About waiting closer to election to expose Lindsey Graham...

Last edited Sun Jul 19, 2020, 07:33 AM - Edit history (1)

Why wait? Something like this could backfire and throw sympathy in Graham's direction. Especially if it involves being gay. I know conservative Republicans who told me that they're okay with it.

I don't understand why the late reveal will make a difference.

I don’t think that is such a big secret anyway (everyone in Washington knows) and I don’t think anyone cares.

I think it is something else.

because Lindsey didn't just despise Trump and then started accepting him, we went full-blown head up Trump's ass; yes INDEED

Perhaps he's actually a straight pedophile, who happens to have never married?

I despise people equating gay people with pedophiles, which apparently many people here think is just fine and dandy.

I think not. If you brought bigots to the prom, you’ll live and die by what they deem is gender appropriate.

Wow, what a thread to wake up to.

Can't believe what I've read on this particular thread, though gay hate seems to be accepted here pretty regularly.

I remember when it wasn't this way.

They don't care for 1 main reason.

He isn't openly gay and votes against LBGQT rights.

Anyone can say anything on twitter, but you are so hot to get Graham "outed" you believe it, right?

This seems to titillate you quite a bit huh?

This silly story came out some time ago. I don't care if Graham is gay or not, but sick to death of DUers showing their true colors when it comes to this subject.

If someone wants to "expose" him (because yeah all gay people should be "exposed) they would have already done so.

Smh.

Which then brings out the bigots who think gay people are pedophiles. Because, of course, anyone gay wants a kid. Disgusting crap that I really can't believe I'm reading here.

It's fucking ugly as shit, but apparently cool with most people here now.

A fascist loving corrupt dipshit who uses his position to drum up bullshit criminal investigations into political rivals like we're a Third world country. He's a wimp and a coward. He's not a Tinpot Dictator, he's worse! He's the guy that kisses the Tinpot Dictator's ass and brings him subjects that he can murder, rape and imprison.

He's a fucking racist scum who doesn't have the guts to get his hands dirty, but he'll provide the rope.

He's been at the government teet for decades, while his state ranks last, or second to last in every category other than "would you kill yourself to get the fuck out of South Carolina"?

And... the real way to "get him" is to reveal he's gay?

No Thanks!

I know for almost certainty he is (I’m close friends with a relative).
It’s his hypocrisy I find problematic.
