Default Lindsey Graham warns GOP against going too far right

Sen. Lindsey Graham warned that conservative activists will bring destruction to the Republican Party if they drive out moderate candidates across the country.

"YES BUT WE WILL BE RID OF RINOS LIKE YOU !"

The morning after Republicans lost an upstate New York House seat, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) warned that conservative activists will bring destruction to the Republican Party if they drive out moderate candidates across the country.


“To those people who are pursuing purity, you’ll become a club not a party,” Graham told POLITICO in the Capitol Wednesday. “Those people who are trying to embrace conservatism in a thoughtful way that fits the region and the state and the district are going to do well. Conservativism is an asset. Blind ideology is not.”

Graham, who has sparred with his party’s right wing on issues ranging from climate change to Guantanamo Bay to Sonia Sotomayor’s Supreme Court nomination, warned that those concerned about the state of the GOP should help find candidates who are electable — not ones who adhere to a particular type of ideology. And he said that both the GOP nominee, Dede Scozzafava and the conservative party candidate Doug Hoffman were both out of the mainstream of the upstate New York district – which lead to the victory of Democrat Bill Owens Tuesday night.

“If your goal is to make everybody just like you in terms of ideology, that’s a self-centered approach to politics,” Graham said.

You people will never learn. You will NEVER make this country a completely Conservative place. You will never force your religious beliefs on everyone. You will never have your Conservative paradise. There are too many other factions working against you.

thanks for reminding us that idiots like you are everywhere. And since we have to defend our rights that the constitution gave us, instead of trying to make a living for ourselves. And we have to worry about an over bearing goverment trying to make it so we cant even make anything extra so we can do things like put our kids thru college or maybe a vacation would be nice. Oh yea I havent been on one in over ten years... (the wife still wont forgive me for that one) You people never learn read history you will find that NONE of what the libs want for us works. All it does is kill a country and kill an economy.

Yes we will. You're too weak as individuals and too stupid in groups to stop us.
History always records the hard working, faith driven societies as succeeding.
The Low Lifes die off in the millions and the Socialist Elites dangle by the hangman's noose in the end.

Go ahead, toot your horn. Toot it loud. In the end you WILL lose. I said it in '08, and I was right. I say it now. You people are done. Have your little tea parties, and your little demonstrations, but it changes nothing. That nonsense that Michelle Bachman wants to do tomorrow will fail, as well. Your side will stay the losers that you have made yourselves.

Sane think about what you say before you get reactionary. Your sounding like a complete moron anymore.
History doesn't lie. You cannot change it. It doesn't support your ideas and never will. Socialism only last a few years and then people grow weary and hunt down their leaders.
You can whine all about how strong you are, but there is nothing in your cards that says you are right. Socialism ALWAYS fails. You won one election and already the country is starting to realize how stupid the Liberals really are and what a complete waste Obama really is. **** he's hasn't held a job longer than you so he won't go far.
Nature has a way of culling out the weak and stupid.
You can't even hold a job, yet you tell us your going to rule the country? Get a grip and wipe the BS off your mouth.
Your fricking fortune teller hat has fallen over your eyes. Wake up and stop sounding like an idiot.
You nothing but hot air.
The plus side (for us) is, you complete the Perfect Fool of being a Liberal.

InSane's problem is the contaminated gene pool he should have drowned in.

Lindsey Graham thought McCain was the perfect candidate. How's the hope and change going for you, Lindsey?

America is by enlarge a very conservative country and always has been.Yours is a very vocal and very splintered two coast party centered in the upper West Coast and Upper East Coast only amounting to about ten or fifteen percent of America at best.The tide has turned with the Democrats plundering the country and attempting to destroy the American Health Care system.

The older generation is now up in arms with the Administrations stated goals of destroying medicare and denying health care to older very ill seniors.All things considered a very ill conceived move on Obama's part.

The country's mood is shifting away from health care reform and now sees it for what it really is, a payoff by Obama to his dead beat supporters who don't work and don't want to work and are all for free medical and Social welfare.
