Lindsey Graham denounces GOP base voters for 'visceral...almost irrational' dislike of Obama
By Thomas Lifson

Madness has gripped a segment of the Republican Party that embraces a war on its own voters as unworthy.  Instead of blaming himself for a presidential campaign mired at the one percent level of support, failing to make a ripple even in his home state of South Carolina, Senator Lindsey Graham blames the GOP voters who are too driven by irrational, probably racist beliefs. Caitlin Yilek of The Hill reports:

    Republican presidential candidate Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) says GOP front-runner Donald Trump is doing so well in the polls because nearly half of Republican primary voters think President Obama is a Kenyan-born Muslim.

    “Well there’s about 40 percent of the Republican primary voter who believes that Obama was born in Kenya and is a Muslim,” Graham told Boston Herald Radio on Friday, according to BuzzFeed News.

    “There’s just a dislike for President Obama that is visceral. It’s almost irrational,” Graham added.

Now THIS is an example of how a person who considers himself presidential material loses voter support.  Only an intelligence challenged person would assail his potential voters for their dislike for the worst president of all time.  10631

Graham's done in the presidential race.

But there are a lot of crazies in the GOP.  This whole birther thing is a perfect example of it.

"Thousands and thousands of Muslims" is another.

All this could be avoided in two words:   Term limits.

The framers considered scheduled votes as an easy way to limit terms.  Unfortunately, name recognition now plays a bigger part in elections than policy. :vote:

What's funny about those who demand term limits is that they want the law to do what they can't do in elections.

That's true, Sink.

But as Ranger pointed out....too many people treat elections like American Idol and go with the familiar name.

Nothing new here.  The GOPe hates their "crazies" more than they hate Oba or HRC.  There is daily evidence of this on TBR.

There isn't a single person here on TBR who hates 'crazies' more than they hate Obama or Hillary.

Not ONE.

I'm not convinced.  I've seen posters here say they will vote for HRC if a Cruz or a Trump in the nominee.

Well that's neat.  What that has to do with my post in response to musiclady's false claim only you know, Mr. TDS. 

Are you going to answer my PM, or are you going to continue to run away from your stances?

I already did in the Boxing Ring.  You even replied in the thread.  Myst told me to PM you my question that you've been avoiding for so long.

Go to the "Who Deleted My Thread to Sinkspur about His Thoughts on Tax Credits???" thread that you already replied to while avoiding my question.

There was nothing 'false' about my statement, Carling.  I know you despise me, but please don't accuse me of lying.  I DON'T lie.

EVER.

And there is only one poster whom I have seen claim he would vote for a Dem, and that guy is a Trump supporter.

If you have any proof otherwise, please feel free to share it, and I will back off my claim that every poster (save that one Trump guy) hates Obama and Hillary FAR more than Tea Party conservatives (which I am, btw).
