I know! Isn't it wonderful, Lindsey.!!

@LindseyGrahamSC

Joe Biden is trying to be the most progressive president since FDR.

Biden is trying to be the progressive president that Obama was afraid to be!

1. I was trying to read between the lines there,

figuring out where he was coming from. All I could think of was brown-nosing.

Grab the popcorn, folks!

[live love laugh]

7. I see it as a divisive tactic ... we don't have to choose, both were great. Dems ARE

pretty much. That’s why they HATE us.

[Rhiannon12866]

17. He's trying to "insult" both presidents in that statement, trying to trigger anti-Progressives

[Tommymac]

36. Divide and Conquer - peel off the Conservative Dems.

Same old story.

[msfiddlestix]

39. In all my life I have never heard any Democrat speak ill of FDR

In fact, with the exception of John Bircher's I had never anyone of either party speak in any negative way of FDR.

Only very extreme right wingers as mentioned, I didn't consider them mainstream thought.

Of course not until now. Lindsey speaking as if this were a bad a thing. Seriously bizarre turn of events.

[Tommymac]

46. I've heard LOTS of Rethuglicans dis FDR over the years. They hate him like we hate Raygun.

I'm talking since the 1960's.

FDR is not well liked among the rethuglican base or powers that be.

Not just the kooks.

AS far as Dems, I've talked to a very few conservative Democrats who tell me they are Dems (really doubt it - they are libertarian if anything) but literally BLAST FDR's policies. These are mostly Union Dems - go figure.

[msfiddlestix]

47. Well, I guess I was always surrounded by very strong pro-FDR folks, even Conservatives

But yeah, I do realize the John Birch then Rush Limpball influenced and drummed up hate for him over the years.

But Union people?? Seriously effed up.

[UpInArms]

2. He says that like it's a bad thing

What a tool

[Escurumbele]

10. He may not...it just may be a jab at Obama, but no, it actually sounds good.

[whathehell]

24. FDR: Elected to Four terms, ranked 3rd Greatest President in

American history....I'll take it, Lindsey!

[LT Barclay]

29. Just out of curiosity who's ranked 1 and 2?

I go back and forth based on my criteria which is "who faced the greatest challenges and who best met them."
To me there were 3 that faced events that could have ended our country and/or radically altered the world in a bad way.
Which leaves Washington, Lincoln and FDR. Currently I'm leaning FDR.

[whathehell]

34. Abraham Lincoln and George Washington, though

as you'll see at the link, some rank FDR as the second, not third, greatest president.

[PatSeg]

43. Yes, he unwittingly told the truth

and it wasn't the bombshell he'd expected it to be. Oops!

[Haggard Celine]

3. Because to radical RWers, FDR, was an evil socialist!

But really, only John Birchers are nutty enough to say things like that. The John Birch Society, the Federalist Society, the Heritage Foundation, all those are supposed to be loyal, pure Americans like Lindsey, but there's something wrong with FDR. That gives you a glimpse of Lindsey's twisted soul.

[Escurumbele]

9. Theodore Roosevelt was a true progressive, and he was republican.

Two of the best presidents this country has had, FDR and Teddy Roosevelt, both progressives.

[LT Barclay]

14. Funny thing about that is that conservatives can't remember what happened a week ago, they rely on

FOX for their daily talking points because whatever was "good" when Trump, Bush, etc. were president is now "bad" when a Democrat does the same thing (the ACA was apparently the same thing that was passed in MA).
So I doubt if they even remember FDR.
And if they want to bring him up, my new "sound bite" is that for defense, I'll stick with the party of the president who won WW2, when was the last time a Republican won a war?
And If I'm concerned about the economy, I'll stick with the guy who got us out of the great depression.
And if they persist about the war thing, and its a southerner, I'll ask them why they hooked up with the party of the president who kicked their butt.

[Haggard Celine]

18. Those are all excellent points,

especially the one about Republicans not winning wars. They might come to a stalemate sometimes, but they don't really win. And that's where Republicans are supposed to excel, with their bellicose rhetoric and their bloated military budgets. The only thing they can really ever do is tax cuts, mainly for the wealthy, and they're also good at cutting essential services for the public, especially the most needy, vulnerable people. That's all they know how to do. Why can't more people see this?

