Guess what Graham...Americans don't like your "tone." It is just false to suggest that the speech was "combative." Yes he showed strength, but he also reached out to Republicans in the speech despite all indications that the GOP has no interest in helping Obama, ever. Also he lied when he said Dems had 60 votes. Kennedy is dead and Byrd is sick. Also, the GOP had no problem with reconciliation when it was the majority party in the past. They rammed Bush tax cuts through so don't cry now.
Lindsey Graham is another republic party member hypocrite. Complains about $900 billion over ten years, yet he voted for the roughly $800 billion dollar giveaway to the drug companies during the Bush adminstration that WASN'T PAID FOR. This is a prime example of why any reasonable American must consider the republic party as a turd on the political landscape.
I for one have met Senator Lindsey Gram and have caddied for him at Kiawah Island, SC. He is not a bad person but judged by those who have issues with race themselves.
You caddied for Graham. I don't know if I would be quick to admit that. Next time you caddie for him, why don't you ask him about his hypocrisy. How he's in bed with big pharma and insurance co's. Don't get me wrong, he's not the only one. There are bad seeds on both sides. This is why nothing constructive that helps people ever gets done in Washington. Were just as corrupt as some third world countries.
WOW!!! I can't believe some of the statements that were made here. Where in the world does name calling, fawl language, and calling out the race card come into making sure America is taken care of? See here is the problem. When those who claim that they have been victims of race and then turn to do the exact same thing, you are no better than those who a long time ago did these things. Move forward and find a solution.
I say we build the plan ourselves. This is an issue that requires public involvement. I believe the best plan is for the people to elect a group of individuals who work directly with and for us, the people. Then we can poll the public and take public suggestions and build our own plan and then hand it to our government and say, here put this into effect. The truth of the matter is, we cannot trust either side so it must be the people who vote and design this package or nothing!
Graham is by nature a complete idiot, bought and sold by corporations. He is an embarrassment to the U.S. and should resign in shame and save us from another year of Republican lunacy.
This guy is a fruitcake....typical lying right wing talking head who...is bought and owned by very large financial interests....they don't support education, they don't support health care reform that is meaningful...they keep their constituents stupid and mad or frightened all the time....it is really a disgusting sight
He said this with a straight face. After the right called his plan "Obamacare", said it included "death panels", that it was a government takeover of health care, that Obama was a Nazi...Socialist...Communist....Fascist, bring loaded weapons to town halls, shout down any form of real debate, Lindsey Graham says the Prez was combative, demagogic, unfair.
How can anybody believe these divisive twerps spewing this tripe?
he seems to want to push the escalation of health-care costs on to the business sector, this along with nafta is the biggest cause of the abandonment of the manufacturing base the private sector has undertaken, every other industriaized nation has universal single healthcare, nafta makes it a no brainer to move to mexico where they can pay the workers 7 dollars an hour. exactly whose side is lindsay graham on anyway, they dont ever ask why is healthcare 1/6th of our econemy?
our government has proven to be malevolent when it comes to the universal care we do have with the military and the poor. NAFTA/GATT was the biggest betrayal of labor from its ally, the democrats. the donkeys prove how worthless and spineless they are year after year. the gov't should front the money for a state to state co op where the states compete with each other and the private sector. but then again, they dont think we deserve our own money, only wall street does
Lindsey Graham = graveyard politics.

Obama should resign. He's caused so much of a divisive climate that he can not be the one to reunite us.

Graham by nature is a closet homosexual. Also by nature, he is a leming like the rest of the gop. What a shame that we should have this gov't .

Obama is just out to INCREASE unemployment and our DEBT.
Obama is out to DIVIDE not UNITE.
It IS all about Obama!
NOT about what is BEST for America.
Obama want's to DESTROY our country so he can create a permanent NANNY state so LIBERALS will KEEP and STAY in power.

Hmmmm, gotta love short term political gain.
This guy's not worried about health care reform/Obamacare, he's worried about getting elected again. That's pretty much it.
He flips like a fish out of water. . .
