The bill, which passed the House last year, is likely to get a vote in the Senate before the midterms given the support of Mr. Schumer and GOP lawmakers. At the moment, nine Republicans have signed on to the bill, including Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.
Lindsay Graham pointed out that Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is doing exactly what he said he was going to do when he was elected a mere four months ago.
South Carolina RINO Lindsey Graham guested on Meet the Press Sunday and actually said things – for once – that didn’t make conservatives hair stand on end.
Shocking, but true.
He pointed out that despite all the union goon signs calling Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is a dictator and comparing him (unfavorably, we might add) to Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini and Hosni Mubarak, he is doing exactly what he said he was going to do when he was elected a mere four months ago.
In other words, he’s doing exactly the people of Wisconsin elected him to do.
Graham: In a democracy, when you run on something, you do have an obligation to fulfill your promise. He didn’t take anybody by surprise, he’s doing exactly what he said. There was a referendum on this issue and the unions lost, and the Democrats in Wisconsin should come back to Wisconsin to have votes.
Far be it from us to be cynical, but it appears that November’s elections have impacted politics in South Carolina as well as in Wisconsin.
Believe it or not, Alvin Green got almost as many votes as victorious Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. So with his Democrat power base firmly established, Alvin is looking to his political future.

Alvin Greene is our man in 2014
The Daily Caller has the details:
Though Senator Jim DeMint is projected to have won reelection by a long shot by the major news networks, Democratic challenger Alvin Greene has yet to give up hope on ballots that haven’t been counted yet.
“I don’t know,” Greene said in a phone interview with The Daily Caller. “They aren’t all in yet.”
Greene has also told TheDC he is mulling a possible run against Republican Lindsey Graham in 2014.
“I would have run against Graham three years ago if I wasn’t in the military,” Greene said. For a potential 2014 candidacy, Greene said, “I have to see where my priorities are.”
We’ll make you this pledge right now, Alvin:
If you decide to run against RINO Lindsey Graham, we’ll throw the full support of IHateTheMedia.com behind your campaign. You couldn’t be worse than Graham and you’d give us a lot more laughs.
South Carolina RINO Lindsey Graham must be reading the polls. He’s gone from amnesty advocate to a startling new position.

Politico.com has the tale of a political turn-around:
Lindsey Graham reacts to polls that show overwhelming opposition to his former position on illegal aliens
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) announced Wednesday night that he is considering introducing a constitutional amendment that would change existing law to no longer grant citizenship to the children of immigrants born in the United States.
Currently, the 14th Amendment grants citizenship to any child born within the United States.
That interpretation is a relatively recent political phenomenon and whether it’s correct will eventually be addressed by the cours, but let’s not get into that argument at this point:
But with 12 million illegal immigrants living in the United States, Graham said it may be time to restrict the ability of immigrants to have children who become citizens just because they are born within the country.
“I may introduce a constitutional amendment that changes the rules if you have a child here,” Graham said during an interview with Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren. “Birthright citizenship I think is a mistake, that we should change our Constitution and say if you come here illegally and you have a child, that child’s automatically not a citizen.”
If you’ve ever wondered about the strange relationship between John McCain and Lindsey Graham, just think about Mr. Burns and Smithers on the Simpsons. Animated homoerotica at its finest and funniest.

South Carolina Republican Lindsey Graham thinks the Democrats are drunk. Or even worse. Here’s what the wobby Republican had to say about the Slaughter Strategy.
South Carolina Republican Lindsey Graham thinks the Democrats are drunk. Or even worse. Here’s what the wobby Republican had to say about the Slaughter Strategy:
“They’re trying to use a process that is sleazy, it’s unfair, it’s a trick play. They’re trying to have a health care bill passed without voting on it. So my comments really reflect the fanaticism of the Democratic leadership, and I don’t know whether sake or moonshine, but no sober person would do this.”
The concept of drinking Democrats isn’t all that far-fetched as you can see here and here and here and here.
The Democrats obviously miss Teddy Kennedy’s unsteady hand. If they’re going to drink, he would have been their natural leader.
