Republican Lindsey Graham Holds Conference Call With Dem Senator Manchin – Defending His Record
Posted by Jim Hoft on Monday, October 15, 2012, 6:47 AM
Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul started running ads against Democratic senators who voted to continue foreign aid to regimes in Egypt, Pakistan and Libya last week.
In response, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham held a conference call with West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin to slam both the ad and Paul’s foreign aid bill.
It’s time for Lindsey Graham to go.
The Daily Caller reported:
South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham’s opposition to political ads targeting several Democratic senate incumbents could create a significant re-election issue for him in 2014.
When Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul launched an ad campaign against Democrats who opposed his proposal to end foreign aid to Libya, Egypt and Pakistan, Graham took the unusual step of defending the Democrats from a fellow Republican.
Graham held a conference call with West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin to slam both the ad and Paul’s foreign aid bill.
Paul swiftly fired back, telling Politico, “I don’t see myself campaigning against a Republican in a general election ever, that’s why I think it’s extraordinary that Graham is supporting a Democrat in a general election.”
“Which is more important,” he asked: “Defending … a failed policy of foreign aid or getting a Republican majority?”
The comes amid speculation that Graham could be a tea party target when he faces re-election two years from now.
Isn’t it about time Republican Congressman Trey Gowdy starts thinking about a senatorial run?

Walt commented:
Graham is in the closet. So is Harry Reid(probably). Maybe they are an item.
obfuscatenot commented:
Ann Barnhardt has it right….”Lindsay Graham, you jackass.”
Which is actually an insult to our fair farmyard animal, that can be useful. Graham is not useful to the country in any capacity.
donh commented:
Flimsey Graham is really Janet Napolitano in drag…note they have never been seen or photographed together in the same room.
Finncrisp commented:
Graham is heading to the Democratic party – this is his first tippy toe to switching parties if they need him after November to retain power. The man is an embarrassment.
JoyO commented:
IT IS TIME FOR JOE MANCHIN TO GO! This ad addresses only one of the reasons. His vote against the repeal of Obamacare alone would get my vote for his opponent.
even steven commented:
Graham needs to get booted out of office. He’s a disgrace.
Patty commented:
Bye Graham. See Ya, wouldn’t want to be Ya.
mamagriz1968 commented:
If we could get rid of Lugar here in Indiana, South Carolina can get rid of Lindsey his next time up. It’s so liberating to primary the arrogant, entitled RINO’s and take their seats from them. If only we could also take their pensions and other benefits they voted themselves!

South Carolina, please vote this menace out. He’s embarrissing.
Blacque Jacques Shellacque commented:

He should have been gone long before this point.
