"We really did go too far. We screwed up."

[WilliamPitt]

"We won't be the last political party to overplay our hand. It might happen one day on the Democratic side. And if it did, would Republicans, for the good of the country, kind of give a little? We really did go too far. We screwed up. But their response is making things worse, not better."

- Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC).

You feckless bag of fuck.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

1. hey, shit head. go meet with your unholy brethren in the House GOP. Let them know

THEY are the fuckers who are radical and went too far. Now this little shit wants to get a compromise using the softball mercy rule?

Go to hell, Graham. Hope you get primaried but good, you kook.

[nxylas]

107. If he gets primaried, it'll be by a teabagger

In fact it's already happened. When I lived in Columbia, I saw yard signs for a Tea Party candidate, whose name I forget, with the slogan "Because Lindsey's Too Liberal for South Carolina". South Carolina evidently disagreed, which makes me think that the threat to the Republican "reality caucus" from the Tea Party is overblown. If a primary challenge can't succeed in a state that seems inordinately proud of having been the first to secede from the Union in the run-up to the Recent Unpleasantness, where can it succeed?

[tweeternik]

111. probably either

Lee Bright or Nancy Mace ....

[olegramps]

120. He sounds like one of those "girly men".

[BeyondGeography]

2. Awww, put on dem big boy pants, Lindsey

C'mon, now. One leg at a time.

[kentuck]

3. Remember the blue dress....?

And what was on it? We wouldn't want our children to see that, would we?

Impeached the President?

Yeah, you did.

[MineralMan]

4. Yes, you did, Lindsey, you great twit.

Playing games with the good faith and credit of the U.S. Government. You should resign from the Senate at once. That is the only way you can redeem yourself. Please do so immediately, you gigantic, moronic boil on the ass of America.

Thanks for your attention.

5. When you get caught screwin' the pooch, you don't ask the other side to "give" a little.

All you can do is say, "I shouldn't have screwed that pooch. I'll stop doing that now."

69. Warning, this video reply is very um, not suitable for, um, just be warned!

They got caught all right, some of them can't even stomach what they are doing, while doing it....

[Baitball Blogger]

82. They absolutely expect us to compromise and give a little.

They have no recollection of the Bush-Cheney years when they undermined Democrats at every move.

6. Basically, We fucked up, why won't the Dems fix it they are meanies

[NuclearDem]

7. Golly gee, Lindsey, you don't say?

[seabeyond]

8. instead, tell your boys to buck up, face the music, do what is right and own their fuck up.

instead of whining and telling mommmy to fix it for them

[Warren DeMontague]

19. you mean these boys?

21. palin get elected in the house? whatever warren. you got a real "gotcha" moment in this. fuck...

pathetic

23. They were both rather prominently featured in the "Rally" in DC the other day, I think.

Or maybe you missed that?

[seabeyond]

25. so?

[Warren DeMontague]

28. I'm trying to figure out what you meant in your first post. Like... who's "mommy"?

If it can be translated out to roughly meaning getting back Speaker Pelosi, you and I DEFINITELY want the same thing.

[seabeyond]

33. fuck warren... i am talking about a VOTE to fix the mess they put the country in. mommy is the DEMS

getting them out of trouble

geezus

done

[Warren DeMontague]

38. Interesting metaphor, thanks for explaining it.

Speaker Pelosi, amirite? Let's hope.

[cui bono]

94. Well aren't you always posting against sexism?

Or have I got you confused with someone else?

If it's you then you just did the same thing you call out others for doing. It's not just males doing this. There are female R's in the House.

[moriah]

112. And those female Rs need to put on their big girl panties and deal with it.

I know people's tempers are riled and we haven't had a good women vs men thread in awhile, but this isn't the right one, okay?

[cui bono]

126. Back off jack. I didn't start it.

Okay?

And it's not about women vs. men. It's about hypocrisy.

[moriah]

127. Sea didn't really start anything either.

People decided to take things out of context, because as I said, there hasn't been a thread like that in a minute to get rid of that overload. We've had the yearly requisite spanking thread.

[Old and In the Way]

30. Warren..what's the opposite of misogyny?

Just wondering.

