Is Lindsey Graham of S.C. a closet

A closet "socialist"?

Graham is one of the four Congressmen from South Carolina who is trying to defeat any kind of health insurance reform.  It doesn't matter that South Carolina ranks in the bottom three states of all or most health issues that are bad to worst.  Across the board of proper health care, it is S.C.'s people who need it the most, and it's S.C.'s Congressmen who are fighting it the hardest. 

Yet, almost, during the Obama speech to Congress, almost, Graham showed his humanity......almost.

The Republican philosophy is to be against a lot of the above.  Yet, practically speaking, Republicans love all of the social programs (socialistic).  They would also love the health care public option.

I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.

As far as I am concerned these are the socialists in America. Let them do what they feel is right and I certainly can't be bothered by them.
