Graham on McCain: ABC 10/26/08

Lindsey Graham on John McCain
"This Week" 10:08am
Interview

TOPIC: Palin, McCain, Obama

TRANSCRIPT: [...]GRAHAM: THe Independent voter will decide the election and Senator Obama doesn't show much independence when it comes to saying no to the democratic leadership, since he's been in congress. His budgets increase spending, they increase taxes and all Americans, Republicans, Democrats and Independents generally don't like the idea of having taxes increased on anyone in a weak economy, or making Washington larger, so we have to make our case to the Independent voter that John McCain is truly an Independent, stood up to his own party, will keep your taxes low and reign Washington spending in and I think that's the winning message for us- now's not the time to raise taxes or increase spending.

[...]

STEPHANOPOULOS: (Emanuel) says the democrats are going to be the reform party, they're not gonna run wild.

GRAHAM: People haven't gotten that memo yet. The Congress is below Bush if you believe it or not, the Congress is broken and everybody who watches understands that it's broken, and if you want to look at where our democratic friends will take the congress, look at their budget. They've passed two budgets with Democratic votes that spend more than President Bush does, and would take the tax cuts that expire in 2011, take 'em off the table and tax people that make $42,000. If you want to know where this country's headed under democratic control, just look at the budgets they've already passed, and look at the proposals of Senator Obama, $880 billion of new spending, and increasing taxes. Yesterday there was an ad out that said, if you make $200,000 you won's see any tax increases. The week before it was 250, at the end of the day, the democratic congress is at 9% for a reason and the Republican Party is in the toilet for a reason. None of us have done a very good job, John McCain is an antidote to a broken congress- democrat and republican, he stood up to both sides, he will bring balance to Washington on taxes and spending, that you haven't seen from either party, that's why we need him.

At 4:57 - 5:07 look at the smug look of Graham and that fake, plastic smile that is becoming the trademark of the Republican Party.

You notice also that Graham will not address the fact that Clinton took a huge defict and turned it into a Surplus.

Is it any wonder that Republicans like myself have fallen away from this party with characters like this guy and many others.

I can't wait until the election is over, I'm sick of the back and forth BS between the elephants and the asses.
