I want to highlight something from the Antle article I linked to below.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, McCain’s sidekick from South Carolina, has said he supports a plan that will put tax revenues on the table in order to prevent Pentagon budget cuts. Graham told the New York Times that he had “crossed the Rubicon” on Grover Norquist’s pledge against tax increases.
You have got to be kidding me. Seriously, what kind of a “defense” industry shill do you have to be to support tax increases to avoid any cuts to your precious “defense?”

Red–I cannot believe you are surprised by this.
If Graham had the guts, he should call it Reaganesque–raise taxes in exchange for set-asides to pay off MIC contributors!

Nothing Lindsey Graham could do, except voluntarily coming out of the closet, would surprise me.
