Am I the only one fascinated by the evolution of Lindsey Graham as a Senator and political figure? When he led the successful fight to impeach President Clinton in 1998, and then assumed Strom Thurmond's seat in the Senate six years later, I had pegged him as a fire-breathing conservative in the tradition of Jesse Helms and his fellow South Carolina Senator, Jim DeMint. But since becoming a Senator he has gone against the conservative grain on several occasions: (1) As a member of the "Gang of 14", he stymied Republican leaders' use of the so-called nuclear option; (2) his consistent support of comprehensive immigration reform has earned him the ire of conservative activists; and (3) he voted in favor of Sonia Sotomayor's appointment to the Supreme Court.If the Senate and the House cannot reconcile their health care bills, Graham may once again be dragged in as a deal maker.

Money corrupts and as always–THE AMERICAN PEOPLE–come last to copious Campaign contribution, family vacations, sexual favors and undisclosed gifts. Any clean shaved, newly voted politician is rapidly corrupted once he reaches the halls of power. Honest perhaps at the beginning–but being ostracized by his own party members, soon turns the page? Demanding lobbyists have been in the corruption business since the first President. A good example is the commencing Comprehensive Immigration Reform. Wait and see? Don’t believe it? Go to JUDICIAL WATCH and NUMBERSUSA for the ugly details on corruption in high places? Harry Reid D-NV, is one of the worst, devious Senators to push for Comprehensive Immigration Reform. He is a traitor to the American people, because not only will millions will be legalized, who can bring in their extended families. But the word is already out across the oceans, where millions more impoverished, unskilled people will start climbing the undermanned border fence.
ReplyDeleteWE MUST JAM THE SWITCHBOARDS IN WASHINGTON, PUSHING OUR OWN DEMANDS at 202-224-3121 that bars illegal aliens from the health care insurance “exchange” and halt any AMNESTY. YOUR VOICE IS MAKING AN IMMENSE DIFFERENCE TO HOW THE POLITICIANS VOTE? WARN THEM OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF IGNORING PUBLIC OPINION. The–PEOPLE–is the absolute power of this country, but they must speak up–or face the most terrible predicament this country has had to face.

Either parties are to blame for the massive financial predicament each state is in regarding the 20 to 30 million illegal aliens and families. They have swarmed into the border states and nearly bankrupted California–a SANCTUARY STATE–with Arizona close behind. State legislators scare of their own shadows have pushed for welfare entitlement for these impoverished people. The loser is the US taxpayer, who can hardly keep his family, car and mortgage above water.
