Lindsey Graham: Tea Party Will Die Out – Republicans Will Move Away From "The Fringe"
Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, July 1, 2010, 2:56 PM
Not until you’re gone, Lindsey.
Lindsey Graham says the tea party will die out.
The Politico reported, via Free Republic:
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) says in a forthcoming article that the tea party movement is “unsustainable” and will “die out” because it lacks vision.
Graham made the comments to The New York Times as part of a profile in Sunday’s magazine written by Robert Draper.
Graham argues throughout the story that the Republican Party will eventually move away from the fringe and join him closer to the political middle but that, for now, it has shifted too far to the right.
“Everything I’m doing now in terms of talking about climate, talking about immigration, talking about Gitmo is completely opposite of where the tea party movement’s at,” Graham says. “The problem with the tea party, I think, is it’s just unsustainable because they can never come up with a coherent vision for governing the country. It will die out.”Graham later says that the GOP has shifted so far that Ronald Reagan would have trouble getting elected in today’s party.

Graham must be getting his info from msnbc. Someone needs to explain to him that the only tea party issues are taxes and spending.
Of course, IF Graham is right that his position is the ‘center’, then Ronald Reagan would not be elected.
Graham seems to have some real issues with learning history.
Jack Matthews commented:
And just what type of Republican is he expecting to join him in that small cloister of compromising cowardice?
Bob Grant commented:
Err Ummm Mr. Graham is that the same vision that until recently had you believing the sky was falling?
Maria commented:
A “coherent” vision you say? What about just follow the Constitution? Wow, what a novel concept!

John Steele commented:
Oh how I wish his seat was up in SC so they could vote him out and prove to him just how wrong he is.
Climate change is a scam, immigration “reform” is a death sentence, closing Gitmo and habeus corpus for terrorists is suicide … How do I despise you Lindsay, let me count the ways.
He should just change parties to the Democrats — that’s where he really is anyway.
Rick Liedtke commented:
Senator Graham is the last bastion of Senate commity, or is it comedy? Graham has always been a go along to get along kind of critter, He can’t take it when the “educated class” talks bad about him. How Sc can elect both Jim Demint and this squish is beyond me.

This clown doesnt get it. We are tired of compromising with jerkoff liberals. Compromising has compromised our country.
We got O’bigears because McCain wanted to be nice, compromise, suck up to libs and play nice while the libs and the media lied, slandered, misled and screwed the people into believing the jerk was the savior.
You can compromise amd move to the center all you want as you are bent over and being rheemed from the left right and rear .
You are just another idiot politician who doesnt understand the people, cant stop being a wishy washy schmuck and cant stop fighting against his own party instead of the enemy of the country. Obama and the left.
Screw You Jack !

Fuzzy commented:
Progressive pipe dreams from a disgrace to our country and its Constitution . . . what did you expect?
Moving too far to the “center” (er, LEFT) is what almost destroyed the Republican party (that was only 2006 and 2008, how soon they forget). It was on its last gasp, last legs exactly because of his kind of progressive big-spending, big-government, trash the Constitution crap. He’s delusional and engaging in some major wishful thinking.

Graham’s wishful thinking out loud. Sorry, Lindsey dear, the Tea Parties will still be going strong while you’re out making copies of your resume.
down with dems commented:
Preferably Lindsey Graham will die out.
Graham will not be re-elected as a Republican.
The tea party wants fiscal responsibility, that’s the uniting concept. Social issues and foreign policy aside, the tea party wants the government to run itself the way normal, legal, law-abiding Americans run their own homes. You don’t take on debt you can’t pay off, you don’t spend more to get out of debt, you don’t waste money on stupid worthless stuff.
Redwine commented:
The Republican Party needs to redefine itself. RINOs, like Graham and Hatch, and must be thrown out, and their influence marginalized. Michael Steele should have been booted out last year. The party has shifted so far to the left that few real conservatives can identify with it. That they will not filibuster the nomination of the lying, smarmy Marxist Kagan is reprehensible.
Real GOP conservatives, like DeMint, Bachmann, Ryan, Cantor, Pence, need to create a new coalition within the party. Their presence in a visible leadership is sorely needed at this critical time in America’s history.
Peggy commented:
In his dreams. He wants to work with O on immigration and cap and tax.
snowman commented:
This guy getting no oxygen to his brain, his aides should tell him to stand more often.
Kevin commented:
It’s time to label Grahamnesty what he is, a donkey in elephants clothing. I think this jack ass is up for re-election in 2014, hopefully the good people of South Carolina will put this bum out to pasture once and for all.
Elly commented:
“Everything I’m doing now in terms of talking about climate, talking about immigration, talking about Gitmo is completely opposite of where the tea party movement’s at…”
Apparently Lindsey is not listening. Patriots are talking alot about these issues, just not in a tune that Sen. Graham can sing. He is out of touch with the very people that put him in that position and will eventually remove him from it.
How about becoming useful to the public which you are accountable to – and get on the same page as US. Try focusing your attention on jobs, on stopping the oil spillage, on protecting our gulf coast and livlihoods in for all those affected, how about enforcing current policies to protect our citizens along the border, how about (I could go on).

