Lindsey Graham is a Progressive RINO.

The ‘57′ States that Obumbler was talking about, is the “57 Organization of Islamic Countries”!

BTW……something to really think about and Google………HAPPENING RIGHT NOW!……….

….THE UKRAINE IS UNDER MARSHALL LAW! THEY ARE HAVING ‘FORCED INOCULATIONS’ FOR ‘PNEUMONIC PLAGUE’!!
Just as in the USA…the doctors are ‘fudging’ the numbers on ‘H1N1′……..when it’s really Pneumonic..they are saying it’s a mutant of H1N1, or just calling it a disease!
The military bases are being transformed into hospitals, the victims are coming in soo fast!
this plague kills in 3 days!!!!!! Low grade fever, coughing, lungs fill with blood!!!!
Just who is responsible?? The people in the Ukraine say that ‘Chemtrails’ were spotted a few days before thousands of people got sick…..and now it has hit India!

http://fto.co.za/news/ukraine-declares-martial-law-following-pneumonic-plague-outbreak-2009110615730.html

BTW…..the US hasn’t got the shots for H1N1 for us…….but are sending millions of doses to the UN!!!!

Now that’s something!!! I have seen Rhode Island blanketed by these chemtrails, criss-crossing the sky!
and in NH too! Have you all seen them? The government is doing it to us……!

The UN investigated this …and TOLD REPORTERS AND DOCTORS ‘NOT’ TO REFER TO IT AS PNEUMONIC PLAGUE……….no need to panic people while their dying!

America…this is the same Lindsay Graham that proclaimed in the confirmation hearings of liberal Democratzi Sotomayor…”I would not have nominated her…but I will cast my vote for her”!

America…any double tongued and double minded individual can never, ever be trusted!

That includes Bilderberg Bush-Obama and the Democratzi and moderate “fence sitters” like Graham and McCain!

We will see…Lindsay…we will see…what side of the fence you are now!

But whatever side you are on this time…you are going home next time!

——————

THE REVOLUTION OF THE SILENT MAJORITY HAS BEGUN – WE WILL BE SILENT NO MORE!

1. GETTING INFORMED
2. GETTING INVOLVED
3. GETTING OUT THE VOTE

DON’T TREAD ON US…WE PAY YOUR BILLS IN WASHINGTON AND IN YOUR HOMES WHERE YOU WILL ALL BE GOING STARTING THIS WEEK AND IN 2010 AND BEYOND…GUARANTEED!

IMPEACHMENT OR THE ‘ORIGINAL’ KENYAN BIRTH CERTIFICATE…IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME!

Let’s hope it DOA—our very freedom is at stake in this bill, and in the up coming Cap and Trade bill.

Right Lindsay … what you mean is that if the Senate cuts it down from $2Trillion to $1.9 Trillion, sprinkles in some carbon taxes, and amnesty for a few hundred thousand illegal (I mean undocumented) aliens, then you’ll feel comfortable voting for it. Just think of all those Georgetown parties you’ll be invited to … You are a CATTLE – Conservative Acceptable To The Liberal Elite

Lindsey will first the fisrt RINO to cave in!

lavoce   November 8th, 2009 - 7:18 pm

THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO REDEEM YOURSELF with “Conservatives at heart”, SENATOR GRAHAM.

DON’T ALLOW THIS BILL – written by Liberals for Liberals – to PASS – UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. PERIOD.

None of you are talking about the real intent of all the insidious hidden details of this Bill; that by it, this Administration intends to not only take over 1/6 of our economy, but prepare to hand AMERICANS, and Pelosi’s bastardized illegals, over to a one-world government.

THIS BILL IS RIDDLED WITH THE BLOOD OF OVER 50 MILLION BABIES MURDERED BY AMERICAN ABORTIONS. If it passes, Pelosi will find a way to pay for millions more, both here, and abroad.

Viet Nam, Afghanistan, and 50 million mutilated babies is enough.

GOD DON’T NEED ANYMORE BABIES, Lindsey. JOIN JOE, and TAKE ‘EM DOWN! TAKE ‘EM DOWN!

IMPEACH barry soetoro aka/alias barack hussein obama
IMPEACH joe biden
IMPEACH nancy pelosi
IMPEACH hillary clinton

IMPEACH one right after the other. Hell is not quite ready for them or they would be there by now. Strip them of their U.S. Citizenship, and send not only they, but their families, to the land they love most.

