Specter defection highlights GOP divide in South Carolina

From CNN Political Producer Peter Hamby


Lindsey Graham differs with his fellow South Carolina Republican Jim DeMint on how the GOP should move ahead.

WASHINGTON (CNN) – In the wake of Arlen Specter's defection to the Democratic caucus, Republicans are primed for yet another round of soul-searching and intra-party sniping about the GOP's future. That debate might be best illustrated in South Carolina, where the state's two Republican senators are sharply split on how the party should move forward.

In one corner is Sen. Jim DeMint, perhaps the most conservative member of the upper chamber. In a speech to party activists last fall, DeMint became the first Republican to publicly blast John McCain after he lost the presidential election, accusing the Arizona senator of betraying core GOP principles in his quest for the White House. ..........more at: http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/04/28/specter-defection-highlights-gop-divide-in-south-carolina/

Now for the:dunce: idiocy:


Flimsey Tinkerbelle is so predictable and so disgusting.

Y’know what ? That little $hitstain Graham should join Lex Luthor and jump on over, too. I was proud to have endorsed his DINO opponent last year because I knew what a cancer he is in the GOP. The DINO was more Conservative than he is.

If any member of the GOP needs a serious beat-down it’s this fool Graham.

Let’s get rid of this useless RINO as well.

I have absolutely no use for a boot licking little prick like him either.

I've donned my apron and grabbed my dust mop and cloth - I'm ready to do a little bit of "housecleaning."
Just for fun, I'm also picking up some moth balls, rat poison and treatment for ants, silverfish and roach motels.

Whatever it takes to clean out the GOP, let's get with it!

Jim DeMint, whose impending endorsement of Toomey might have pushed Specter over the edge, “I would rather have 30 Republicans in the Senate who really believe in principles of limited government, free markets, free people, than to have 60 that don’t have a set of beliefs.”

I assume tomorrow we will see polls on who his dem challenger was in the last election and how he compares against him.

“I would rather have 30 Republicans in the Senate who really believe in principles of limited government, free markets, free people, than to have 60 that don’t have a set of beliefs.”

Are you kidding me???

1st off, Toomey won’t win a general election. With that fool Specter out, more qualified Republicans will jump in that DO have a shot at winning.

Second, looks like DeMint is clueless with his quote. You can have a nice little group of people who believe as they should, as he indicates. HOWEVER, only 30 of those in the Senate will allow Dems free reign to push for their communist agenda.

I would rather have a guy that agrees with me 6 times out of 10 than a Dem who will cut I and my country’s throat in a power grab.

At least then, you have the numbers to hold leadership positions, majority, and as a result, say over who has what legislation go to the floor. Then, that gutless moderate(lil Lindsay)will have not choice but to follow the Conservative Republican.

It IS a numbers game.

Specter, well, that’s no loss. But now Lindsay is nervous. His comments today show that. Time to manage him and pressure him. But it is not time to run him off.

4. My how quickly those slimeballs turn on each other!

Wasn't Graham one of the leading voices for impeachment against Pres. Clinton? Were those nut jobs actively rooting against Graham at that time?

I know there are many far worse right wing extremists than Graham and he has moderated his views somewhat in the past dozen years. Still, I'm hoping he doesn't defect as I simply don't trust him.
