Lindsey Graham is joining other elite establishment Senators in opposing Senator David Vitter’s amendment, which would end taxpayer Obama Care exchange subsidies for elected officials and their staff members.
“Lindsey Graham just said, for the record, that his staff is more important than you are” says state Senator Lee Bright, the leading challenger to Graham for the U.S. Senate in 2014. “I’ve known that he was isolated from reality for a long time, but I have to admit, he has gone over to the dark side even further than I thought. There is no excuse not to join Ted Cruz in defunding Obama Care, but of all excuses, this is the worst.”
Bright spokesman Edmund Wright was even harsher. “Lindsey Graham now officially, totally, and without a doubt, deserves the scorn of every South Carolina voter, and every liberty loving American anywhere else. Frankly, I am thrilled that this big spending government pig has removed his own lipstick.”
Wright added that “Lee Bright has been courageous enough to counter the conventional wisdom that government should be run like a business. When you assess how the GOP establishment officials are defending the indefensible – that they are employers like anyone else – the brilliance of Lee’s comments really hit home. “
Bright has said in the past that “consultants love the line that government should be run like a business, but businesses need to continue to grow to survive, and in that way, government should absolutely not be run like a business. Unfortunately, too many people, including Lindsey Graham, don’t understand that. “
Wright added that “these staffers are talking about the threat of a brain drain if they are forced to leave. I say what America needs more than anything else is for Washington to be drained of the current brains. That includes Graham, his staff, his consultants, his lobbyist contributors, and every other member of his anti liberty cabal.”

If staffers aren’t provided health insurance by their employer, why shouldn’t they be entitled to the same subsidy that any other American should be? Why exclude them?
“the brilliance of Lee’s comments’. It is a faux pas of the highest order to use brilliance and Lee Bright in the same sentence without putting “lack of” before brilliance.
But I like da pretty colors!
The election is over a year away and these guys sound as if they are in a panic already.
Does the Bright campaign still believe that “defunding” is possible?
“..brilliance of Lee’s comments…” BWAAAHAAAAAAA!
Violates Title 42 United States Code Section 1981.
Except for those members that are Black, Asian, etc.
I hope Lee Bright doesn’t want to run Government like he ran HIS business!
“Wright added that “Lee Bright has been courageous enough to counter the conventional wisdom that government should be run like a business.”
Lee Bright really needs to replace this Lindsey. If we have Rand Paul as President and Lee Bright as SC senator we would be shaping a dream team!
Classic PSYOPS info counter……..so when Mr. Folks accepted this media piece did he not have time to ask ONE question..??
My backside…..!!
Did he not think to ask NANCY MACE for her take on this whole media spin article…?
How would an advertiser to this site benefit….?
How would the citizens who comment like Smirks or Big (T) or CNSYD actually make MONEY off of this ..?
Simply classic…..
Dear Lee Bright……..
It is obvious that neither YOU nor Nancy Mace are actually wanting to WIN this election and show US Senator Lindsey Graham the wrath of voters at all..!!
Lets check out your website….. http://www.brightforsenate.com/
WOW….we have checked out your Facebook and Youtube entries and it is clearly evident that you love to play CASPER…!!
Lee……whoever you are listening to and is giving you advice …..you need to FIRE them..!!
Matter of fact, get your tookus down to the Fitsnews headquarters and get in front of a video camera with Wil Folks and start asking Wil some questions about Nancy Mace and US Senator Lindsey Graham yourself..!!
LEE……….you I D I O T…..~!!!!! (Fist Poundzzz…!!!)
We highly wager that your dad never told you that when you really want to understand WHO your friends and warriors are …..is that you need to first tell them that THEY are your ENEMIES and see how they react…!!
LEE….is this really the best you got..?? If it is then we really don’t need you in DC..!!
I boldly BOLD FACE dare you to go home and look your wife in the eye and ask her if she is more worried about YOUR staff… or… how much GAS prices are going cost your family budget from the fiasco in SYRIA…???
Heck, I dare you to call Wil Folks WIFE and see if she knows how much she worries about her family monthly budget compared to Graham’s Staff…??
LEE….the least you could do would be to take your STAFF out for a picnic at a local church basketball gymnasium and ask them how you are going to fill it up with concerned voters to ask questions..??
Lee……get busy…..
Vote the kweer out of office! And rat now! Well, … on election day.
This is great news.
The thought of Lindsey Graham thinking about TBG’s staff has a very high ick factor…..
Fuck a bunch of Lee Bright………
From day one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And that has not changed one bit since the first day that shithead has run for office!!!