Then prepare a HEALTHCARE REFORM BILL out of LOVE for AMERICA, and our people.

TO AMERICAN TROOPS around the world – attempting to serve with the putrid stench, and dead weight, of this ignorant albatross of a commander-in-chief around your necks – may GOD – THE ONLY LIVING GOD – go before you, behind you, beside you, with you. GOD, ALONE, has become your Refuge, and your stay. HE IS ABLE. Call on HIM. In JESUS’ name. Amen.

txmike   November 8th, 2009 - 7:32 pm

I say we should just concentrate our efforts on the 2010 election. Representatives and Senators have proven that they will not listen to Americans so we should replace them with people who will listen and vote accordingly.

Mary Ann   November 8th, 2009 - 7:49 pm

Why not focus on helping reasonable democrat senators see the light? Here in Virginia I have two democrat senators, one an ex-Republican–Jim Webb–whom I’ve asked whether they are pro”choice” meaning do they support my right to keep my private Health Savings Account, and let me buy my own insurance from anywhere in the USA? Open the damn insurance market, lower litigation awards, let’s tort-reform.

BREAKING NEWS:

I dropped a $100 bill on the streets of detroit and it wasnt there when i went back to get it.

Don’t believe a word from Graham’s mouth. In weeks he will be working with the left to pass it through. Just like Cap and Tax

Conservative? Tired of faux conservatives like Graham and McCain? Want to change things.

Tea Parties are fun and exciting, but without actual participation in party politics by conservatives, nothing will change. The congresscritters could care less that you are holding a sign at a Tea Party or calling and faxing their offices. What they FEAR is a real threat in the primary by a conservative candidate who has been endorsed by the Republican Party. Who makes the endorsements? A conservative majority in the voting ranks of the Party.

Who are the voting members of the Party? Precinct committeemen. Nationwide, HALF the slots are VACANT in the Republican Party. The half that are filled are split 50-50 between moderates/liberals and conservatives. Faux conservative Michael Steele is a reflection of that split. The voting members of the Party elected him.

Want to be part of a real political revolution? Conservative? Then spend about an hour a month of your time being a precinct committeeman. Isn’t your country and liberty worth that?

The pantyhose wearing Graham will give the House bill his full support as soon as the msm accuse him of being a radical.

Dan   November 8th, 2009 - 10:21 pm

It is time to repent, AMERICA!!!

Directaction   November 8th, 2009 - 10:24 pm

This is typical of the politics of surrender, and Republicans are the masters of it. They will come up with a bill that will be totally unacceptable to the House, which will languish in a Reconciliation Committee, before a “forced” vote again in the House, which they will reject. This will allow the puppets of the ruling class to campaign and say the voted both for and against this Wealthcare bill. This will allow Democrats to return to Washington and continue the Obama Communist agenda, and Republicans to enjoy the self-serving perks that come with power.(See Quisling)

You won’t vote the Democrats out anymore than the masses of Russia could have voted out the Bolsheviks. They control the machinery of the process. The power of the voter is secondary to the power of those who make the rules and count the votes. You have a State-Run media in place now, and the tools for suppressing dissident voices spread among the Power Blocks of the State, and they are already active.

The Totalitarian Regime is here.

TELL THE SENATE TO *GET REAL* & REDO THE DAMNED THING (SEE DETAILS ENCLOSED)   November 8th, 2009 - 10:30 pm

NOW that the nonsense in the House is “finished” (for a while), let’s focus on the SENATE and FORCE them to GET SERIOUS!

It is ABSURD & RIDICULOUS to rush through something as important as our nation’s HEALTH CARE and then say THIS WON’T GO INTO EFFECT FOR ANOTHER FOUR YEARS!!?? INSTEAD, THEY SHOULD:

1. BURN ALL THE DRAFTED DOCUMENTS (SORRY, TREES, FOR YOUR SLAUGHTER!) AND START ALL OVER, AND MAKE A REALISTIC, LOGICAL & FAIR PLAN, EVEN IF IT TAKES FOUR YEARS, DAMMIT!

2. IN THE MEANTIME, EXTEND THE PRESENT MEDICAID SYSTEM TO INCLUDE THOSE FEW MILLION AMERICANS WHO CANNOT AFFORD HEALTH CARE, SO THEY WILL AT LEAST HAVE SOME *CATASTROPHIC COVERAGE* FOR NOW, WHILE THE CONGRESS HAMMERS OUT A REALISTIC PLAN.

