Nothing he does can save him

Poor Lindsey Graham. In less than eighteen months he’ll be defeated in South Carolina’s 2014 GOP primary. He is the number one target of the Club for Growth. He is talking tough about the UN Ambassador and yelling “Benghaz!” over and over again as if it is a magic word that will save him from doom. It won’t help. Count Chocola wants his blood.

And this–more than anything else–explains every action Lindsey will take in the coming days, weeks and months.

And it helps to explain John McCain’s bitter panic as well. Lindsey will be his last sycophant standing when the 113th Congress comes to town. Lindsey will be the last Senator left who will automatically treat everything McCain does as “awesome”. McCain will do what he can to save his fanboy, but it will not matter. Even if they both went full Ni-CLANG on President Obama 24/7 (and they’re both almost there), they will not be able to save poor old Lindsey from the wrath of the wingnuts.

Any journalist who treats either of these doddering old fools as relevant will prove themselves to be hacks. As there are so many hacks in the media, we can expect a lot of fluffing and tire swinging as McCain and his sidekick sink into oblivion. This is known.

Cheers

    I don’t understand that article. The Club for Growth is mad at him because he’s “fiscally irresponsible” but the only area where he’s cited as being fiscally irresponsible is not wanting to cut defense? I thought that was the one thing none of these guys wanted cut.

    Or is he just being thrown under the bus because they need scapegoats right now and he drew the short straw?

    Keep thinking about 2014. Will it be like 1998 (Clinton picked up seats) or 2010 (well, you remember)?

    If K-thug and others are right that we’re set for economic recovery, we’ll probably have another 1998 (or at least be able to stay about even). The Rs will of course be obnoxious, and it will turn off just enough people to offset their turnout advantage in midterm elections. Of course, some of it depends on us.

    I doubt we’ll have overreach as extreme as impeachment (and the backlash it provoked in 1998), but a guy can hope. It would only be helpful and clarifying, I think. And, of course, they could never muster the votes for conviction.

    When the elections were decided I had a whole ten seconds’ worth of optimism that the results would set off even a tiny bit of change on the other side. Now you tell us that the Club for Servitude is considering a challenge to Lindsey (Fucking) Graham. And, this is after their overthrow of Lugar worked out so well for them.

    I am old and therefor tend to be pessimistic anyway, but I can’t help thinking that even if the entire GOP congressional delegation had a come-to-FSM moment the immediate result would be their removal by the wingnuts.

    Graham isn’t old like McCain. He’s approx. 56, because he was a year ahead of my husband in law school. Interestingly, Mr. A never heard of or came across Graham as an upperclassman in law school, not as a class officer, law review, or any of that stuff you’d expect from a future senator.

    If we could turn him to vote our way a few times he would have served his purpose. After that they could put him in an office with a title where he couldn’t do much harm. If it would hurt the GOP and help the US I’d be all for it. in ’09 he had nothing to lose now he does he might be a bit more reasonable.

    Of course the down side is it might prevent a nasty primary fight which would be fun to watch.

    So who is in the running for the Dems for this seat? Because the GOP may well have not figured out the real lesson from 2012: that idiots get nominated by their party…and lose.

    You’d think that was obvious, but it happened in the run up to 2012 in several special elections.

    So finding a Dem – even a blue dog still helps decide the Senate majority leader and (at times) can be corralled for cloture votes.

    Our team needs to be ready with a real contender, not a placeholder in case the GOP nominee has a bimbo eruption/rape outburst/hear attack a couple weeks before the vote.

    This might be true. However there are two things to consider:

    I don’t know if the SC Democratic Party is organized enough to take advantage of the idiocy that is likely to erupt in a wingnut challenge to Lindsay Graham considering that it was the source of the Alvin Greene for Senate weirdness when Jim DeMint got re-elected in 2010.

    Jim DeMint is the other Senator from South Carolina.

    That second factoid is probably more damning that the first. Given that the voters of SC have already sent Jim DeMint to the Senate twice, I’m sure that the SC wingnuts will be able to find someone who is more demented than Lindsay Graham but not so demented that he turns off the median voter in SC. Just find someone mildly less stupid/crazy than Jim DeMint and there shouldn’t be a problem.

It’s a building toy marketed to girls which includes a storybook. People are LOVING this thing. The video is probably in your facebook if you know anyone with a young daughter. I LOVE the idea of more building toys effectively marketed to girls. I love the idea of exposing them to engineering. But the toy itself looks, in a word, dumb. It seems to basically have a ribbon that turns some little spools around with animals on top. Please, I can’t talk about it under my name so if you’ve seen this product tell me what I’m missing? Is it more fun than it looks?

    Fritz Hollings is long since retired and likely too old to run. James Clyburn is extremely senior in the House Democratic caucus; it’s unlikely he’d give that up for a long-shot Senate bid.

    There’s John Spratt, who served in the House from 1983-2011. He could make a competent Democratic candidate in the event SC gets a Mourdock or an Akin.

    Then again, it’s SC–far more right-wing than either MO or IN. It’s possible a Mourdock/Akin could get elected there.

    Maybe. It certainly helps explain some of Graham’s and McCain’s weirder preoccupations these days.

    But that United Liberty article on Chocola’s wrath for Graham was written over a month ago, 2012 Oct. 19 — which means it was written before the GOP lost another two seats in the Senate due to primarying elected Senators and House Reps with unelectable extremists.

    The Club For Growth may be having second thoughts about that strategy. So Graham might have better odds of either not being primaried, or surviving a primary, on the next go round.

    @Josh G.: The key part of this was getting the CONN republicans to vote for him and sacrifice their own candidate. Will SC Democrats sacrifice their candidate to vote for him? I doubt it.

    I think a conservative African-American candidate, say a respected religious leader, who would be willing to walk counties like Florida’s Lawton Chiles, might be able to at least post a good challenge. Someone with enough cred to pick up some of the poor white vote and enough gravitas to pick up former white Graham voters who are afraid to vote for a lowest-common-denominator crazy. However, Graham was shitting himself looking at SC returns because Charleston vote totals were low, and I think that was his power base. Greenville is racist crazies. Hence the attack Obama all the time policy.

    Even though this theoretical candidate might lose by a few points (or might win, if politically skilled enough), it would certainly be a good jumping place to state senate or a house race in a competitive district.

They don’t like being told what to do, and if they have to do it, they don’t harbor great feelings for the folks giving the order.

    Of course, the complication to your embecilic claim is that I have indeed given Cole hell on quite a few occasions since his commission. It’s just that you’re too stupid to notice and it doesn’t fit your cute little presumptive narrative.

    The echo chamber isn’t just for politics you know.

    @Yutsano:

    They have long intimate e-mail conversations! They’re besties! No wonder Special Timmeh leaves JC alone on here! He’ll just fire off a sternly worded e-mail to JC and get his way!

    Ahhh…Yutsy is jealous.

    Actually, we speak on the phone frequently. FB too. Does that drive you mad with envy?

    If you weren’t addled by your own stupidity you would know that I have given Cole severe shit in comments a number of times recently. But like I say…you’re addled.

    Here, I’ll help:

    McCain: Look you idiots, it’s pronounced BEN-GAAAHHH-ZEE, not BEN-GAY-ZEE. Benghazi is a city in Libya, Ben-Gay-Zee is something smelly you rub all over your body to make the hurt go away. And if you don’t believe me, just ask my good friend Senator Graham here…

    Sir, we’re gonna need to verify your address in order to send you your brand new internets.

    Honestly, I could give a fuck if this douche is taken down by Tea Party dingbats. It’s his funeral – and he’s such a disingenuous, egocentric little jerk that a piece of crap like Jim DeMint wouldn’t be much worse. Aside from the fact that truly crazy GOPers offer the Dems unlikely opportunities in Red States. Same for McCain. These two creeps are way past their shelf-life. If they fall victim to intra-GOPer humiliation due to insanity, bring it the fuck on! I detest them both.

    It’s about time a suitably heavy object, like a small moon or a space station, was dropped on Timmeh.

    @Spaghetti Lee: Darla Moore would be popular, especially after Nikki threw her off the USC board in favor of a contributor. I have no idea whether she’s a Democrat, though.

    There’s a great photoshopped pic of Gregory Peck as Ahab strapped to the white whale, which has lots of logos written on it reading BIRTHERS and 9/11 TRUTHERS and RACISTS and SURVIVALISTS and so on and a big arrow pointing to Ahab trapped with the whale that says GOP: YOU ARE HERE.

    Sure wish I could find that one. It popped up in 2010 but I haven’t seen it since. I think it appeared either on Driftglass or Sadly, no.

    Anyone have a link?
