With a Senate health care bill on track to be passed before Christmas without a single Republican vote, U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham says his biggest concern about what he calls a "sleazy process" is the long-term damage it will do on Capitol Hill.
"You are legitimizing partisan outcomes rather than looking at the best interest of the nation and that is to hold hands and do big things together," Graham said in an interview Monday from Washington.
"It's the first time a major piece of legislation has passed along partisan lines," he said, "a departure from what has been a long-standing accepted principle up here that massive changes like Social Security and Medicare will require bipartisanship because that's good for the country."

He can make great statements against the bad guys, and then, inexplicably, he turns into one.

Another plea for a cut of the action. Grahamnesty letting it be known he can be bought in the name of “working together.”

Gee Lindsey, you think? You and McCain have been helping them in their sleazy process for years and now they don’t need you. LOL, you are an idiot Lindsey.

"You are legitimizing partisan outcomes rather than looking at the best interest of the nation and that is to hold hands and do big things together,"LOL. This from the guy who wants to use the UN's Global Warming Junk Science as a basis for joining hands with John Kerry to impose a "compromise" CAP AND TAX bill on the American public. Good old "reaching across the aisle" Lindsey Graham. Give me a break.
To: rabscuttle385
Graham’s an idiot. He’s like a Dad that lets his teenage daughter date and run around with all kinds of degenerate low lifes and then when she comes home pregnant with a dog collar, a spike thru her nose and tattoos all over herself he tries the tough love thing. Too late. What a fool.

Yeah I'm sure Lindsey likes holding hands and all the delicious things that it leads to.
That fruit loop wants bipartisanship alright.

The only proper bipartisanship on this piece of sludge is for a few not-too-far-left dhimmirats to wake up, smell the Constitutional coffee, and realize that it is illegal and immoral for the Federal government to be engaged IN ANY MANNER in the health care of the American people...including Medicare and Medicaid...other than caring for wounded/injured military veterans.
But, that’s not likely to happen. Now that the left has begun to really flex their new found muscle, the path to socialism has been brightly lighted, and they can clearly see their way to their socialist utopia.
It’s time to take back the country.

He can make great statements against the bad guys, and then, inexplicably, he turns into one.Just like he voted against convicting impeached Bill Clinton - after making appearances and speeches denouncing his actions. What a backboneless little whackjob.
