Lindsey Graham Scolds Conservatives

The GOP

Mr Kumbiya himself, Lindsey Grahamensty, with his southern panties in a bunch, was out today, again refusing to listen to the heartbeat of the American people.  Oblivious to the fact the Doug Hoffman came from total obscurity to almost winning in NY23, the uber-moderate senator scolded conservatives for being, well, conservative.

From the Politico;  The morning after Republicans lost an upstate New York House seat, Sen. Lindsey Graham R-S.C. warned that conservative activists will bring destruction to the Republican Party if they drive out moderate candidates across the country.“To those people who are pursuing purity, you’ll become a club not a party,” Graham told POLITICO in the Capitol Wednesday. “Those people who are trying to embrace conservatism in a thoughtful way that fits the region and the state and the district are going to do well. Conservatism is an asset. Blind ideology is not.”

The senator gets it right on one point;  Conservatism is an asset.  But in the very next sentence, he gets is totally wrong with his comment referring to blind ideology. Senator Graham, no one is blinded here.  If anything, it is the exact opposite.  The American people have finally opened their eyes and are now fully cognisant to the fact that you and the rest of your moderate cronies are the ones responsible for the the GOP’s loss of the White House, the Senate and the House of Representatives.

Your moderate ideology is leading to the destruction of the American way of life. Your moderate agenda is permitting the continued attack on the free enterprise system.  Your unwillingness to listen to these now-outspoken Americans and to the message they send on election day is the reason voters passed on DeDe after you and the GOP gave almost $1 million to her campaign.

Blind ideology? Let us look at what your blind ideology has achieved.

Rush gives us the Top Ten Republican Moderate Moments.

• Number ten: Newt Gingrich does a PSA on global warming with Nancy Pelosi in 2008.
• Number nine: Bush-Quayle ’92.
• Number eight: Dole-Kemp ’96.
• Number seven : Ford-Dole ’76.
• Number six: Jumpin’ Jim Jeffords jumps from the Republican Party.
• Number five: Arlen Specter switches parties.
• Number four: Richard Nixon resigns in disgrace.
• Number three: Dede Scozzafava endorses the Democrat, Owens, in New York-23.
• Number two: The McCain campaign of 2008.
• The number one top ten moderate moment in Republican history: Colin Powell endorsing Barack Obama, the Democrat, for president in 2008!

You tell me who’s blind, senator! The American people, we love our sports; baseball, football, basketball and the rest. And we do know how to keep score.  We are looking at the political scoreboard and see that you continue to chalk up loss after loss after loss. When our favorite sports team continues to put up a losing season, the front office does not get mad and yell at the players [well, maybe T.O.].  No, the front office looks at the coaching staff and replaces the staff.  And that is exactly what the American people are doing all across America right now.

Now I ask you Senator, just who is blind here?
