Lindsey Graham denounces GOP base voters for 'visceral...almost irrational' dislike of Obama
2015-12-14
[AMERICANTHINKER] 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
... the endangered South Carolina RINO...
 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 B.O. 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 B.O. that is visceral. It's almost irrational," Graham added.

#15  His stuff needs to be taken away and given to deserving proletariat.

The Big Problem with Obama Socialism is that guys like Lindsay and Zuckerberg and Gates get to keep their stashes and their trust funds while the Little People just keep getting nickel-and-dimed to death. If there were a real Mao capable of taking away their stuff like they were little people, they'd actually bother trying to fight socialism.

I notice the country Mao shaped for forty years doesn't go in for all this Deindustrialization crap.

#13  No to be confused with Lindsey Graham's visceral and irrational dislike of 'his' party's base and their fundamental principles (to include following the Constitution).

#11  Lindsey, crawl back under your rock and slither back into your den. YOU are part of the problem in America! You want it business as usual for DC, the rape and pillage of our national treasure, the destruction of our values, the dividing of the people and the continuation of blaming everyone else for your problems. GO AWAY!

#10  Lindsey,
I wouldn't worry about it. Obama has visceral almost irrational hatred for the American middle class.

Anyone who does not realize this is delusional.

#9  How's that presidential campaign going, Lindsey?

#8  70% of the people believe the country is going in the wrong direction and only 25% of the people believe the country is going in the right direction. It's been that way for a long time. These numbers must include independents as well as some Donks as well. Irrational---I don't think so. I agree with the above comment about Graham--"shut your pie hole". There is also a rational reason why Lindsey Graham has never gotten any traction in the primaries or is not POTUS. BTW, the feeling is both visceral and rational.

#7  I know everyone is supposed to want a big tent with more voters but at what point can the party decide someone like Graham is a net negative and boot him out of the party.

#6  SC has a long tradition of electing Senators for life.

#5  I really wish Miss Lisping Lindsey would put a...cork in his pie hole. How this embarrassment keeps getting reelected amazes me.

Sorry, no plaque for "almost."

#2  actually, the dislike is quite rational, and is based largely on job performance.

At least you can keep your voting constituents happy with your performance.
