Grahamnesty’s Support Collapsing
I hope this will convince Lindsey Graham to end his insane support of Cap-and-Tax:
U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham’s public support is collapsing in South Carolina – driven by a wholesale revolt among the GOP electorate and a steady erosion of his support amongst independents.
Already consistently loathed by a solid third of GOP voters, Graham’s recent leftward bent – including his co-authoring of a controversial “Cap & Tax” proposal supported by President Barack Obama and liberal Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) – has him locked in a “terminal free fall,” according one prominent Republican consultant.
“A chunk of the GOP has always detested him, but in the last month a damn has broken,” said the consultant, who was granted anonymity to discuss the impact of two recent polls that were conducted in South Carolina (one allegedly by Graham’s own advisors). “More Republicans now oppose Sen. Graham than support him. Independents are also deserting him in huge numbers.”
Even more troubling for Graham is there doesn’t seem to be a way out of the box. In fact, both polls reportedly showed that the more the national liberal establishment and local environmentalists rally to Graham’s defense, the worse things get for him.

It’s ironic that he has run twice now as a “staunch conservative”. I will grant that he has always taken the right side on the issue of the war and national security, but he is a far left liberal on every other issue.
If he follows the example of his liberal friends though, he will ignore what is happening under the assumption that we’re too stupid to remember that he betrayed us when he’s next up for election in 4 1/2 years.