Lindsey, Lindsey, Lindsey. First, many Marxist, socialist liberals will be sent packing, as well as many RINOs.

With Republicans like this who needs Democrats?
I was sort of ticked and then I got to the part where he mentioned Reagan and now I am ticked off.
Where do these moderate Republicans aka confused Liberal Democrats come off invoking Ronald Reagan and what he thinks a Republican should be! He sure didn’t govern EVER from the center.
The only think that ever made Reagan compromise was an idiotic Democrat ran Congress. If Ronald Reagan would have been given the Congress Bill Clinton had this country would have seen greatness like it had never seen before!
Tom63010 commented:
I did find something I agree with him on in the same article:
“In his new profile piece in the New York Times, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said something very interesting about one of his top allies, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ): McCain is moving right because of the challenge against him in the Republican primary from former Rep. J.D. Hayworth.”
If I never see another “moderate” Republican in my life I would die a happy man!
Militant Conservative commented:
Graham, your going to learn what Admiral Yammamoto told the emperor of Japan in the 40′s.
He could run roughshod over the seas for a few years but when the sleeping giant awakes we will be swept from the seas. The giant is awake and your sitting there poking it with a sharp stick. Listen up you deluded wind bag, when America wants something it gets it. They thought they wanted (hope and change).
Now they want rid of it as fast as possible. It stinks like diapers in the summer of Texas. You smell bout the same. Prediction: 50 to 60 seats in the house and 6 to 8 in the senate. Hard right turn no room left for RINOS like you. powder is dry
kato commented:
Just one more reason why this Reagan Republican is an ex-Republican.
Chris Vehr commented:
R I N O !
Graham is part of the problem. He is a democrat who has managed to infiltrate the republican ranks.
Kinda like our president, who is really a Kenyan but has infiltrated the American ranks.
…or he’s really a socialist who has infiltrated the democratic ranks.
Regardless, Lindsey Graham represents exactly what is wrong with our politicans. His comments in The Politico sum it all up.

That statement betrays real lack of vision – not to mention excessive unearned pride.
But, since Graham brought up the Reagan years,
And you knew who you were then
Girls were girls and men were men
Mister, we could use a man like Ronald Reagan again!
Recovered Demoholic commented:
The old, weak-tea, farts don’t have a clue about the Tea Party amalgamation. They ought to be thanking their lucky stars, and not chalking up the wins in their column.
So far, they’ve really been along for the ride. If they don’t start pushing, they should at least help reduce the drag by keeping their heads down.
Come to think of it, Lindsey, you could be of use. It’s almost time to grease the axles.
GrayRider commented:
RINO season has officially opened….lock and load.
WSG commented:
He may be right, the Tea Party may die out, it may be replaced with the peasants grabbing pitchforks and storming the capital.
There is no coherent statement in what LG has to say, such is his history. He is correct that the Tea Party has no coherent theory of how to run the government. Mostly because a government that should have a coherent theory that should fit on a post card has been extended to the greeting card equivalent of ‘War and Peace’.
It somewhat misses the point that the federal government, now the size of the Titanic, should be the metaphorical equivalent of a SEAL insertion boat. People should think of it as a tool to accomplish what it must and nothing else.
I’m sorry if I can say that you (Graham) are not what we need, but I don’t need an upstart movement that can manage something as large and un-maneuverable as you might accept as federal government. They would become a part of the problem. And that, grasshopper, is why you failed.
If you create a giant unmanageable monster, you shouldn’t be surprised if no one wants to have it run well, or on their dime. Make it smaller, accountable, and lawful (maybe even doing what it is supposed to do instead of trying to do everything else) and perhaps someone will bite on the bait. Otherwise, are those torches I see coming up the drive?

Only one M, Yamamoto. But you’re right. Interestingly this sentiment was shared by pretty much every army or navy officer who knew the US. The men who made the call to attack the US had never been to the US. They didn’t know what they were dealing with. As usual.

Does SC have any sort of recall mechanism?
There must be a way to dump this chump before he has a chance to switch parties after 11/02/2010, otherwise he’ll become another Specter, but with 4 years to work out his nefarious aid of the coming DemoRat minority.

