If anything great should be remembered from this past election it should be the fact that Grover Norquist has become much less significant. The number of Republicans breaking with the Norquist pledge to not raise taxes keeps rising, with the latest one coming out today: Open criticism of Grover Norquist and his Americans for Tax […]
One of the tools terrorists always try to employ is economic terrorism. Find ways to destroy an economy to help push their agenda. Now a U.S. Senator is pushing that very tactic here at home: South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham (R) called on government contractors to put employees on layoff notice before November’s election as […]
Again, the IOKIYAR syndrome strikes: Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) has vowed to bring the Senate to a standstill unless congressional leaders agree to allocate $40,000 for a federal study on deepening the Port of Charleston. Graham says one out of five jobs in South Carolina stem from trade through Charleston’s busy port, and he warns […]
Here’s what Lindsey Graham said about attempted car bombing suspect Faisal Shahzad being read his rights: Miranda warnings are counterproductive in my view,” Graham said at a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing Wednesday. “The homeland is part of the battlefield.

That Jonathon Capehart was just on Morning Meeting and saying how the Democrats form circling fire squads because they go after their own members who disagree with them, unlike Republicans. Yeah that’s why Arlen Specter is still a Republican and Lindsey Graham is so loved by the GOP base, right along with Olympia Snowe and […]
The teabaggers are starting to take on Republicans and their first target is Lindsey Graham. Now, after voting to confirm Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court and expressing a willingness to build a compromise approach to clean energy legislation, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) appears to be the new target of tea party activists. At a […]
It’s amazing to hear Sanford now admit he had “crossed the line” with more women. So Sanford stood before the people of his state last week and lied while begging forgiveness. He even has been invoking God on his lies. This man is a plethora of sin. But if that isn’t enough, this part really […]

John McCain‘s loyal sidekick, appeared alongside former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, the GOP frontrunner in advance of 2012, and managed to stand out. Why?
