Graham: ‘If we’re going to let the bloggers run the country, then the country’s best days are behind us.’

From Think Progress and By Matt Corley After it was announced earlier this week that Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) would replace Sen. Arlen Specter (D-PA) as the ranking member on the Senate Judiciary Committee, bloggers, including ThinkProgress, noted that Sessions had a record of racial insensitivity that stopped his appointment to the federal bench in 1986. Now, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is hitting back at the blogs:

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Republicans would fight back hard if Democrats or liberal groups try to make the Supreme Court confirmation process about Sessions’ record, rather than about Obama’s nominee to replace Justice David Souter.

“If people try to go down that road, it’ll blow up in their face, because Jeff is a good guy,” Graham said. “My hope is that our Democratic colleagues — if you start listening to the bloggers — if we’re going to let the bloggers run the country, then the country’s best days are behind us.”

M.C.L comment: Ok Lindsey, only if you and the Republicans stop letting the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, Glenn Beck, Michael Savage, Neal Boortz, Michael Reagan, Laura Ingrahm, Michelle Malkin, Monica Crowley, Free Republic, Newsmax, World Net Daily, Fox News, Bill O'Reilly, Lou Dobbs and Karl Rove run the Republican party.
