Lindsey Graham question

[FlightRN]

Has he always been a flip-flopping fish?

First he says he wants to "know more about President Trumps business dealings," and tonight he was on Faux News basically saying Trump should not let Comey testify.
WTH...I'd like to smack him. What say ye DU, I'm unfamiliar with his history? Ty

1. Pretty much.

Just when you think he might have grown a spine, he folds like a cheap lawn chair and goes back to fellating the current GOP president or candidate - much like "maverick" John McCain.

5. Thanks VO

I keep hearing on the MSM that Graham and McCain are going to be the two who put morals and Country over party and sadly I had a wee bit of hope.

Stupid me.

11. Glad you got that hope

put into perspective. The only way they will put country over party is, well never.

2. Pretty much

He used to have more backbone but, in the past several years he gotten very flippy.
Some has to do with fear of being outed if he is gay.
He is from S. Carolina
Ruby red state
he fears being more marginalized, as his buddy McCain, if he pushes too much

that is what I think

[FlightRN]

7. Oh...

That's why I've seen the memes of Graham by Republicans on social media. That's a damn shame.

22. I don't think there's any real 'if' involved ...

He may not be 'actively' gay due to his likely deep-seated repression, but there's little chance in my mind he's not attracted to men. Few people set off my gaydar (or is that an un-PC term nowadays ... if so, sorry) like Lindsey.

I'd say 'there's nothing wrong with that', but to my thinking there is something at least a little bit 'wrong' about being a closeted gay republican politician who votes GOP party-line at all times. Not because of the being gay part, of course.

We could really use him and McCain crossing the aisle right about now though is the truth, along with Susan Collins. Getting us back control of the Senate before 2018 ... would be pretty huge.

3. Party over Country.

Little Lindsey is no stranger to Impeachment and he well knows how the gamesmanship is played. Next will be Newt running off his mouth.

4. Lindsey & McCain are Flip-Flop Tag Team partners...they take turns hopping from one side of the

Fence to the other....

10. He's in the wrong party

If he jumped ship and party, he'd have supporters and a lovely liberal partner. Too bad for him.

16. HA!! YEP!!

Not that there's anything wrong with that!!

At ALL, if You are open & HONEST.
Hypocrites attract negative crap.
It's a Karma thang.

I love me some KARMA!

[NRaleighLiberal]

12. always infuriating. just like McCain and Collins - they tease but never deliver

[Solly Mack]

13. Graham likes to appear as if he's above it all and doing the right thing.

But it's all a sham. He's a typical republican and all that implies.

[Kingofalldems]

14. Him and McCain are total BSers.

[FlightRN]

15. Thanks all

I will swallow my hope that any of the GOP will do the right thing.
