Thread: Lindsey Graham Watch

"So do we call him and tell him thanks or send him this thread?"




As I see it our task now is to keep informing our fellow citizen, support those who fight the good fight i.e. Rep Smith (TX), Rep King (IA) etc. and stay poised to raise our voice as loud as possible if there is a sell-out in the making. The fact is there are hundreds of Senators in approximately 20 states right now who are more important to our movement than Graham is. These State Senators have the power to move legislation on the illegal immigration issue and get it passed.

We do not have time to waste nipping at the heals of elitists like Graham. They do not care what we think. Besides, they remain convinced they can fool us all again and back to business as usual now that we have blown off a little steam at the ballot box.

In reality nothing has fundamentally changed because we have not taken their printing press away, they can still create "winners" with your tax dollars, the borders are not secure, millions of illegal aliens continue to work in the United States and the spending goes on and on for things that 90% of us would not take one red cent out of our pocket to fund if the Federal Government did not have the power to put us in jail and or take what assets we may have.

So, Steve I would not call to thank the Senator, send him a copy of this thread or otherwise acknowledge his existance. Leave that to the Taliban if they are so inclined. But if the voters of South Carolina and other likeminded Americans like us get informed and stay vigilant about what Graham is doing he won't know what hit him come 2014 when he is up for reelection. In the meantime I would not be upset if he became so miserable serving in office that he resigned. If the 2012 cycle goes well Graham and his ilk will find themselves without influence at which point he will become nothing more than an MSNBC time fill interview. At that point he would get more attention in the witness protection program.

And no I don't believe he will successfully move any anti-Birthright Citizenship legislation through the Senate. Actually, he knows just how to keep it tied up so it won't pass. If the Supreme Court thinks Congress is working to address the issue they won't likely take it up. His involvement in that is nothing more than smoke and mirrors. So, for those that want the 14th Amendment Issue dealt with you should pressure Congress to either take an up or down vote now or punt it to the SCOTUS.

Nothing the law and order crowd wants will gain passage with Graham or McCain heavily involved or leading the way yet they will always be there to provide a vote for Amnesty when it makes sense to their handlers. I would be willing to bet Graham would never allow an up or down vote to take place on legislation eliminating illegal aliens from gaining birthright citizenship without there being a tradeoff amensty of some sort. He and McCain did not support the Dream Act amnesty deal because it was not BIG ENOUGH and it did not protect employers from potential liability.

McCain & Graham, those two are our worst nightmare if we ever fall asleep again!

And thanks for doing all you have.

Graham, McCain flirting with immigration reform support
By Liz Goodwin – Mon Feb 7, 10:47 am ET

Two Republican senators who took a hard right turn against immigration reform last spring are signaling they may be prepared to revisit comprehensive immigration reform in the new Congress.

Of course, the GOP-controlled House would most likely never pass an immigration bill erecting a pathway to citizenship for the nation's 11 million illegal immigrants. But GOP Sens. John McCain of Arizona and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina are nonetheless hinting that the Senate may attempt reform anyway.

Graham told Politico's Carrie Budoff Brown he is again in talks with New York Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer, though he said their plans are in the "infant stage." McCain said yesterday on CNN he would consider immigration reform once the border is secure. (A deadline that translates, in all likelihood, to Congress first passing the "10-point" border security bill that he and his home-state GOP senate colleague John Kyl have put forward to send 3,000 troops to the border). Republican Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, said in an interview that McCain, once a champion of reform, told him "that there's a shot at this."

Southern Baptist Convention leader Rev. Richard Land, a conservative supporter of comprehensive immigration reform, says the move would be more effective if led by new faces. He suggested newly elected GOP Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida. Rubio's spokesman Alex Burgos tells The Lookout that the senator "doesn't believe that amnesty is the correct solution to this challenge," and would vote against comprehensive immigration reform.

Good thing average folks like us are now becoming aware of this stuff much earlier in the process so we have a better chance to keep the “traitorâ€

Can you believe this guy? Now he wants to politically bury a few new Tea Party supported Senators who just happen to be strong voices against illegal immigration. Hopefully Paul and Lee will just tell Grahamnesty to start minding his own votes and stay out of their business.

Why is Graham wound up over Social Security? Is he seeking to cut benefits for American Citizens who actually paid into the system so that SSI and other benefits can be paid out to illegal aliens, those he wants to give amnesty and others who have never paid into the system, much less paid their fair share?

How about Grahamnesty and the other lobbied up traitors that have led this country down the drain stop regulating and deal making so the economy can actually grow. Genuine organic growth (and deporting illegal aliens) would go a long way toward solving the problem that social security will have in the future. Despite corporate complaining and cheap labor greed if wages increased to reflect a "Free Market" instead of the current "Black Market", payments into the system will skyrocket! Problem solved.

Now medicare/medicaid and the national debt, that is a different story.


Graham Shifts to Embrace Tea Party

By Dan Weil

Last year, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., didn’t hide his disdain for the tea party movement. He said it lacked coherence and would soon “die out.â€

Immediate help needed here!

What a snake this guy is. If his not so secret personal life does not influence his actions you cannot help but wonder why he does the things he does. Hopefully South Carolinians will not return him to the Senate in 2014!

The Lindsey Graham Pro-Obamacare Panel

Posted by Quin Hillyer Print Email

Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli seems destined to lose the next round of his lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Obamacare, and he can blame South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham for it.

At the Fourth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, Cuccinelli drew a horribly liberal three-judge panel to hear his case. Two of the judges are Obama appointees, and one is a Clinton appointee. The two Obama appointees should not even be on the court — but they are because of failures by, or the outright underhandedness, of Graham. If Graham had worked harder to force approval of GW Bush judicial nominees for his own Fourth Circuit, the Circuit would remain among the most conservative in the nation, rather than now trending liberal.

Both of the Obama appointees came for seats that stood vacant during the entire eight years of the Bush presidency. Yes, eight whole years. Maryland’s Andre Davis filled a seat to which US Attorney Rod Rosenstein had been nominated by Bush. So solid were Rosenstein’s credentials that even the liberal Washington Post editorialized not just in his favor, but impassionedly in his favor, several times. Yet he never even received a vote. North Carolina’s James Wynn came from a state that for two of those eight years enjoyed two Republican senators — thus, no “blue slipâ€