[seabeyond]

34. seriously? truly.... sad. look at you. put out the bat whatever... fuck

[Warren DeMontague]

37. it was an oddly worded post, to my mind.

but the fact is that these religious right crazies; frankly, they're completely deluded to the point of not being able to see straight over the "end times" and the "culture in crisis".

So whether you're talking about Cruz or Bachmann whoever, the fact is they're NOT GOING TO LISTEN because they have an agenda and the rest of us sinners can just take our nasty sinning selves and screw off, as the country goes over a cliff.

58. Did Bachman forget to put her makeup on?

She actually looks her age for a change.

[Warren DeMontague]

59. She looks around the bend whacked.

It's something Ive noticed in these "end times" types. Has nothing to do with makeup or hair or age or anything.

It's in the eyes.

[moriah]

114. Yeah, Sarah had that look that said "It's off to the funny farm we go!"

She was walking arm in arm with two men in one picture and if it'd been Shopped to put the two "escorts" in EMT uniforms, her facial expression really looked demented enough to have bought it...

31. I see some irony here, but not in a good way

The 1% built the TeaBaggers as their version of Hitler's Brown Shirts. But Hitler has his SS (I believe is was the SS) smack em down good when they had done their duty creating chaos. Kinda looks like the Koch Bro and Army have lost control of their Brown Shirts. I did think the Koch Bros. would let it get this far. But who knows, someone is going to get uber-rich via derivatives betting for the collapse of our economy.

36. Right, Lindsey. Because when the Big Dog got his knob polished, you and the rest of ...

your merry band of hypocrites, voyeurs, and shitheads decided "for the good of the country" not to thrust the nation into a Constitutional crisis.
Hey! WAIT A FUCKING MINUTE! Unlike your constituents and FoxNation, I remember how that whole gig actually unfolded.
So eat shit, you whiny little pissant. Sometimes when you fuck with the bull, you get the horns.

You helped this happen. You enabled these assholes.

[MSMITH33156]

44. I actually wouldn't have a problem

with throwing them a bone, except we never even asked for anything, so we have nothing to give them. Our position on this has been so non-controversial that we don't have anything. All we asked is they do nothing, and they asked for a ton of stuff. What is there to give? We didn't even ask for anything. It's not like a normal negotiation where we are getting everything and he is asking for a little something to not "spike the football."

[Downtown Hound]

45. The answer to your question Mr. Graham, is a flat out NO. Republicans wouldn't give shit.

Not for the country, and not for anybody but themselves and their corporate masters. And we all know that. So fuck off.

[sendero]

57. Exactly.

.... and I hope like hell Obama gives them NOTHING and I mean NOT ONE GOD DAMNED THING.

At the end of this whole mess they need to realize with CLARITY that THEY FUCKED THEMSELVES.

[hootinholler]

46. Oh, my Mr Graham!

Why I do declare that the Republicans hearts are so shriveled and hardened not unlike a prune pit that I daresay NO! You buffoons would not recognize a hole in the ground confusing it for your posterior, how could we expect you to yield were we in a similar position?

The reality is that we our our side have already yielded which is reflected in the sequestration poison pill you forced us to swallow the last time you held the country hostage.

[Brigid]

47. Crying in politics?

There's no crying in politics!

[mindwalker_i]

48. Yeah, if Dems screwed up

Republican would ride that rocket all the was into the Devil's rectum and most of the way through dude's intestines, pumping their fists the entire time. So no, Dems won't and shouldn't pull the GOP's head out of it's ass and give them mouth-to-mouth.

you flushed the whole GD country down the toilet and now you don't want us to be ticked at you even though your asshat fellow party members are still blocking a deal?

Too f....ing late.

[Agnosticsherbet]

51. Well that makes me feel better.

I think I will just cut and paste that and send it to my creditors.

[stage left]

52. Do you suppose Lindsey might cry like Boehner does?

I would love to see Lindsey cry and then melt away because his own salty tears fell on him.

[calimary]

64. Welcome to DU, stage left!

Glad you're here! AMAZING, isn't it? Just mind-blowingly AMAZING. Wrong person's admitting this, though. I won't be satisfied til I see boner, cruz, mcconnell, cantor, ryan, bachmann, that little twit mike lee (only claim to fame is being ted cruz's shadow, in much the same way as lindsey graham is john mccain's shadow) - any one or any combination of those fiends - come out and admit this.

