Lindsey Graham is a Disgrace to the Senate

This guy is unbelievable. Proves you can't trust Republicans, as I have often said.

From the article:

Baby-faced statist and United States Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) told reporters today that his colleagues in Congress need to get behind Obama's targeted killing program, and protect the president from "libertarians and the left." Politico reports:

“Every member of Congress needs to get on board,” Graham said. “It’s not fair to the president to let him, leave him out there alone quite frankly. He’s getting hit from libertarians and the left.

“I think the middle of America understands why you would want a drone program to go after a person like Anwar al-Awlaki,” Graham added.

“The process of being targeted I think is legal, quite frankly laborious and should reside in the commander in chief to determine who an enemy combatant is and what kind of force to use.”

“If this ever goes to court I guarantee you it will be a slam dunk support of what the administration is doing. I think one of the highlights of President Obama’s first time and the beginning of his second term is the way he’s been able to use drones against terrorists."

It's odd that Graham would mention this "going to court," as the leaked DOJ white paper that everybody's talking about explicitly says, "[T]here exists no appropriate judicial forum to evaluate these constitutional questions." Oh well! Graham will put his money where his mouth is by introducing a resolution next week commending Obama's murder of a 16-year-old boy.


Really? A resolution commending Obama for killing a teenage American citizen? This guy needs to go.

Graham is correct on this point. That is why opposition to Bush's waterboarding went nowhere , just as this will gain no traction. Oh there will be a dog and pony show. Maybe you guys haven't figured it out yet but what the vast idustrial complex wants, the vast industrial complex gets!

At least give him a damn clue. If possible, you might want to try humming a few bars of a song. Anything to give him a jump start!

The phrase "his Momma did not raise a fool," does not apply to StupidOldLyingFart.

Even Republicans don't like him but the republican establishment will keep him there as long as possible because he is truly a Republicrat.
I am sure if he lost a primary he would run as a Democrat.

He caught a real break when DeMint resigned. Now all the TeaNut activity will go to hold that seat for Tim Scott. Lindsey should coast now.

It might be the only race in the country where I would support a major party candidate who ran against him.

You're a Republican Whiny. You generally bitch about Repuglicocksuckers about once a week just to try and present the facade that you're a Librarian.

Or are you a Liberian?

I'll bet you're not even an American!

Hose huffer!