Lindsay Graham is a perfect example of members of congress from both parties staying too long in Washington. They lose touch with their constituents and begin to think of them as rubes with no brains who have to led by the hand by the enlightened. The enlightened being themselves, of course. Graham is a big disappointment. When he was a member of the house and helped lead the Clinton impeachment, I had high hopes from him but he is a victim of the cocktail circuit in Washington. Either that or his was one of the FBI files Hillary and Bill stole from the FBI andhe is being blackmailed.

Poor Lindsey, he seems to be living in another decade. Everything has changed now and he doesn’t seem to realize it. Gone are the days when you could say one thing and do another and by the time the next election rolled around, people forgot.
Now you live in a world where every word you say in public is recorded. Everything. The guy with the phone over there? He’s watching you and recording. His on-line friends are distributing it to their friends; by tomorrow it will be indexed, cross-linked, archived and numbered. When next election comes, there it will be: you saying one thing and doing another. Or, worse yet, you doing something embarrasing, or ill considered or just plain dumb. The days when you could get elected with the press covering for you are gone.
He really doesn’t get it.

This Years Maverick
[Lindsey Graham was sitting in a sedan early one morning and contentedly discussing the various fellow South Carolina conservatives who dislike him — Tea Partiers, Constitutionalists, immigration hardliners — when Van Cato, his upstate regional director, lifted a hand from the steering wheel and said: “That’s the leader of them right there. There’s
his sign. He’s running for Greenville County Council.”
“Harry Kibler,” Graham, the state’s senior U.S.
senator, murmured as he read the campaign poster.
“He’s the one that has that prop of your legs sticking out
of a toilet in the back of his truck,” Cato added helpfully.
Graham turned away from the window. A large red flea bite, acquired during a recent trip to Afghanistan, sat aglow just to the right of his nose. “Is he running as a Republican?” he asked. Cato affirmed that Kibler was.
“Who’s running against him?” Graham asked.
“Fred Payne. He’s the incumbent.”
“O.K. Tell Fred, anything I can do, I’ll do.”
[..]
In years past, Graham’s deal-making forays typically featured his close friend, Senator John McCain of Arizona, as the frontman. Nowadays McCain has shucked his maverick ways in order to court his state’s G.O.P. primary voters, while Graham’s reflexive displays of bipartisanship have made him something of a scourge among South Carolina Tea Partiers. Harry Kibler fingered Graham as major prey in Kibler’s “RINO hunt” (Republicans in Name Only). The South Carolina chapter of Resist.net warns constituents that Graham “is up to his old reach-across-the-aisle tricks again!” Among the conservative activists who have called for censuring Graham as a quisling of the right is the state’s G.O.P. gubernatorial nominee and Tea Party favorite, Nikki Haley.]

Lindsey Graham is not going out with Ricky Martin
[Other gems from the New York Times Magazine profile of Graham: he
is obsessed with polling, all Republicans hate him for not thinking the President is a socialist Muslim, and while he seems to regret John McCain's right-ward lurch, he is relishing the attention that comes from being The Official Reasonable Republican of the United States Senate. Do you know how many times he has been to the White House? He seems to talk to Rahm Emanuel hourly!
“The president has said very nice things about me off the record to other reporters,” Graham recently told me, and a senior administration official confirmed that the White House places particularly high value on Graham.
And yet... he has not helped the White House pass any legislation.
Lindsey Graham has never delivered GOP votes on anything. And he never will, because no one in the Republican caucus has any respect for him. He cannot even deliver the vote of his best friend, John McCain.
He will not do anything to get immigration reform or energy legislation passed, this Congress or the next. And he actually seems to understand this! Which makes him smarter than Barack Obama and Rahm Emanuel.]

he can make such a determinative statement..

Last time I looked the Tea Party members are the American people. Poor Lindsay he has been Washingtonized.

It’s too bad that he ran for re-election in 2008 when being a squish probably saved his ample rear end, electorally. I just hope the residents of South Carolina rethink their votes in four years when they again have the chance to throw this smug loser onto the ash heap of history, to borrow a phrase. I can’t imagine anyone less like Jim DeMint. It’s hard to believe that they come from the same state.

It is at best a suicidal plan.We have all been pushed left by very patient billionaires, public schools, and Hollywood. They were patient, willing to change one mind at a time. Aside from that, what we don’t have are politicians with character. In general, it is worth considering that some elected officials have serious mental and emotional problems and should be seen as such. (Not saying Graham is one, but that there are definitely some).

Right you are. In short, “they can never come up with a coherent vision for governing the country” because the Tea Partiers envision much less governing of the country and much more protection of the nation that was the initial reason for and purpose of the Federal govt.
