Last week I read remarks that Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said at the South Carolina Republican Convention.
Graham quoted what he called the 11th commandment by saying “Thou shalt not speak ill of other Republicans” and then proceeded to attack the Libertarian leanings of Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX). He said “Ron Paul is not the leader of this Party” after stating that “we are not going to build this Party around Libertarian ideas.”
He’s partly right – Ron Paul isn’t the leader of the Republican party. The Republican Party doesn’t have a leader. The big government RINO Republicans like Lindsey Graham, Saxby Chambliss, and Johnny Isakson who claim to be real conservatives but whose actions in the Senate say otherwise don’t want to build the party on Libertarian ideas. They know that Republican voters excited about true liberty will fire their Senators for someone ready to get government out of peoples’ lives.
He’s scared. And he should be. He’s part of the problem.
There’s a movement of people – and it’s not just the Ron Paul crowd – that’s sick of big government and is looking for a change. They’re looking for a leader. They’re looking for someone who understands what the role of government in citizens’ lives should be.
The Republican Party is split into 3 very different groups: those who favor and support the government expansion since 2000, those who favor big government legislating morality, and those who want a smaller government that gets out of their lives. We’re divided; we have no leader, and the Party will never succeed until we get solid leadership.
I don’t know who the next leader of the Party will be, but Lindsey Graham is fooling himself if he thinks that Republicans are going to continue to put up with the type big government foolishness that he has been a part of. Lindsey Graham’s ignorance and arrogance will eventually cost him his job.
