1. Senator Slime ..........

[timdog44]

5. Describes so many of them

hard to know who is who.

[oldandhappy]

2. Yes, we know.

Continuing the pattern. Sweetie, do you ever say anything nice??

[DhhD]

3. House of Representatives is in control of spending. So Obama will wait for the House.

I hope President Obama makes the voting record of Congressional members very public. Congress needs to be spotlighted. Americans are going to pay attention as the 2012 election did not stop the TEA on the carpet obstructionism. Our next chance to clean off the Carpet will be in the 2014 elections.

[AlbertCat]

10. House of Representatives is in control of spending

Yes it is. Do Repugs in government even know anything about their government?

Is this GOP Congress gonna DO anything? Anything at all?

The 1st cuts should be the pay to Congress critters and Senators who don't participate in governing.... which would be all the conservatives.

[AAO]

29. That browninsh liquiid was NOT tea. Just tellin ya.

[Blue Palasky]

4. i have ill will towards this man...

nothing but hatred coming from me

[HangOnKids]

6. Creepy Nasty Fuck

Lil Lindsey is stupid and creepy. Who the fuck votes for this assbag?

[Chellee]

32. Equally creepy nasty fucks.

Who else?

The base isn't any better than the leadership. Stupid, racist assholes... the lot.

[vduhr]

7. "...but every decision he'll make, we'll criticize."

So what else is new?

[freshwest]

23. What's his online screen name?

[AAO]

30. Huckleberry Hound?

[freshwest]

31. Could be. Sweet little face there. I'd rather have a dog take his job, though.

[Enrique]

8. and Graham is criticizing that strategy

he's playing good cop with Obama, hoping to get a grand bargain like the one the GOP passed on in 2011. It's up to Obama whether he gets it.

[Renew Deal]

13. I think this is a great idea

Give Obama the power to do what he wants and criticize him. Obama still gets to do what he wants. Brilliant!

[angry citizen]

18. Start with the red states.

I would find what federal money I could cut from South Carolina.

[WhoIsNumberNone]

9. They criticized him for not putting ketchup on a hamburger.

[Initech]

11. Why don't we cut $85 billion from our bloated defense and military?

We gave them blank checks after 9/11 and they've done essentially nothing with the money (other than fight two unnecessary wars) but sit on it and let it collect interest. Time to cut the cord!

[Renew Deal]

12. Best...Idea...Ever!

lol

[City Lights]

14. I have despised this putz from the first time

I was exposed to his bullshit when he was a House Manager during the GOP's Clinton witch hunt.

[lark]

15. Great, thank you!!

If it's something you really hate, it must be good for the country! Come on, let's see you do this, we double dog dare you.

[thesquanderer]

16. Anyone have a link to the CNN clip? (n/t)

[Spitfire of ATJ]

20. Found it...

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2013/02/25/video-sen-graham-on-spending-cuts-and-immigration/

What's funny is this popped up too:

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2013/02/20/graham-insists-he-did-not-reveal-classified-drone-info/

[thesquanderer]

22. Thank you. Turns out this entire post is misleading! Taken out of context.

Check it at 4:24. Blitzer asks, why not just let the President choose what to cut? Graham says, essentially, that's a bad idea. HE calls it a cop-out, and explains what would happen... saying that, IF that were to happen, "we" (the Republicans) will criticize everything he does, and he's using that to explain why he thinks Blitzer's suggestion of letting the President choose is a bad idea. Instead, he says, it is a bipartisan problem to solve, rather than being something to tell the President to do himself.

He's being honest in explaining what would happen, and he's also saying that he thinks, as a result, that's a bad way to go. That is very different form the impression given by the quote alone.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

25. Admitting they would criticize it regardless is the point.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

17. Someone forgot to tell Lindsey that part of the plan was supposed to be a secret....

The idiot thought it was so clever he bragged about it.

Real "Trilateral Commission" material ya got there....

[kitt6]

19. Girls gone wild.

[underpants]

40. Pffffffffffft

spot on kitt

[cilla4progress]

21. No problem for Mr. O!

He will do just fine at it. In part, because he has the American people behind him. He speaks intelligently to us, and knows we understand sacrifices have to be made. And he knows where to make them! I would be happy for it to be handed over to him, and I think he will, too!

[AndyA]

24. Those in Congress like Lindsay Graham should have their butts kicked out of the country

Playing games with the economy, lying, allowing American citizens to suffer who they've taken an oath to serve. It's all a game to them, but it's NOT a game, they're screwing with people's lives.

This is economic terrorism, worse than anything OBL has done to the country. How many people have died because of this? No access to affordable health care, a minimum wage that forces people to live in poverty, cutting back on education, social services, and everything else that people in need depend on.

Every last one of them should have their sorry butts REMOVED from the country, and be banned from returning. They are disgraceful, unsympathetic, monsters. And they're proud of their behavior. The founding fathers of this country must be furious that the protections they so carefully put in place for everyone are being made a mockery of.

[ThoughtCriminal]

26. Was this quote followed by...

"Did I say that out loud?"

[Still Sensible]

27. He's coming up for reelection and "Obama-hatred" is

a requirement on the GOP side in South Carolina... as it is in my state of Oklahoma. Lack of said hatred will get a GOPer primaried. Heck, in my state the percentage of self-described democrats that can't stand President Obama is appalling.

All that said, Graham is dumb as a box of rocks to say this publicly.... but it probably won't cost him a point in South Carolina.

[Enrique]

36. except he's criticizing it

in the context this OP leaves out, he is striking a pose of compromise, in contrast to his party's intransigence, which he is posing as criticizing.

[Still Sensible]

37. I just think it's part of his positioning

so long as he spews the "I-detest-Obama" line, a little compromise is forgiven in such a state. In some states, GOP governors are [gasp] expanding Medicaid under Obamacare... but they'll still regurgitate the Obama hatred and be by and large forgiven by their folks... In states like South Carolina, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Arizona, their principles don't matter today--their blind hatred of the President does.

[AAO]

28. Any bill dealing with appropriations MUST BEGIN IN THE HOUSE, BONER!!

What a dumbass. I hope President Obama gives it to them with both barrels (figuratively speaking).

[King_Klonopin]

46. Not Obama, but Biden

"Buy a shotgun !"

It's good for shooting friends in the face.

[Bill USA]

33. the schmuck comes clean. It's a war on Obama

recommended!

[Bill USA]

34. If they pass such a bill, Obama should say he will only make cuts that the GOP agrees with

that would be the sensible way to do it anyway. Republicans have to accept responsibility for being part of the Government.

[Dryvinwhileblind]

35. The Beguiled Bengazcha Noise Boiz, Graham cracka & fake talk McCain = Bitch & Moan, any questions?

[liberalmuse]

38. I say cut the Republicans in Congress' pay and benefits.

They aren't doing jack shit.

[Amonester]

39. ^^^ THIS ^^^

Long overdue!

[Historic NY]

41. yuppers....

lets chain them to performance.

[merrily]

45. That is forbidden by the Constitution.

[ThingsGottaChange]

42. Could he look more like a woman in that pic?

GAH! Thank gosh for AdBlock!

[merrily]

44. Your country is dysfunctional for most Americans and his looks are important?

[VPStoltz]

43. Why do these people democracy - and the working class - so much?

[Ian_rd]

47. I'm not one to come to the defense of Lindsey "Benghazi" Graham but I think he might ...

... have been saying this as a criticism to the Republican maneuver of giving Obama authority of what to cut.
