South Carolina Senator Lindsay Graham is about as moderate as a conservative southern Republican is likely to get. He was an early supporter of John McCain in 2000, back when McCain hadn't yet sold his soul to the wacko extremists. He has shown an inclination, however modest, to work with Obama and the Democrats on a few issues, most notably on climate change and sadly on immigration "reform", read amnesty for illegals.
This week, he bemoaned the lack of "Reagan" Republicans.
Well I remember Reagan. I suffered through every day of the seeming 8-year prison sentence that was the Reagan regime, and I wonder who the hell Lindsay is talking about.
Could he mean a Repub who would open his presidential campaign croaking about 'states rights' in Philadelphia Mississippi, where 4 civil rights workers were murdered?
Could he mean someone who fabricated events that never happened based on Hollywood B-movie scripts, and then apparently believed the stories himself?
Could he mean someone who publicly disdained a scientific explanation for organic evolution?
Could he mean someone who by his own admission violated the law during Iran-Contra, and as such should have been impeached, removed from office and imprisoned?
Could he have in mind someone who never met a "defense" (read war) dollar he didn't like, and caused the deaths of thousands of innocent persons in Central America by subversive CIA activity?
Could he mean someone who used incendiary language to incite racial animosity, referring to "welfare queens" driving to the welfare office in Cadillacs to collect their checks?
Could he mean someone who wasted hundreds of billions of dollars on a "Star Wars" program that his own physicists said couldn't work, while decrying spending pennies on social welfare programs?
Could he mean someone who would nominate the most unqualified Neanderthals to the Supreme Court?
Could he mean someone whose wife relied on astrology to guide her life, and pressed the same guidance on him?
If this is who Lindsay Graham is looking for, I hope to Christ he never finds him or her. But could he have the lovely Sarah in mind, the half-term "governor" of Alaska?
