Sen. Graham: If We Voted Against 21st Century GI Bill, We Will be "Rewarded in the Next Election"

The moral of this story is that Lindsey Graham doesn't know snakes from dildos. Polls show that the bill is incredibly popular, with some 80% of voters favoring it.

Of course, by "rewarded" Graham could mean "tossed out on our asses," which seems to be a pretty good bet regardless of their stance on the GI Bill.

clipped from thinkprogress.org Just over an hour ago, the Senate voted overwhelmingly — a veto-proof 75-22 — to approve Sen. Jim Webb’s (D-VA) 21st Century GI Bill, which would expand educational benefits for veterans who joined the service after Sept. 11, 2001. Before the vote, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), who introduced his own watered-down, paltry version of the GI bill, exhorted President Bush to veto the measure, as he has indicated he will. Graham also insisted that his Republican colleagues would “get rewarded in the next election” if they vote against GI benefits
