WTF Did Lindsey Graham Mean By This???

Lindsay Graham has never been one who ever realy demonstrated any kind of racisism, this HAS to be a collosal gaffe, a major mis speak.... *facepalm Comeon Graham...pull you head out of your asss and think please Idiot.

By Stephanie Toone |Mr. Graham and Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C.requested that South Carolina Attorney General Henry McMaster review special funding arrangements negotiated with Democratic Nebraska Sen. Ben Nelson, according to a release from Mr. McMaster’s office. Both senators believe the funding appears to give Nebraska a permanent exemption from paying Medicaid expenses that other states must pay. Mr. Graham said some of the measures used to gain passage of the bill were “sleazy.” Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., voiced concern about the tax increases he said the legislation would require. He said on the Senate floor that the package would increase federal taxes by almost $26 billion. However, he added, 23 million Americans would still be left uninsured. I think what Lindsey Graham is saying is, how can a state like South Carolina that has an unemployment rate of 12% and a large medicaid population pay for Nebraska's medicaid?

Senator Nelson sold his vote on Health Care. What he got was the Federal Government picking up the states portion of medicaid in perpetuity. Which means that the other 49 states will pick up the tab. This is a Constitutional issue. The 14th amendment states that any law shall apply equally to all people and states. Why not look at the comment that Senator Reid made about the Senators that sold their vote early and got very little for it as Senators that are not doing their job. I didn't know that the job of the Senator was to steal as much money for their state and to build monuments to them selves. Try to drive more than 5 miles in WV with out seeing something named after Robert Byrd.

I think Senator Graham was saying there is 31% unemployment among African Americans in South Carolina. I doubt any racial negativism was intended.

Looks to me like he "stuck his foot in his mouth" and just lost all of the African American voters in his state. Typical rightie comment.

Well, I couldn't find any links to the Today Show, but I sure found a bunch related to his senate floor comments! If he hadn't repeated himself later, it could have been attributed to the lateness of the night and his thoughts all running together, but I can't imagine it having any innocent meaning other than what is implied with his willingness to repeat himself at a later time. The true colors are beginning to fly in DC. Let's hope it helps in getting rid of the closeted bigots in Washington.

From the Left? I haven't heard of that blog before, but I'll add it to your list of sources. Seriously Annie, the title of that garbage is "Miss Lindsey Graham Says S.C.’s Growing Black Population is a “Problem”". That's both childish and dishonest. He never said anything even remotely similar to "Growing Black Population is a Problem". That's just crap your blogs love to make up. I don't know why he felt the need to mention SC's 31% African American population. I would assume he's trying to get sympathy since the left claims to care so much about the African American population. Either way, focusing on something so petty is completely missing the point of what he was saying.

Um, he was pointing out that the senator from Nebraska accepted a bribe from his own party. That's what he was talking about.