3. LEAVE MEDICARE ALONE!

4. IMMEDIATELY ALLOW AMERICANS TO CROSS STATE LINES TO OBTAIN INSURANCE.

5. IMMEDIATELY BEGIN TORT REFORM LEGISLATION.

6. STARTING IN 2010, MAKE ALL PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS *INSURABLE* BUT PATIENT MUST PAY AN ADDITIONAL PREMIUM FOR COVERAGE. (THERE IS NO WAY THAT PRIVATE INSURERS ARE GOING TO TAKE ON A WHOLE NATION OF PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS WITHOUT THEM GETTING *HELP* WITH ADDITIONAL PREMIUMS TO COVER THEIR COSTS!! GROW UP, YOU LOONS YOU WROTE SUCH NONSENSE IN THE EXISTING BILLS!)

IF CONGRESS DID THESE SIMPLE STEPS, *WHAT MORE* DOES ANYBODY NEED?????????

WE DON’T NEED A 2000-PAGE PIECE OF CRAP RAMMED DOWN OUR THROATS. YOU COULD DO ALL THE ABOVE IN ONE OR TWO PAGES!!!

GET SERIOUS, AMERICA! DEMAND THAT THE SENATE COME UP WITH SOMETHING LIKE THE ABOVE TO REPLACE AND UNDO THE PELOSI-BULLONEY!!!

P.S. WE DON’T NEED ALL OUR MEDICAL RECORDS FED INTO SOME GIGANTIC G.E.-DATABASE! LET US MANAGE OUR OWN HEALTH RECORDS, AND GOVERNMENT, GET YOUR FRIGGIN’ NOSE OUT OF OUR PRIVATE LIVES!!!

TWO MORE THINGS.   November 8th, 2009 - 10:34 pm

P.S. Make sure any Health Care Bill that is passed DOES NOT PAY FOR ABORTIONS OR COVER ILLEGAL ALIENS! AND DON’T TRY TO GRANT AMNESTY TO EXISTING ILLEGALS TO BYPASS THAT RESTRICTION, EITHER!

People, call, write snail-mail, Fax, & email all Senators the above sentiments and any others you have about this CRAZINESS they’re trying to foist upon us American citizens & taxpayers!

RobbieK   November 8th, 2009 - 11:01 pm

I’ve already spoken with my Senator, a Democrat. Yes, Grahamnesty is 100% correct, this bill is already rotting in it’s coffin. I asked why my Senator is not in support of it and the answer I got was factual. They said “it is a waste of taxpayer money and the Senatorial election campaign is on now & the Senator wouldn’t support it if his life depended on it”. So there ya’ go.

pepito cojones   November 8th, 2009 - 11:27 pm

The dems are the most corrupt group ever. This Healthcare means a lot of payola for them under the table, and Lindsay Graham is a republican sissy, I mean really , Lindsay for a first name??? He’s a southern girly man…

Desiree   November 8th, 2009 - 11:51 pm

bill owens should be recalled and thrown out of office. This jerk broke his promise
to his constiuents with his yes vote. He only won by 4 points. I hope there is
a recall petition underway. This is what is wrong with our political system. These
vile pigs lie and cheat thier way into office, vote totally different from how they
campaigned and nothing happens to them. They should be held accountable. They are
public servants that work for us. We need to hold them accountable. Jail time is
too good for these lying traitors. People of NY23 be the first to show these liars
how they will be treated when they lie and cheat their way into office. NY23 you
were sold a bill of faulty goods. How does it feel to be duped?

Shiori   November 9th, 2009 - 12:22 am

Well, so far they put the Cap n’ Trade House Bill on the back burner…so it would appear somebody is concerned about the deep recession we’re in. We’ve got to reach fiscal accountability first and foremost – any other path is suicidal. Let liberals have their little dream world, hopefully, we’ll put the grown-ups back in charge very soon.

Puck 30   November 9th, 2009 - 4:18 am

Lindsey Graham? Oh well, I thought it would be stopped in the Senate.

H2K   November 9th, 2009 - 8:23 am

Sure Lindsey….I’m sure you’re “against” this bill in it’s current form. What will it take for you to make it acceptable? Perhaps an accounting gimmick that will hide about $100B and then you’ll vote for it? John McCain will support it – then you will? I don’t trust you one bit. When you voted for Sotomayor, I knew you were full of it… You were a JAG – and to vote for someone like Sotomayor was disgraceful.

