Speaking to the South Carolina Republican state convention over the weekend, Senator Lindsey Graham felt compelled to repeat something he had already said once earlier this month “Ron Paul is not the leader of the Republican Party” “Yes he is!” many responded. Graham said “We are not going to build a party around libertarian ideas.” “You’re a hypocrite!” screamed an audience member. “I’m a winner, pal,” replied Graham.

Actually Lindsey, no you’re not. And when it comes to the debate over the future of the Republican Party, Lindsey Graham is the biggest loser of them all.
