes!
Senator Graham is actually making sense. Go git 'em, Lindsay.
LOL, I'm listening from the office and he made me stop in my tracks.
LOL! "Guess what? We LIKE Ronald Reagan!"
I love Lindsey today. LOL
Graham going after Ginsburg.