I just had a thought - if I were a parental figure with any clout here, I'd say - you want it fixed? Okay. Here. Mama fix. You go over there and sit down and zip it. I will handle this.

Government opens IMMEDIATELY.
NO debt ceiling - now or EVER again. You will agree to doing away with it.
NO further sequester.
NO further obstruction in the Senate.
NO further attention paid to the teabaggers. They're a MINORITY. They have no right to swagger around like they own the place. And some of 'em haven't even been here a full year yet!

If I were really ruthless I'd throw in a couple more, but I'll be generous and stop there. This or NOTHING. Then you can go explain to the koch brothers why they're gonna lose so much money in this default and why you just had to screw them, too.

They keep talking about how government should be run like a business, and how "I raised a family, ran a business... so I know how this should be done" so okay then. Here's a microcosm for you, since you like boiling it down that simplistically: I'm a mom. My teenager just crashed our car - in a wanton, deliberate, and "nobody is the boss of me" recklessness. Why then should he/she be entitled to continued driving privileges, OR, assuming we can afford to replace the wreck, to be handed the new set of keys? I'd put it to each of those CONS and baggers - "you raising your kid that way?"

[stage left]

101. Thanks Calimary

I like all of your NO list. A nice addition would be NO Teabaggers, but I'll take no Lindsey Graham for a start.

62. Spoken with the conviction of a senator running for re-election next year

Do you suppose the electorate of South Carolina will have any memory of this event in 12 months? I think it depends very much on what happens in the next 72 hours.

[llmart]

84. Have you ever been to South Carolina?

I'm just asking here, because I have and lived close enough to it to know that they probably don't feel the same way as you or I do about Lindsey Graham. They probably think he's a hero.

[stage left]

102. I think Lindsey Graham is a scuzbucket.

I live in South Carolina and I will definitely remember this crap.

[TheKentuckian]

63. Country before party, Lindsey.

You odious turd.

[treestar]

65. Republicans are all about personal responsibility and the

consequences of your actions - until it's them.

[renate]

79. Exactly!

How do they not choke on the hypocrisy?

[Volaris]

100. Thye've had lots of practice.

And each time, the hypocrisy just gets a little bit bigger. By the time Ted Cruz runs for President, they will be able to sell video of that skill on the Inter-tubes for extra campaign cash.

Never responsible for their own actions. Whatta buch of whiny Losers.

70. Ah, so it's the Dems who made them keep digging -- behold the rhetorical genius of Lindsey Graham!

[RushIsRot]

71. NOTHING is quite so painful as 20-20 hindsight.

[Dollysmom]

72. Oh, sure Republicans would give a little

"for the good of the country"--are you effin' kidding me??? They are NOW willing to let the country crash and burn, but they would be "merciful" if the shoe were on the other foot? Bullshit.

[DFW]

73. Oh, did you really?

You killed the baby with an icepick before throwing it out with the bath water,
and now you want to see a pediatrician about treatment?

No wonder Republicans don't know shit about health care.

[mgardener]

74. Let me think.

NO.
The last party to shut the federal government down was the republicans. And you are doing it again because you can't get your own way. AGAIN

You got into bed with the right wing crazies and you thought everything was going to be OK?
You got the votes that you wanted out of them and you did not think they would turn on you?
Many of them are crazy and you are to scared to do what is right and stand up to them.
Instead you will crash and burn with them.

I would rather stand up and lose my seat then to be associated with their madness.

You mean this turdblossom from SC is spurting again? Let's all remember his vitriol for the trumped up "impeachment" (and I say trumped because it was wholly manufactured by the rupukes) of President Clinton. Gee, I guess you gave a little then, huh? How in hell does a truly messed up sociopath like this get into the US senate? I listen to nothing he spurts as should no one. And oh, Lindsey. You want us to to give a little?.....convince your repuke brethren in the house to call for a CR vote. For ONCE, do SOMETHING for the good of the country. I can't stomach the self-serving hypocrisy of these ass hats!!!!

[cui bono]

when you're the moronic assfucks who aren't giving shit right now you stupid fuck.
