That Sen. Lindsey Graham is almost universally reviled by conservatives for his Republican flakiness is well established. And while right wingers never know which way the wind is going to blow for Graham on most issues -- last week for example, the man once dubbed "Grahamnesty" decided to oppose anchor-baby citizenship -- Lindsey can always be counted on to be consistent on at least one issue. And it's the worst one.
Under a headline in The Post and Courier reading, "Graham Stands Strong on War," the story noted, "Ending the war on any terms would answer the prayers of many. But it's Graham's worst nightmare, a drastic setback in America's war on terror and death for thousands of Afghans who have joined the fight."
The P&C added, "With WikiLeaks, escalating violence, and eroding support turning the battlefield to quicksand, Graham stands firm in his support for the war. He wants Republican lawmakers to stand with him and not join the anti-war left." Graham also warned of an "unholy alliance between the Right and the Left" that "might end funding for the war in Afghanistan."
While Graham believes it's acceptable to form an "unholy alliance" with the late Ted Kennedy to promote amnesty for illegal aliens, Sen. Joe Lieberman to promote a national ID card and a police state, and Sen. John Kerry to promote cap and trade -- and that's not even taking into account his party-bucking support for liberal Supreme Court nominees Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan -- our senior senator believes any Republican who joins with a Democrat in questioning the wisdom of arguably the dumbest, and certainly the longest, war in American history is doing something decidedly demonic.
Graham would love to frame the war debate by equating being pro-war with being conservative and anti-war with being liberal. But ask yourself this: Why is Graham, a self-described conservative, promoting an unpopular war alongside a president many right wingers consider the most liberal in history? In Graham's mind, is Obama some kind of foreign policy conservative?
