How Big a Disaster Has The Lame-Duck Session Been? Lindsey Graham Now Scolding Fellow RINOs For “Capitulating” to Democrats…
Yeah, it’s that bad…
(The Hill)- Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) lashed out at fellow Republicans Tuesday for a “capitulation … of dramatic proportions” to Democrats and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) in the lame-duck Congress.
Graham said Republicans have no one to blame but themselves for allowing ratification of the New START Treaty and other legislation in the period before new lawmakers are sworn in in January.
“When it’s all going to be said and done, Harry Reid has eaten our lunch,” Graham said on Fox News radio. “This has been a capitulation in two weeks of dramatic proportions of policies that wouldn’t have passed in the new Congress.”
Republican senators have broken with the party’s leaders on several key votes in order to advance some of President Obama’s top policies during the lame-duck. GOP members defected to pass a repeal of “Don’t ask, don’t tell” and have done likewise to secure likely ratification for the START Treaty. Some Republicans might allow a health bill for 9/11 first responders to move forward, while three Republicans voted to end debate on the DREAM Act, an ultimately unsuccessful immigration bill.
The hard-charging lame-duck Congress has led Democrats on Capitol Hill and in the White House to claim a successful post-election legislative session. That came after nearly two years of griping from Democratic leaders about Republican “obstructionism” on a variety of bills, including many of the unfinished items being addressed now.

he has the nerve…………….
He’s just pissed cause he got ‘out-rino-ed’
This is a comedy show right?
NAW………..
DEAL WAS THE TWO BIGGEST RINO’s………….
mccain and graham…………
COULD NOW VOTE AS CONSERVATIVES…………..
AS THE OTHER RINO’s HAVE GIVEN THEM COVER.
I didn’t see HIM doing anything about it.
Suprise, suprise.
Like I said, the Tea Party’s work has only just begun.
RINO’s ??? I’m from Maine where the RINO Queens roost…
Be of good cheer – on 2012,, Repub’s have 10 Senate seats up for election, Dem’s have 23. Even forgetting Tea Party trends, etc, simple probability puts the Dems in the minority.
The Census has given a BUNCH ( ~ 12 ) more House seats to the Repub’s, making it even more certain to keep the House.
Now, the big issue – if we could just get the Repub’s to not fuck up this country as bad as they usually do. That one’s gonna be tricky.
Little Lindsey is right, I’ve been watching all of the Lame Duck I can, infuriating is putting it mildly.
I will give credit where credit is due, so he gets credit from me for a change.
It has been the likes of which I have never seen…too bad those that could didn’t pay attention- it needed attention and tons of voices screaming with outrage at many on our side of the aisle, and they aren’t even done screwing us yet.
I hope those that voted with the dems, everyone of them has a real conservative challenger when their time comes…I hope more than anything others don’t forget how many voted as time goes by..this has been a despicable disgrace.
Btw…the leaders we have on our side of the aisle aren’t going to do the trick for me in the long run, I can already see what’s coming down the road in so many ways.
Well DG i was listening not watching but was burning up phone time but alas I’m one lone voice out here
Hey, anyone else think that Lindsay and Brad Manning would make a cute couple?
Lindsey took off his apron and snood and ran out of the
kitchen screaming! Did the quiche fall? Are his shirred
eggs dry and mealy? No. He is a kitchen minion who
is asserting his authority as a US Senator….but I can’t
remember for which party he speaks.
Of course they cut these damn deals. Its the only way Rhinos would be able to handjob..er handouts before the next years cuts off their ability to dip into the coffers. Fat greedy bastards every one of them.
Is he beginning to feel the next election coming?
Oooooh… Little Lindsey is desperately looking for where he mislaid his horridly shrunken pair.
Murkowski makes me wanna spit.
.
I’m surprised little lindsay could get his liberal head out of obama’s ass long enough to notice. This rino bastard is starting to worry about the next election.
I think lindsey is mad he didn’t get crap and tirade through yet..
For what it’s worth, I contacted Isackson’s office and told him to vote no on START.
A “hissy fit” lindesy?
Nice job of fucking the county up so far!
I know you people in Carolina will send this boy packing!
