Sen. Lindsey Graham said Sunday he is willing to emulate Texas state Democrats and flee the Capitol in order to deny congressional Democrats a quorum to pass a massive new “socialist” spending bill.In refuting a $3.5 trillion spending measure Democrats are eyeing to pass using a simple majority under a budget reconciliation process, Graham, R-S.C., called it the “tax and spend dream of the socialist left.”And in order to keep it from passing, Graham told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo he is willing to skip town like Texas Democrats to prevent it from passing.

Proving once again that Miss Lindsey has never had an original thought, besides the chance of the GOP-elite actually producing some street theater, like their more committed comrades, is slim to none. Miss Lindsey likes to show a little leg, but never puts out.

Shut up, Miss Lindsey. A quorum in the Senate is 1/2 plus 1 (51), not 2/3 as in Texas. You think you are going to get Pierre and the Twins to go along with this crap? The Demmunists only need one defection, and I guarantee they will get at least one RINO to give the reach across.
This was BS when they did it, and its BS if you try it. We know you are just grandstanding again, though. Stick to defeating it by other means such as the fact that they are trying to stuff a budgetary bill with non-budgetary items, such as immigration. That invalidates reconciliation.

Considering what the Dems are doing, that just might be a good idea.

Hey #4. I’ve never watched gay porn, but I bet they don’t call what John McCain and Miss Lyndsey “did together” collusion.

I don't have the polite vocabulary to describe what a monumentally stupid suggestion this is. He's not clever enough to make jokes, so I have to believe he means what he said. And my taxes pay his salary ?

Should the R’s ditch the Senate like the D’s did in Texas ?
Absolutely not !!
By Senate rules there is a presumed quorum whenever it is in session. The only way to challenge that is for a Senator to call for a quorum call. If there are no R’s there to do that I can guarantee that no D will. Then they will pass the bill on a voice vote.

No we shouldn't. If they can't run their city why should I pay for it? Also, another reason they shouldn't be a state.

Lindsey Graham supports amnesty for illegal aliens that the Democrats are putting in that bill, so Graham is not going anywhere except to vote for the Democrat designed amnesty for millions of illegal aliens who businesses what to hire as cheap foreign labor.

Yes, they should all bring their arses back home and stay there. We don't need any more laws, and we don't need them spending anymore of our money. When they come back home, we can jail all of them. One can dream.

Republicans bailed on American citizens long ago. You were in charge and did nothing.

Dems always vote in lockstep. Republicans don't, and then call themselves mavericks.

The only way Graham would leave DC is if they had a camera crew following him.
