Lindsey Graham On The Rahm Emanuel Selection (you're not going to believe it)

In a statement:


"This is a wise choice by President-elect Obama.

"Rahm knows Capitol Hill and has great political skills. He can be a tough partisan but also understands the need to work together. He is well-suited for the position of White House Chief of Staff.

"I worked closely with him during the presidential debate negotiations which were completed in record time. When we hit a rough spot, he always looked for a path forward. I consider Rahm to be a friend and colleague. He's tough but fair. Honest, direct, and candid. These qualities will serve President-elect Obama well.

"Rahm understands the challenges facing our nation and will, consistent with the agenda set by President-elect Obama, work to find common ground where it exists. I look forward to working with him in his new position and will continue to do everything I can to help find a pathway forward on the difficult problems facing our nation."

i bet he won't be invited to Cpac.

Is that coming from Lindsey or lieberman? I can't tell anymore.

:) Never the less, good for Graham. Even McCain seems relieved. We remain in interesting times. I'm hoping the mundane will surface, but probably not anytime soon.

:rofl:

100% guaranteed health care for all Americans is centrist. We guarantee educational opportunity, there is not a thing "far left" about public schools. We need to reset the bar...public health care shouldn't be on the far left agenda, hell, 1/2 the far left agenda belongs in the fricken middle of the spectrum.

"Fucking Better Believe it."

are not well-organized enough to have yet formed a coalition.

Of course, all members of the Democrat Party are "radical leftist" according to Mr. Graham (I affectionately call him graham cracker).

there is no GOP Auxiliary in the Democratic party.

-nudge-


that's why the IWR, PATRIOT Act, Bush tax cuts for the wealthy, PATRIOT Act extensions, etc. failed.

And why the bush cabal was held strictly accountable for 9-11 failures, illegal wiretapping, election fraud, exposing CIA operatives, the illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq, implementing and condoning torture, ignoring congressional subpoenas, etc.

Now, if the repukes HAD an auxiliary, a few of those might have happened.

After all, if the "progressive" caucus couldn't garner enough votes to override the "irrelevant" DLC, there is a problem.

That person has always said that Graham is a slave to his constituents. According to this person (a die-hard dem) Graham has lamented that he has had to compromise his principles for the "party". Perhaps this is his way of getting back in. I mean, he could be a nice person - maybe...














:hide:

he seems sort of...different.

... and his, erm, "romantic preferences"?

Maybe Lindsey loves him a little 'discipline' once in a while.

they appreciate his willingness to be dishonest about himself

These people are desperate and up to something, I don't trust them and Graham in particular with Lieberman were laughing and talking big shit for the past 8 years...

meaning: the "extreme hard left" ...that never fails to make me chuckle.

nt

.. or the historically challenged.

Lindsey liked getting Piper "hopped up" on Mountain Dew....random....

"So what's the difference between a snowmobile and a snow machine, anyway?" Salter asked. "They're the same thing," Todd replied. "Right, so why not call it a snowmobile?" Salter joshed. "Because it's a snow machine," came the reply.

Later, Schmidt and Salter went outside so that Salter could have a cigarette. "So how about the Eskimo? Is he on the level?" Schmidt asked. Salter just shrugged and took another drag.

McCain loved the whole Palin family. They seemed to offer some relief, if not a touch of anarchy, to the Straight Talk Express, which had become a bit joyless. Piper, the governor's 7-year-old, thought nothing of crawling across Joe Lieberman's lap to get to her mother. Lindsey Graham mischievously enjoyed getting the child hopped up on Mountain Dew, a beverage to which he was mildly addicted. McCain relished talking to his running mate about guns and hunting in the wild. Duprey made up a T shirt that read OUR CANDIDATE FOR VP CAN HUNT, SHOOT, DRESS, COOK HER DINNER. JOE BIDEN ORDERS TAKE-OUT. Palin put on the shirt and gave him a hug. "I love this shirt," she said

Boner was in full whine mode about Emmanuel.

Its not his administration, it's Barack Obama's...if I thought Barack Obama needed counsel from the likes of Johnny Boner I wouldn't have voted for him.

Alas, I did vote for Mr. Obama and did so because I have absolutely no doubt he will put the right people into position to clean up the feces and piss the Republican oligarchy has doused everything they have touched with.

statements on Emmanuel. Completely different.

He is as snivveling and spineless on the inside as he is on the outside.

I can't wait to see the pathetic GOP leftovers attempt to hold their ground in punditland with Obama's staff.

It's not even a fair fight. Kindergarten's over, Lindsey: The grow ups are back in charge, and you're just sad.

McCain is gonna try and do all he can to rescue his tarnished reputation.
