Still not enough to earn even one vote from Muslims for the GOP.

Senator Graham! – You, sir, are out of (the GOP) line!!!

Lindsey Graham said earlier this month that “Everything that starts with ‘Al’ in the Middle East is bad news.” (Al is the Arabic equivalent of “the”).

You can’t make blanket statements like that and not hate ALL Muslims. Therefore, Lindsey is just being hypocritical denouncing Carson just like Cruz, is.

Calling it quits then, Linds?

Whatever one thinks of Graham’s politics, I think that his comments as quoted in the article are spot on. He even sounds like a man who can read without moving his lips.

I hardly know what to think any more. He sounds reasonable and sane.

Look, I know he isn’t, but he at least sounds that way.

Did Freaky Friday come on Monday this week?

See, now that’s more the Lindsey I’m familiar with. Phew.

This is one of Graham’s McCain moments. That point where, even in the midst of a brutal campaign, a fellow traveler says something is just so vile that you just can’t smile and let it go. Even the most cynical of GOPers will have one or more of these moments this cycle. Except maybe Trump.
