Lindsey Graham Admits He’s Clueless

Lindsey Graham gives the quote of the day in a Politico story about how the GOP’s senators think Obama is giving them the shaft:

The pattern is they’re pretty good at reaching out when they need you, and when they don’t, they don’t mind running over you

I can’t believe Graham let himself be quoted on this.  But then again, if he’s clueless, he wouldn’t know why this is an admission of cluelessness.  How is it an admission?

  • Graham is making that statement as though something about the Democrats has recently changed.  This is not true.  This is the way they’ve always been, though they’ve been more blatant about it lately.  Their agenda is power and changing America so they can keep that power forever.  One of their tactics to winning, or at least making Republicans lose, is tricking and using clueless rubes such as The Official Maverick Lapdog to undermine them or help pass Democrat bills.
  • After all of the Democrats’ rhetoric and dirty politics, he still doesn’t get it.  The Obamacare debate clearly didn’t convince him, or he wouldn’t be saying things like this.  The latest Gang of 14 failure?  It was obvious to everyone but the oblivious, like this fool.  He’ll probably be sounding hurt at the end of his career, when he still can’t realize why Democrats are so mean to him when they don’t need him to blow it for the Republicans again.
  • There’s a fair amount of evidence, like statement’s he’s made about future efforts on the cap and trade bill and amnesty, that he’s not going to mind being used and run over in the future.  He’ll revert to RINO form, along with every other RINO who we’re unfortunate enough to elect, and just keep being deceived and used.

Of course, all of this presumes that RINOs aren’t just mislabeled Democrats, and are voting their principles while damaging the Republican party at the same time.

It gets better.  The Danged Maverick John McCain is actively attempting to recruit and elect people just like his pet Senator Graham.  Fiorina in California and Norton in Colorado both qualify as his picks, and so was Crist in Florida.  Do you think after all of his hostility towards conservatives and conservative principles that he’s choosing anyone who’s not going to be a carbon copy of The Pomeranian?

This is why my position on Senators like Graham and RINOs like him hasn’t changed.  No RINOs, no exceptions.  Rebuilding the Republicans into a real conservative party just so fools like him can undermine it and rip it to the ground again is a waste.  It’s better to make smaller gains with reliable people than to end up with more Senators and Congressmen like him.  Unless you’d like to see them help pave the way to the next Obama as they did this time, whether they were trying to do so or not.

Text Messages Do Not a Sex Scandal Make

I’ll summarize this story from the beginning, though I suspect you may have seen it at another blog.

Nikki Haley is a candidate running in the Republican primary for governor of South Carolina.  A blogger named Will Folks is claiming she had an affair with him.  She’s denying it vehemently.  So as proof, he released a series of text messages that look suspiciously like a group of people trying to hide a sex scandal.

Text messages do not a sex scandal make.  They might, however, traffic make.  Controversy breeds visits and the shining of spotlights.  On the flip side, he has to know that if he’s only saying this for publicity, his credibility is shot.

I mean, seriously.  I could just as easily try and gain traffic by saying something completely absurd like this…

I just can’t keep this to myself anymore.   For the past four months, I’ve been having torrid sexting exchanges with…Jessica Rabbit.

It’s been such a nightmare.  Having to hide when the messages arrive, the 3am phone calls from Roger Rabbit screaming  “Puh-puh-puh-pleeeeeeze!”  Being shadowed by some PI named Eddie.

My nerves are shot, and my family is beginning to worry.  So I’m coming clean.

Really not that hard to fake with a little time and thought, folks.  Absurdity included for emphasis.

Obama’s Insult to Everyone’s Intelligence On the Border

Obama plans to announce his intention to send up to 1,200 National Guard troops to the border in a transparent pretense of doing something about it.  If you remember, Bush tried to pull this trick  so he could portray himself as actually giving a damn about border security during his amnesty debacle.  That was an insult to everyone’s intelligence too, and it cost him and his party dearly.

Today, Obama’s peddling the same insult to everyone’s intelligence as he tries the same thing.  However, unlike Bush, he’s repeating the trick in the hopes that we won’t notice.  Think of it as the original insult to our intelligence, plus an extra helping.

Is anyone seriously supposed to believe that after applauding that parasite Calderon and trashing Arizona’s new immigration law alongside his friends, that this blatant flip-flop is for real?  The only thing this bit of theater is missing is a hot A-list actress walking down a red carpet for the cameras.  In fact, that would probably improve this non-action on a very real issue we need to fix.

In other related news, McCain supposedly got into an argument over border security with Obama.  It’s nothing related to the invasion, I’m sure, since the only substantive disagreement between them on the issue is McCain getting primaried over it in August.  Either that, or something along the lines of “My name goes first on the amnesty bill, damnit!  Like McCain-Kennedy!  MY NAME!  And I get puff press about how awesome and mavericky I am!  Except when it’s inconvenient to be mavericky!  ME!  Why did it stop?!”

Here’s an original thought for Obama.  Do something real about the border.  He’d make more friends that way.

Addendum: It gets better.  Mexico just told Obama what to do with those troops.  As in dictating how our troops are to be used for Mexico’s benefit.  And just when I thought my opinion of Calderon couldn’t get any lower…

A Novel Way to Protest the Arizona Immigration Law

Well, the protesting of Arizona’s immigration law are still in full swing.  We have immigration bracelets.  We have sanctuary cities disallowing employee visits in their most sanctimonious rhetoric.  And most importantly, we have gringo masks!  So, to contribute to this absurdity in some small way, it’s time to suggest a new and never-considered alternative to pressuring Arizona until they give in and crack.

It’s very simple.  If you’re an illegal living in Arizona, leave.  That’ll show ‘em!

That’s right.  All you illegals and amnesty advocates saying that they contribute more to the economy than they take can put your feet where your mouth is.  Just pack up and head back to your country of origin, or to the country of origin of those you’re supporting, whatever it may be.  Yes, a lot of you are from Mexico, but no one’s making assumptions.  That would be insensitive.

So every immigration lawyer, illegal immigrant, border-crossing criminal, and liberal protester type:  just get up and go.  Imagine the horrifying consequences of your loss.  Why, what will their hospitals, courthouses, prisons, and social services offices do without you?  They’ll be begging for your return in no time.

So show Arizona what for.  Get out of the state, the country, or even off the planet.  They’ll wish they’d never tried to prosecute you for breaking the law before you forget how to get back.  Really.
