I heard part of Graham's speech last night. For being brave enough to step out of the neocon ranks (just a tiny bit), I say good on him. I think he was 100% right on Beck, being more of a cynical showman than a person with a vision for the future. But Graham has also slammed Ron Paul for his libertarian views in the past. And he was pretty much Mr. Patriot Act when Bush/Cheney were busy protecting us from the Boogeyman. To me, he's just another neocon/Fundie. But at least he's got enough guts to take on a hero of the lunatic fringe that's going to completely destroy the GOP sooner than later. He slammed the crazy Birthers pretty good, and even admitted that some of these loons are racists and nutjobs. So I have to give him a high mark for breaking from the ranks of the blissfully (willfully) ignorant.
Now I'm the cynic. If you watch carefully, Graham has apparently been set up to be the GOPers big tent guy. He's the guy going out and making the statements (albeit fairly milquetoast statements) where the GOPer leaders and talk show hosts can the point to and say..."see, we're not all in lock step...there's dissent tolerated in our party"
He's the only guy doing it and it's clear to me that's his role right now. But you have to listen to what he ultimately says. He's not peddling to democrats or republicans...he's peddling to independents who may be ignorant of certain facts.
What person in either party who follows politics would accept that Beck doesn't represent a party...without looking for a punchline to follow?
Yet Graham says that with a straight face. Beck certainly wasn't a cynic for GWB policies....:2 cents:
Glenn Beck is not aligned with a political party but just a cynic??
Pretty milquetoast criticism IMO.

Now, if only a good blue dog would actually have the temerity to speak out in opposition to our beloved, self absorbed, megalomaniacal left wing jackass of a president, America as we have known her could be salvaged.
If the "O" man wasn't an enemy of our dear United States of America what would he be doing differently ?
Beck and Graham, for all intents and purposes are irrelevant, let's not get distracted by the subtle goings on within of the minority opposition and focus our attention on the whereabouts and doings of the appeaser in chief, THE assclown of our very time and space. :hatsoff:
