I am rather shocked how the conservatives at Contentions have gone after Graham. See RE: Lindsay Graham Shows His True Colors.
One senses that the real issue is that Graham might disagree with them on perhaps one or two of other issues (AT MOST) and that is what is has got them upset. It is hard to see the language and tone they use to be justified if not for that.
However Graham is not being a hypocrite. I have always been a huge advocate of immigration reform and because of that got arrows like Graham. I was called an "illegal lover" yesterday in one conversation.
However Like Graham I have realized that the issue of birthright citizenship could and maybe should be revisited. I am fine with keeping the 14th amendment the way it is but I also realize with the way travel is that some people have legitimate concerns.
I am not guilty of nativism and neither is Graham.
I suspect there are great arguments for keeping the 14th amendment the way it is. However there is nothing wrong about having the discussion is there?
Regardless the name calling needs to stop especially by reputable conservative magazines against respectable Republican Senators without some of facts to back it up.
I think it is more about hating Lindsey than it is anything else. It is becoming more and more obvious that there are the "select" who are approved by the extreme right, Ron Paul Bots, and John Birchers. Then there are the rest of us. Lindsey is one of us.
