But what about diplomatic and development activities in non-warzones, such as Africa, Latin America, and dealing with AIDS, poverty, hunger, maternal health, etc? Does Graham plan to fight for their funding as well? He says yes.
"To the American taxpayer: We need to be investing in improving people's lives before the terrorists try to take over," Graham said.

Right. Sorta like the same pro-American, grateful attitudes that 4+ decades of The Great Society has created for the inner city
Keep on thinkin’ you can buy peoples’ loyalties, Senator.

How about representing your state and champion conservative immigration reform instead of the leftwing, Kennedy-Bush-McCain type you normally do.
CUT ALL FOREIGN AID TO ZERO; THEN SEE WHO YOUR REAL FRIENDS ARE....
Every third world dictator that gets taxpayer money winds up like Mubarak; ousted and with BILLIONS in HIS pockets, while the people can't find food......
You dumbass RINO.

I think he’d fit in better and be a much more happy person.
