If they could have reported it was all Hillary's fault then the GOP could win in 2016, now it will be harder. Poor Lindsay, nobody wants to help.

They just can't stand it that facts don't conform to their political slant and hatred of all things Obama. So how does he deal with it, call out facts and truthfulness as crap. If it's not right wing these days, to these twisted sisters, it's a total lie. Repugs = willfully blind.

John McCain 'Strongly Encouraging' Lindsey Graham To Consider 2016 Run

Sen. John McCain is prodding one of his closest allies in the Senate to consider a run for the White House – Sen. Lindsey Graham.

“I think he is looking at it, and I am strongly encouraging him to take a look at it,” McCain, R-Ariz., told ABC News. “I know of no one who is better versed and more important on national security policy and defense than Lindsey Graham, and I don’t think these challenges to our security are going away.”

“He is eminently qualified,” McCain added.

And this from the old bastid that picked Sarahbell the Clown to run as his VP and Joe the Plumber as his spokesplumber?. Why does John McCain want to turn the "Great Ship of State" into the second coming of Titanic? Bush told everyone back in 2000 that McCain was a nutcase. Could W have told the truth, on just that one occasion?

Lindsey in the white house would be like President Gomer Pyle.

I have the vague feeling that Graham has occasionally said something that was borderline sensible, though off the top of my head I can't cite any specifics.

If we're relying on reverse infallibility, let's go right to the top.

You suffer from what I call "the whiney ass white man syndrome"! You and the likes of you, meaning the GOP all you do is whine! You are not capable of finding any solutions for the problems we face as a country! You suppose to be the big old military man, actually I think you are an insult to the military and this country.

37. Benghazi has been Ghastly
Tue Nov 25, 2014, 12:13 PM
Nov 2014

Ghastly perhaps shockingly frightful, dreadful, or horrible, that the Benghazi Conspiracy does not condemn Hillary to be shackled into pillory for everyone to view.

How long has this controversy been in the mainstream media ? Moreover compared to what we the people know to be true and penetrating that the whole of Iraq war was total lie to profiteering which is the primary cause of Middle East unbalance. The Arab spring was just a bunch of American dollar pay offs springing up all over the place.

Men like Graham are core factions embedded in the military industrial complex as a Colonel in the Air Force likely connected to crude profit minded partners that have one concern to tap the treasury.

Hillary does have an open opportunity, with a likely win in game playing with a simple advantage with this Benghazi stuff. All likely-hood Graham lost it because there is a plan that very well can expose all the game playing with mainstream media supporting the Republicans in what they have been up to during the Bush Administration.

In fact why not turn this into a fair game to investigate redacted files that Bush dumped upon the public…that serves notice of much to hide means alot was done wrong, worse criminal.