[KS Toronado]

35. " when was the last time a Republican won a war?"

Rs love to start wars and will do everything in their power to keep them going to reward the
Military Industrial Complex with more profits, since they're their biggest donors.

[LT Barclay]

44. If I remember correctly it was McKinley and the Spanish-American War

But that was not one to brag about because according to James Bradley it was just the US trying to join the imperialism game
Your statement is correct. L Fletcher Prouty, Smedley Butler and others really exposed that ugly secret.

[Permanut]

23. Rush Limbaugh liked to trash FDR..

Said "FDR's dead, and we want to make sure all his programs are as well".

Paraphrasing,

[Haggard Celine]

25. Aha! That must be what this is about.

They follow Limbaugh's every word, and if he hated FDR, then so do they. There's probably a bunch of them who have his old shows recorded and they sit around and cry while they nod their heads.

[Progressive Jones]

30. They do. His show has a new host, and it's an ongoing eulogy from host and callers. nt

[Marcuse]

42. Why don't they seance Rush instead of JFK or JFK, Jr.?

[doc03]

4. Lindsey Graham, I haven't heard that name in months nt

[bdamomma]

21. me either

the Matt Gaetz's, Marjorie Taylor Green and the other troll Boebert are the new scum.

[CentralMass]

5. ...

[geardaddy]

12. I love this so much!

[Progressive Jones]

31. LMAO !!! nt

[William Seger]

45. Very crude humor...

... make me LMAO.

[NurseJackie]

6. Lindsey Graham is such a phony baloney! Nobody believes that "Southern Gentleman" bullshit...

... with his click-clack patent leather shoes stomping all the way down the marble-floor corridors of the Capitol building. He's having another tantrum.

[Escurumbele]

8. Is he brown-nosing to Biden because Biden doesn't want him as a friend anymore, or does he think

he is being sarcastic? Or...he just wanted to take a jab at Obama?

Lindsey, what a little man you are, and it is not because your height, it is because of your character, your lack of principles and morals, and because you have no dignity. Go and smell trump's butt.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

11. He says it like he thinks it's a bad thing. . . . . nt

[tavernier]

13. Yay Lindsey!

Finally got your conscience on?

[FakeNoose]

15. Yes Lindsey, we know

It wasn't that Obama was "afraid" to be progressive. It was that the Senate Repukes made it impossible.

[ZonkerHarris]

16. Three more terms!

[bdamomma]

19. Something

Lindsay doesn't know anything about being progressive.

[dsp3000]

22. Obama couldn't be more progressive than he was, simply because of his color

Can you imagine the uproar from whites if he came out guns blazing like Biden did, about racial justice and criminal reform? Or about all the handouts to his welfare queens if he came out with the BBB plan?


Still the greatest president in my lifetime. Hopefully Biden tops him

[padah513]

40. +1000

[ShazamIam]

26. The President that the day after he was inaugurated the Republican Senate and House Leaders and

some other Republicans stood on the steps of the Capital and swore they would stop that president and that House and the Senate from passing anything. But we did get a national health plan for the first time since Reagan closed all the county hospitals and clinics back in the 1980s, by pulling their federal funding.

[DownriverDem]

27. Folks need to

see Biden for the good man he is who is trying to help us. They need to trust him. They need to see the repubs for who they are. They don't want Biden/Dems to get legislative wins. They don't care if it hurts the country. They disgust me on so many levels

[ecstatic]

28. That's PRESIDENT Joe Biden and PRESIDENT Obama,

asshole.

[DFW]

32. Yes, Lindsey

Barack Obama was cautious and deliberative. If you would turn off Fox Noise and pick up a dictionary, you would even find that he was “conservative.” You can hijack the word, but you can’t hijack its true definition.

[GoodRaisin]

33. He's not trying Lindsey.

He's doing it.

[IronLionZion]

37. Sweet! The most popular president of the last century

It takes an FDR style president to rebuild America after Trump and COVID.

[lagomorph777]

38. Wow, has Graham cracked?

Is he switching sides?

Whatever, the endorsement is much appreciated.

[Autumn]

41. It's my deepest hope that Biden succeeds at both of those goals.

For the sake of the American people and the entire world.



Fuck Lindsey Graham and all his little cohorts too.
