AND SO DOES JOHN McCAIN …

|| By FITSNEWS || We’ve repeatedly ripped U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham for his fiscal liberalism, fear-mongering, reckless foreign policy, hatred of liberty and personal hypocrisy.

And as Graham contemplates a presidential bid … it’s nice to know we’re not the only ones who see through this fraud of a human being.

Lindsey Graham isn’t just wrong – he’s dangerous.  Like He views America’s blood and treasure as his personal play things – disposable pieces he can move around a global game board of outdated imperialist dogma.  But we wrote about our thoughts on Graham earlier.

How does Graham see himself?

“My party is center right,” Graham told reporters in the U.S. Capitol this week. “There’s an element of the left and the right that I don’t think reflects both parties.”

(Campaigning out of Washington, D.C. again … interesting).

Wait, though … “center?”  Ummm … we think Graham is confusing the real ideological orientation of the country.

But that’s not stopping him from extending the analogy …

“To get America out of the left ditch, you don’t want to put the car in the right ditch,” he said, adding that “I represent a form of conservatism that is acceptable to the reddest of red states.”

Well … at least in primary elections that featured no well-funded opponent … in which nobody showed up to vote.

But there is one supporter Graham can count on: John McCain.

“He’ll be a lot more formidable than anyone thinks at this moment,” McCain said. “There are many supporters of mine who are more than happy to examine his campaign.”

Wait … supporters like this?

Oh right … like THIS.

We get it now …

Senator Graham is a seasoned statesman and war hero who can navigate this country through a troubled world. He was dead on correct about Saddam Hussien and WMD, and the need for us to keep 75,000 troops there. He has the courage to attack Iran with nuclear weapons to avoid the use of nuclear weapons, will reinstate our needed assistance to the democratic Afgahn government, and deploy the 300,000 US troops needed in Ukraine to stop the Soviet advance being undertaken by Putin. Lindsey Graham knows the need to strengthen our weekend armed forces, regardless of the cost of impact to the deficits, and is willing to stand up to the godless Communists in Cuba who at this very moment threaten the Florida coast. And – he’s a darned good dresser. I would be proud to sand behind him.

By the mere use of nuclear weapons to attack, you cannot avoid the use of nuclear weapons.

“Funny how the state that keeps electing Lyndsey seems so against him. ”

This site does not reflect the general population of SC. It is a cadre of semi-informed individuals(on average) that somewhat care about the state of the State, even though opinions displayed are wide ranging.

Then again, I suppose I should have expected as much from someone who can’t even spell Ms. Lindsey’s name correctly.

He is only running to run interference so that the ‘establishment’ choice will prevail in the end. Simply by running, he dramatically reduces the chances that SC, a Tea-heavy state, will have a large impact. The Anti-Grahamers will split their votes 10 different ways, and the Pro-Lindsay voters win a plurality. Since he is a native, it means nothing, and therefore neither does the SC primary. On to FL and obviously Jeb wins there.

Obama has degraded the office to such an extent that even Graham appears to be a reasonable alternative. I agree with some that he may be playing for the VP slot, doubt that he even makes that. He will soon become another piece of political roadkill. In the world of politics, you first need to check and see if your ego is your main qualification for higher office.

Please, what good would it do ANYONE to put Graham on their ticket? He is not a minority (unless he comes out of the closet), he is not charismatic, he is despised by the conservative base, he voted for Obama’s SCOTUS appointees, he has no appeal to young voters, he is from the 2nd or 3rd reddest state in the union. What is the hell does he have to offer as VP?

One thing you can say about Obama – which means nothing to the peaceful Christianists of the GOP – is that he is not responsible for thousands of Americans being killed and maimed on his order…and, I’m not even mentioning the 10s to 100s of thousands of dead Iraqis because, you know, they’re not Americans and, so, have no value as human beings.

Thing is, SC doesn’t have control of enough military personnnel, equipment, or even a nuke, with which to start wars; especially WW III. I believe Windsey really wants to be in the history books, along with Silver Daddy McCain, as the guy(s) responsible for starting WW III.

Also, word on the street has it that Michael Haley has already made it known that he isn’t picking up a loaded gun and walking into ANY combat zone.

Here’s how his bid for VP will go: the Wilkins power machine will tie up the SC 1st in the South. Lindsey will drop out, eventually, and throw his support behind Bush who will pick Lindsey as his VP. Everyone in the South will vote for the ticket, just to get Lindsey out of the Senate. Then, again, maybe not :oD

If the GOP does not nominate a CONSERVATIVE, you may as well not even waste time on an election…

The PEOPLE seem to know who will be the NEXT president of the US. And no amount of FITS-Media exalting of the middle-roaders can stop that…

The country cannot take anymore horrible leadership. We need to turn it around…stop the bleeding…and make America a GREAT country again…We can heal if we elect a Platform-based Conservative…who will spit in the face of the media…and tell them and the Ds to kiss-@$$…

A FITS-Moderate will not do that…and a Democrat will just keep us spiraling down the toilet, like Obama has done…
