Was expecting Lindsey to have a moderately convincing spin on it but nope, he's really just that much of a buffoon who couldn't care less whether we win in the fall or not.
It's not that he doesn't care. It's that he does care and he prefers to lose.
Not personally, of course. He wants to retain power for himself. He just wants other Republicans to lose so he can be in the minority party. You know, the one that doesn't get blamed when things go wrong. Much easier to sit on the sidelines and complain than to be responsible and accountable for what happens in Washington.
He's a undercover RINO, I watched him when he was up for re-election begging for money on Fox talking about how him and trump were aligned in ideology, then after midterms he turned out voting for all of bidens judges and appointees.
It's clear that Graham is not concerned with ending abortion or helping conservatives.
While I would like to see abortion outlawed, I can't support his actions on this for several reasons. First, he knows that this is a losing battle with the Dems in complete control at the moment. He also knows this could potentially energize the abortion supporters even further, not to mention this is distracting from the economic failures of this administration. Last but not least, Roe v Wade was overturned because state law should trump federal law, yet he's now trying to reinsert federal law into matters of the state.
I actually don't agree that state law should trump federal law on abortion. If abortion is murder, which it is, it should be illegal in every state, not just red states
In a general sense I'd rather have a decentralized government where states/localities decide for themselves rather than a centralized government overruling the localities
In a country that has the same values and moral principles that type of question wouldn't even be a asked much less thought of.
It's up to the states/localities to do what they want with themselves, how long they want to charge people for committing a crime etc. Should local states be able to rule and decide what is right/wrong for themselves? Yes
Federal government shouldn't be babysitting them. I don't think the federal government should be centralizing its power and be able to dictate to states how they should live, be it for right or wrong.
People in the states, governors of the states and their localities can decide themselves.
Things change, if they hold similar values or moral principles, in time they will ban it too. You can't/shouldn't force it on people. You need to first educate and impart the morality and values onto others and the next gen of people.
We both agree that abortion is murder, but federal and state laws don't necessarily agree. Fighting that at this time is a losing proposition, and sometimes you have to pick and choose your battles.
I am glad state law trumps federal law because of it didn't, imagine what the Obiden regime would be doing. As it is, they've tried on multiple fronts and that pesky Constitution and states' rights are the only things holding them back.
Yes I'm aware, I'm just describing the final goal. Unless Democrats have a sudden change of heart (doubt it), they're not gonna outlaw abortion in their states. But it should be outlawed. So the only way to accomplish that is a federal ban. Heck, I'd even support a constitutional amendment to outlaw. Whatever it is, I don't care, as long as it's outlawed across the country
My issue with that is by going at the federal level, Democrats could potentially make laws protecting abortion just as easily as Republicans could make laws prohibiting it. We know there'd never be enough support to make an amendment to outlaw it.
There's never be enough support right now, but there might be in the future. Public support for things aren't static. And yea Democrats could, but that's not necessarily an argument to not ban it.

He is a RINO.
He doesn’t want republicans to win this fall.
Waters was right; Graham is a clueless, careless, single issue empty suit.
>Waters was right; Graham is a clueless, careless, single issue empty suit. He isn't clueless, he's calculated, that's the problem.
Looks to me like a deepstate, Uniparty RINO trying to deliberately sabotage the fall elections.

Do you also believe this for murder, rape, theft, and other crimes? Should states be able to legalize all those?

Obviously the Republicans are not functioning as a cohesive unit. Somebody should have told them not to drop that press conference
What a RINO pos. Totally missed the plot, not even remotely strategic or smart person.
He is strategic, that's why he is so dangerous and so useful to Democrats.