Cleetus   November 9th, 2009 - 9:08 am

Since when does Lindsey Graham have any say in what’s going to pass and what’s not? Last time I checked, the GOP was pretty much not relevant.

Biscuit   November 9th, 2009 - 9:20 am

Lindsey Graham: the Republican version of Hillary Clinton…all yap and no spine!

P.E.   November 9th, 2009 - 9:48 am

Blah..blah..blah…He just knows if he doesn’t shape up he is not going to get re-elected. I say, when the time comes, throw him out! He is a liar.

I just wanted to pass along that I just received four responses to my letters I sent my politicians using the website http://www.Dearpolitician.org. I sent 26 in all, so it’s really nice to see such a great website produce results. I recommend everyone who writes or wants to write their politicians to do so on their site. I was most impressed with that fact that it’s free, non-partisan, and they fax your letters to all of them the same day. Great Site!

JP   November 9th, 2009 - 11:19 am

Yeh right Graham!
The fact it is even this close is because of RINOs like you!
Are drinking in all that respect your Lieral Senators are showing you?

Jay   November 9th, 2009 - 1:14 pm

good for you Cho!!..Those of you who are nothing but a bunch of name calling, tunneled visioned republicans, that is why I left the party last year, after being a registered Republican since Reagan. I didn’t voted for McCain or Obama, or the third party candidate. the political process has degenerated into nothing but a viral, divisive, name calling, garbage collecting event, and as long as Americans continue to stay divided, and believe that those Americans that don’t think like you, are out to DESTROY the country, events like the recent Al-Qaeda major that killed our troops right under our nose, will continue to happen. A Nation divided will not stand, look at history. Some of you that drink talk-show “Kool-Aid”, are some of the most uninformed individuals on the planet. Come out of your bubble, and realize that those politicians, talk show hosts, etc. that have spewed this divisiveness, are capitalizing (Pun intended) on you, you continue to get angrier, they get richer, they have become your bible, and the more the republican party continues along these lines, the less success they will have at the polls. What will destroy our country is not, liberal legislation that is passed, it can be corrected by voters, it is the moral bankruptcy that exists now. Never mind the “Good ol Days”, they were not good for many Americans, in the 1940’s Japanese Americans were imprisoned, for most of the 20th century blacks couldn’t vote, eat in the same places as whites, or use the same public restrooms, hotels, etc. So the “Good ol days” for many Americans are a misnomer. If you are an American, be an American, if you think you have all the answers, then run for office and change things. Rush, Beck, Hannity, all know that they would never win any election, that is why they “Talk”.

You didn’t vote, Jay, and you dare to accuse those of us who LOVE AMERICA enough to do so, of being responsible for events like the Ft. Hood Massacre? Your thinking is definitely askew.

Sorry, Jay… not only do you sound like a Gibbs or a czar in the W.H., you fail to mention the responsibility of the present presidential albatross our TROOPS are saddled with.

Six House Representatives cowered with “NO VOTE” Saturday night under the Pelosi/Soetoro aka Obama scam. They could have TURNED THE TIDE but are now nothing more than a putrid stench in the nostrils of those who LOVE AMERICA. They failed to educate themselves, and rally courage to stand for TRUTH and RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Over fifty-million babies have been mutilated, and murdered by AMERICAN ABORTION, and the elderly will be left to die. But then… you didn’t vote so these things are of no concern to you – tho’ you, too, will grow old one day.

You read my earlier post. This is about taking over 1/6th of the U.S. economy, and handing AMERICANS, and Pelosi’s (and McCain’s) bastardized illegals, over to a one-world government – “lock, stock, and barrel.” You’re included.

No one talks about it but barry soetoro aka/alias barack hussein obama was captured on surveillance camera coming out the back door of his gramma’s place in Hawaii, into the back alley – alone. It’s on youtube. She died shortly thereafter, and was quietly cremated. She came home to recover from a hip surgery, but died of ‘cancer’ within a couple weeks? Where was Hawaii’s modern medicine? Where was it?! This man obviously has no problem, by virtue of his own words, with “lessening pain” for himself, the nation, and the world, by giving grannies and gampaws “a pill” after ‘end of life counseling’ via the murderous plot of Pelosi’s HEALTHCARE/INSURANCE REFORM BILL.

Do you have family, Jay? Do you love them? You owe it to them to study the bigger picture re this insidious HEALTHCARE/INSURANCE REFORM BILL.

Please be a responsible AMERICAN, and search for truth re this usurper, and his administration, at:
