Why doesn’t Lindsey Graham just go ahead and claim the (D)?

What a waste of a senate seat. The goofy, nil-brained senator from South Carolina has once again (shock! surprise!) swerved to the left in an effort to advance his personal interests.

And so, last Friday, in stumbled Sens. Lindsey Graham, John Thune, Saxby Chambliss, Bob Corker and Johnny Isakson — alongside five Senate Democrats. This “Gang of 10″ announced a “sweeping” and “bipartisan” energy plan to break Washington’s energy “stalemate.” What they did was throw every vulnerable Democrat, and Mr. Obama, a life preserver.

Here are the dirty details from the WSJ.

Way to go Lindz, you really know what the people want.

The Theory of Huckativity

Carter + Clinton = Huckabee

[Note: I can't take credit for this - I think i first saw it on a RedState comment ]

Where’d the Media Go?

No thanks, Chuck Norris… or Mike Huckabee

I’m still making up my mind about the pantheon of Republican candidates for president. I was briefly excited about the candidacy of former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee. Then I started doing some research…

Even though I might draw the ire of Chuck Norris (have you seen this commercial? hilarious!), I can NOT handle the following clip:

From what I gather – there is broad consensus that the go-to option used to pay for government programs during Huckabee’s administration was to raise taxes.

NO THANKS!

“Huckabee would be a disaster on immigaration”

From the Selwyn Duke at American Thinker:

Huck would be a disaster – a disaster – on immigration. In fact, in 2006 he compared those who would crack down on illegals to antebellum slave masters, saying,

“One of the great challenges facing us is that we do not commit the same mistakes with our growing Hispanic population that we did with African Americans 150 years ago and beyond. We’re still paying the price for the pathetic manner in which this country handled that.”

Outrageously, it seems Huck can’t distinguish between denying citizens the protection of the law and requiring non-citizens to follow it.

According to the president of the immigration reform group NumbersUSA, Roy Beck, this isn’t out of character for Huck. Says Beck,

“He was an absolute disaster on immigration as governor. Every time there was any enforcement in his state, he took the side of the illegal aliens.”
