That would be Senator McCain and Senator Lindsey Graham.
They each make grandstand plays, issue strongly worded statements aimed at bolstering their “conservative” credentials…then, quietly cave just to demonstrate their willingness to be “reasonable” and to “reach across the aisle”.
Recall that Sen. McCain deplored the fact that Chuck Hagel was “unqualified’ for the job of Defense Secretary. He quickly declared to all ,however, that he would not support a filibuster to prevent this incompetent from being confirmed. Then, of course, knowing his moderate credentials were secure with the NY Times and knowing his vote would be meaningless, he voted against Hagel’s confirmation. And finally, just to assure us that he is solidly on both sides of every issue, he magnanimously conceded that the President, apparently no matter how incompetent or destructive a nominee might be, has the right to his ‘choices”. Look out folks! When Dennis Rodman’s name comes up as Special Envoy to North Korea, we can count solidly on the Senator’s expressions of extreme dismay.
Then we come to Senator Graham. Lindsey was very adamant that he would block the confirmation of John Brennan until he got answers to his questions regarding Benghazi. Well, maybe not so much.No answers have been forthcoming. While Senator Paul at least temporarily blocked Brennan’s confirmation, standing strong on principles he believes in, Senator Graham …what is he doing exactly?
Maybe conservatives should be concerned that “B & B’ is the Karl Rove ticket in 2016. DLH
McLame and Grahamnasty are just doing what they normally do today, defend the old guard of the Republican Party that is so repulsive to millions of Americans by slapping down the new guard who has the support of millions of Americans. Can’t let young guys like Rand, Mike Lee and Ted Cruz actually gain support for the party by defending liberty and the constitution!
#StandWithRand was the number one trend on Twitter in the world for over 24 hours and polls show he has over 80% support on this issue. Yet McLame and Grahamnasty are standing on the Senate floor insulting him today. McLame actually said this stunt by Rand isn’t helpful to America! WTF
