FOX Sunday - Wallace asks about senate playing politics with Hagel’s nomination. Wallace asks are you worried he will be damaged?
Graham says Hagel is to left of obama’s. softness toward Iran, antagonistic to Israel- beyond belief. Graham says senate is doing its job to investigate one of the most radical, unqualifed SoDefense to be nominated.
....but Graham says the president deserves deference to get the person he wants. (?????what’s the point if you’re lettiung obama know you will give him what he wants????)
on Benghazi, Graham says they don’t know who the survivors of the attack so they can talk to them. Wallace says obama admin won’t allow the FBI interrview transcripts to be released to the Senate.
Re. Brennan - Wallace asks about killing Americans/al queida within our borders - Graham is just fine with killing alqueida. Court should not be involved. (He doesn’t specifically refer to American al-queida, but the inference is that he would be fine, IMO. WOWSA.)
Linda Graham=McCain buttboy=RINO.
Rand Paul on FOX - Even with sequestor, spending will go up. It’s a cut in the rate of growth in spending.
Wallace asks Paul about Graham comments on drones. Paul syas the CIA and DOD is not allowed to act on American soil. obams says he doesn’t “intend” to use drones to kill Americans. Paul says\that’s not good enough.
primarily wants answers about American soil killings.
Brennan has said obama’ authorization for (action in Afghanistan - I think that’s what he said) has no georgraphical limit. Hasn’t answered whether that means the US.
asked about Rove - party shouldn’t be deciding who the candidate is. Have competitive primaries to get the best candidate.
On obama’s plan in the SOTU and spending. obama has claimed he’s reduced the deficit, things won’t increase spending plenty ot times while our debt keeps going up.
On the immigration reform plan proposed by the Senate - Paul sayts he supports immigration “reform” in general; he’ll support it IF the Senate gets a report that shows the border IS secure...every year for five years and vote whether they accept those conclusions. WON’T do it based on obama’s promises.
Wallace asks about how serious Paul is in running in 2016. IOW, are you doing this “to make a point”? Paul ssys if he wins, it will be to win it. Won’t make a decision until 2014.
