Lindsey The Part Time Liberal
Author: Michael Kraft
Here is a snippet that we could have stated better from the Carnesforsenate.blogspot.com official blog outlining the liberal actions of Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.
This is an example of why we wind out Lindsey Graham countdown clock every morning when we get up out of bed.
This is also a reminder of why we can and will never vote for John McCain. South Carolina has a primary coming up soon and can use it to let McCain and Graham know how we do not forget being betrayed or being called biggots by our own representatives.
Let us not support McCain as he turns his back on us in favor of illegal immigration, and let this being the warning shot across the bow of Lindsey Graham.
“…..the problem with Lindsey Graham’s representation of South Carolina.
He is a conservative part time. He argues from a conservative viewpoint and he attempts to accomplish conservative policy…. sometimes. But he is also a liberal.. part time. He argues from the viewpoint of a liberal and applies as much energy in accomplishing the liberal positions and policies as he ever does for the conservative. He works against our values. This is why he moves to name calling and making petty threats about the state not receiving the next Post Office they desire etc..
In this duplicity of personality, this dual representation he causes the conservative values to suffer more than he causes our values to prosper.
Lindsey plays the political game; he professes one position and argues against it in Congress. It is like the argument for Amnesty of 30 million illegal aliens where he came out to a news conference and adamantly declared “This is Not Amnesty !” only to have to recant those shallow and false words later when he himself admitted the policies he proposed were in fact Amnesty.
Lindsey knows that most South Carolinians are busy with their lives and do not take the time to watch or guard the policies of our Senators. We shouldn’t have to. We should be able to depend on their political integrity and trust them to represent us as they promised and with the values they professed to hold.
Lindsey prides himself on being rated a 90% conservative and when we examine his record we find that he voted with the liberal party and argued from a liberal perspective 13% of the time during the last 2 Congressional sessions. He is as liberal in those times as is the well known liberal Senator from Massachusetts, Ted Kennedy. Lindsey votes in agreement with Ted Kennedy when he is voting from his liberal personality. In fact as you review his record, you will find times where even Ted Kennedy voted for conservative values when it came to security and citizen protections. Kennedy voted with the Republican party in some critical areas where you would expect a Conservative Senator to be champion of the cause but Lindsey was found voting against the Republican party, against conservative values and more liberal in his stand than Kennedy.
One prime example of this was when the bill came before Congress which would have increased cargo container inspections at the point of origin and would have required 100% inspection for nuclear materials to prevent a terrorist group from using our shipping cargo containers for the purpose of shipping in a dirty bomb or the radioactive material to be used in a dirty bomb. We all know this is an area of risk and the 9/11 commission even called on us to tighten this area of vulnerability. The republicans in majority voted for this protection, the democrats in majority voted for this protection but Lindsey voted against it.
Similarly when the opportunity to protect American citizens from being sued when they in good faith reported suspicious activities. Ted Kennedy voted with the majority of Republicans and Democrats to offer this protection to the American citizen but Lindsey voted against.
Hypocrisy ? Liberal ? You Decide… ”
