S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley isn’t the only establishment Republican cozying up to fiscally liberal, anti-free market, anti-liberty U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham …
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee – who claims he is waiting on Jesus to tell him whether he should run for president – taped a special interest advertisement on Graham’s behalf that began airing in the Palmetto State last month. In the ad, Huckabee proclaims Graham to be a “conservative champion of peace through strength.”
Um … really? Last time we checked Graham was a global interventionist looking to hop in bed with the same people who knocked down the Twin Towers.
Oh well … one man’s jihadist is another man’s freedom fighter, right?
Anyway, like Haley before him, Huckabee is clearly aiming to give Graham an electoral boost – one the embattled Senator desperately needs, according to recent polling.
Yet like Haley, Huckabee is adamant that he is not endorsing Graham.
“To be clear, I haven’t endorsed Lindsey Graham for Senate. Last year, I voiced an ad thanking him for support of Israel. It was not an endorsement for his reelection,” Huckabee said in a statement released this week. “In fact, I don’t plan to endorse anyone in SC Senate race in the primary but I will certainly help in the general election if asked.”
Huckabee goes on to say that “Senator Graham’s people are using the ‘Thank you’ ad and treating it like an endorsement, but neither the PAC nor I personally have endorsed in the South Carolina Senate race.”
Mmmmm-kay …
Here’s the thing: If you plaster your face all over people’s television sets kissing another politician squarely in the ass (something Graham no doubt enjoyed), don’t come around the next day saying you’re not endorsing him.
Huckabee claims to be a Godly man. In fact he’s downright sanctimonious about how much holier he is than the rest of us. But he’s clearly forgotten Jesus Christ’s instruction from the Sermon on the Mount to let his “yes” be “yes” and his “no, no,” because “anything more than this comes from evil.”
Maybe Jesus will give him a refresher on that bit of Scripture when they meet to discuss Huckabee’s presidential aspirations …

They’re just itching for Graham to win his primary, then they can jump behind him immediately and happily. Of course, then you can’t criticize them for doing it, because what, do you want a Democrat to win?
Make no mistake, these two clods aren’t the only ones waiting to jump behind Graham, just the dumber and more impatient ones.
What will they do when Graham gets trounced in the primaries?
The same way FITS is going to endorse Haley even thought he spent the last 3 years bashing her.
just maybe that poontang was good.
heh! — heh! — heh!
guess we will have to wait for that book he promised 3 years ago to find out…
seems like she likes it
Try all the SC Republican fools that think they KNOW something, LOL. SC is the worst state in the union dumb one.
Then leave it.
I have, shorty. Great in your mind ? Republs will loose stup. U better stay put moron.
Money talks. End of story.
O(H, you mean the people of SC, That’s TOO easy.
Lindsey will do just fine no matter what happens. I think he helps make SC look good or at least better than the image we have nationally as redneck buffoons toting guns and bashing gays and loving Jesus on Sundays. Graham is smart and clever; do not underestimate him.
‘Bashing gays’ ? We’ve probably elected more than any state in the union…
If Lindsey is gay, why doesn’t he just admit it?
Isn’t it funny how people who want to deny gays the right to marry and all of the privations that go with it, will endorse and support Lindsey?
Of course, people like Lindsey will vote to deny gays equal rights on various issues after bumping boots with another male and the religious people swallow the facade; hook, line, and sinker.
Good comment, Nimatra is not the front guy, shes the back door girl. Then Linsey finishes the job. LOL !!!
Another great day in South Carolina…if we could get Ted Nugent in on this “shuffle” Graham would certainly have nothing to worry about.
Nothing HUH, you are joking,right ?
You must be new here.
Graham doesn’t need haley huckabee or anyones help with dominating numbers like these graham can tell you to go fuck yourself and he will still win.

PS I love your clearly misleading statement where above you related to graham being in trouble with the polls
Huckabee is nothing more than a fat bastard clown running his little revival tent show for the benefit of rubes.
Jesus loves him but everybody else thinks he’s an asshole
Lindsay Graham is a good SC Republican,just not fellow Republican Fits kind of Republican.
YE-HA, Nikki can win again, can’t wait for that ! Ted Nugent, Sara Palin, here we cum !
I caught that intentionally misspelled word.
Nice touch.
YOU BETCHA!
YOU BETCHA!
This is too much fun, way better than a democrat wining !
I’m waiting for Nancy Thurmond to sober up and endorse someone.
Never happen.
Sober up I mean.
Thats what ya got ? LOL !!!
Actually, no. She could “cougar” Lindsey and maybe get back in the lime light.
YOU BETCHA!
YOU BETCHA!
I swear to *the gods* this man is a pretentious ass!
can I get a witness?
Why not, He loves SC !!! LOL.
Cool thing about it, the Rebublican is screwed, listen to all the fiasco is priceless.
Mike Huckabee – who claims he is waiting on Jesus to tell him whether he should run for president…
Jesus told TBG that the Huckster will never be POTUS. (Of course that was after many Coronas and several Cuervo shots.)
HA, HA,HA, comming from Goldstein, makes it even more fun. The new meaning of clowns. Only in SC, LOL,LOL !!!
Almost forgot….Jesus wanted me to put in a plug for his landscape/masonry business as well as his brother’s “Gypsy cab” endeavor.
OH, Tonto not know no shame. Vote Jesus and Nikki Good. What a moron, pipe dream republicans, it’s over, fools. Never move from SC. Your place is here, where you belong. Nikki Haley, so pathetic people of SC. LOL.
As Will Smith once said, “Oh, HELL no!” And I actually liked him until I heard those ads. I have NEVER cut a political ad for somebody I didn’t agree with. And yes, that means I’ve passed up some real toast with honey. This just makes me sick!
SC voters are not helping their state or the cause of a “Democratic-Republic” by re-electing the same ol’ tried & true Lindsey ; who presents himself differently during election season than he does in Washington the remaining other 5 years. ” … by their fruits you will know them.” Matt. 7:20
