On CNN Yesterday , Lindsay Graham has memory problems

Let's just get through this thing, and whatever it costs, it costs," Graham told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on "The Situation Room" on Monday of the devastating floods in his home state.

Graham was among the Republican senators who opposed a federal aid package in January 2013 to assist states hit by Hurricane Sandy, but now he doesn't remember why.

"I'm all for helping the people in New Jersey. I don't really remember me voting that way," Graham said.

Pressed further, he said: "Anyway, I don't really recall that, but I'd be glad to look and tell you why I did vote no, if I did."

Graham said he tends to "try to be there for friends and neighbors, so hope they'll be there for us."

Of course the government should help - but I hate these assholes who think the only true Americans are the ones who vote for them and screw the others.

He was referring to NC and GA...New Jersey isn't really a neighbor...more like a distant relative you don't really like, but have to put up with!!!
