the republican senator that pisses me off with his sanctimonious partisan bullshit





Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said today he does not believe that U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice relied on the most accurate information from the intelligence community when she provided a public explanation for the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

“I’m increasingly convinced that the best and current intelligence assessment on 16 September went against the video. The video was a political smokescreen,” Graham said on “This Week With George Stephanopoulos.” “The actual facts were this was a coordinated, pre-planned terrorist attack.”

Speaking at the United Nations on Wednesday, Rice said that some of the attacks leveled against her by Republican lawmakers were “unfounded.”

“When discussing the attacks against our facilities in Benghazi, I relied solely and squarely on the information provided to me by the intelligence community. I made clear that the information was preliminary and that our investigations would give us the definitive answers,” Rice said.

Please put a warning in your subject line. It's bad enough this little shitstain is my Senator. And, it's bad enough that my other Senator is an even bigger shitstain. But, do I have to look at that horrible image too?

Davis, who is seeking a second, four-year term in Columbia, has visited nearly 30 South Carolina cities and towns during the past few months, rallying support and raising money for like-minded state Senate candidates.

He also spoke at a Ron Paul rally preceding the Republican National Convention, making waves by calling for the defeat of U.S. Sen. Lindsay Graham, a fellow Republican, in 2014. Paul helped Davis raise money in Columbia earlier this year.

The repugs here have been wanting to get rid of Miss Lindsay for some time now--for being "too liberal." It's going to be an interesting couple of years coming up...

Goober is notorious for sounding "reasonable" until it comes time to put up or shut up...then he not only moves the goal posts, he'll move the entire football field. By glamming onto Gramps, little Lindsey gets a lot of camera time and the beltway villagers assume he's an "expert" and "reasonable" as well. Truth is he's just another rushpublican weasel...
