Lindsay Graham (Idiot-SC): "I'll take the money, but I don't have to like it."
Just now on the Situation Room. Lindsey Graham, after a (good) question from Wolfie on whether he should oppose taking the money if he is opposed to the plan, stated (paraphrasing): "Well yes I'd take the money; let's not be crazy here." What a buffoon!

:crazy:

4. Those republicans who object most are the states that receive the most federal aid.
What a bunch of hypocrites the repukes are.

14. Here you go.
Red States Feed at Federal Trough, Blue States Supply the Feed

I think we should tell the red states and their repuke leaders to shut up and sit down, or we are going to pull the financial plug that has been feeding them at our expense.

http://www.slate.com/id/102291/

Not a great source for the topic at hand, but a fun read.

16. The slimeball Graham should refuse to have his state take the money. If he doesn't
he is a filthy hypocrite.

26. And just wait until he runs for reelection, boasting about the money he brought home.
STIMULUS money.

Hypocrisy at its finest.

6. Hey Lindsay, you're sounding like me with my late grandmother.
Me: I need a new video game, but I don't have enough...

Grandma: Oh, well let's see how much I have, ok?

Me: No! I can't take your money! Never!

Grandma: Quiet, what else am I going to spend my money on, so take it!

Me: It's ok, I'm sure I can go without.

Grandma: Is 40 enough?

Me: Yes, but I can't take your money.

Grandma: You will and you must.

Me: Grandma!

Grandma: Drunken Irishman! You don't have to like it, but you're taking this money!

Me: Fine!

:P

10. Those same obstructionist jerks will campaign on how they
"secured" money for the state and did all this wonderful stuff with it! They will stand next to every construction site smiling and taking pictures and patting themselves on the back.

11. One can only surmise, too, that LG will also take
the credit during his reelection campaign when the stimulus actually helps.

What a hypocrite.

23. I would tell you how this one feels.
But I have promised my son to quit talking like that in front of the little children.

Even Lindsey, though, is not as bad as his buddy, Dimwits. Who in my opinion stole his senatorial position in the 2006 SC blackbox election from his worthy opponent, Democrat Inez Tennenbaum.

27. Well, if they are smart they would WANT money for education.

South Carolina's public schools are ranked pretty low nationally IIRC. My brother is always complaining about the rankings but is a typical Republican and doesn't want to pay more tax money to fund schools.

Isn't that what he's been saying for the past week and a half?

22. Yeah. I wouldn't want to put his state at risk. If this won't work,
we shouldn't force it on poor Lindsay's constituents.

24. This is what I said a few days ago...
these creeps will vote against the bill, but reap the benefits of it. It's a win/win for them. I say, OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!

25. I was wondering if anyone else caught that!
What was even more hard to believe: Wolf referred to Graham and McCain again as "mavericks." I thought that was debunked last fall.
