Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-ino) Says:

What’s wrong with the Republican party? Sen. Graham among others are at the root of the problem. They are pronouncing themselves as “Moderates” and blaming the “Fringe” for the ills of the nation.

Graham: Tea party will ‘die out’

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.

“We don’t have a lot of Reagan-type leaders in our party. Remember Ronald Reagan Democrats? I want a Republican that can attract Democrats,” Graham told the Times. “Ronald Reagan would have a hard time getting elected as a Republican today.”

Graham has had several run-ins with tea party activists in South Carolina, notably getting censured over his support for climate change legislation by the Lexington County Republican Party, whose leadership consists of several tea party activists.

Let me tell you something you RINO P.O.S, its you and those like you that have put us in the mess we are in. Lyndsey Graham has been in office since 2002. Since then, his spending spree (Along with many other RINO’s and the POTUS) led to the current state of affairs. They led to OBAMA. Lyndsey Graham has been as much to blame as John McCain. Mr Graham is another “INCUMBENT” that needs the boot. South Carolina when your time comes, do the rest of the nation a favor and show him the door.
