By FITSNews || After spending the better part of the year asking “how high?” when President Barack Obama instructed him to jump, U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham (RINO-Washington, D.C.) is suddenly the shrill voice of partisanship in our nation’s capital.
Specifically, Graham has accused U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of employing a “Kamikaze” strategy to pass Obama’s socialized medicine plan, one of the few of the new socialist agenda that Graham hasn’t embraced.
“They’re scrambling to round up the votes and Nancy Pelosi, I think, has got ‘em all liquored up on sake and you know, they’re making a suicide run here,” Graham said on Columbia, S.C. radio station WVOC AM Monday.
Sake? Suicide run?
(Listen to the clip here).
Hmmmm …
You know, as much as we can’t stand Graham, we’re not going to take the bait on this one and blast him for his “Oriental Insensitivity.” Besides, for once he’s right … the Congressional end-around that started Monday in U.S. Rep. John Spratt’s budget committee is an unprecedented bastardization of democracy.
Of course having said that, it’s become pretty evident by now that any “tough talk” from Graham is nothing but cover for his true leanings.
UPDATE: Awww come on, people. We didn’t mean those leanings …

If it is a done deal then that is when Rahm releases his friends to go on record with whatever they need for protection …..so the more I read here about comments like this…especially from the go to man himslef ….the more I think they must have the votes.
Sad times for all of us…..but we have the government we voted for.

As much as I dislike Graham, I will admit that he is smart enough to see which way the wind is blowing (conservative) and to react accordingly, unlike that fu*king Spratt.

That’s a great analogy, even if it did come from Sugarbritches…
Gotta give these guys their due, even if they’re only occasionally right.

All this means is that the polls got bad enough for Lindsy to stand up, and throw the peasants in SC a bone. A little red meat, just for show.
He is still a creep.

Lindsay likes to play Tummysticks. So we’ve heard.

Maybe Graham is just supporting Obama when he agrees with him, but not when he doesn’t. Believe it or not, it is possible to think in terms other than ‘our side’ vs. ‘their side’. Ideally, all elected officials would base their decisions on that standard.
Unfortunately, party hacks and ideo-illogicals prevent that happening.

No Name,
Lemastre would be proud that someone remembers hist quote! Great job.
And if we don’t rectify this in November, we will doubly deserve it
