John McCain and Lindsey Graham Declare War on Rand Paul
Reason ^ | Mar. 7, 2013 12:09 pm | Brian Doherty

Posted on 03/07/2013 10:12:20 AM PST by Behind Liberal Lines

The anti-Rand Pauls, Sen. John McCain of Arizona and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, took to the Senate floor this morning to defend killing American citizens at presidential discretion. Graham is doing so live on C-SPAN2 right now, saying that everything you do is a danger to America no matter who or where you are, as long as the U.S. government has decided you have "joined al-Queda," whatever the hell that means....The Republican Party is at war, folks, and let's hope Rand Paul and his troops win.

Rush just quoted Graham as saying that Rand Paul’s filibuster motivated Lindsey to vote for Brennan.

Traitors and they can no longer be trusted. Two things must happen:

#1 Recall efforts for both of these senators. They no longer represent the people of Arizona and South Carolina

#2 We need to begin forming a 3rd party called the Constitution Party. It will allow its members to run its own canddiate on State and National tickets if neither the Republican nor Democrat candidate satisfactorily represent positons of protecting the Consitution. The Consitution Party could also endorse one or the other of the major party canddiates if they better represent the basic philospohy of the party i.e. strict interpretation of the Constitution.

Do you know what is really funny...

Paul, Rubio, Lee, and Cruz were all Sarah's picks and endorsements.

Now McCain picked her, and now he is against her rouge picks.

These are the same Mavericks he claims to be, yet he doesn't realize he is a dinosaur-statist-republican and a Rove lackey at this point...

They tried to destroy her, those of us with a Conservative Libertarian mindset have chosen people that infuriate the Statist to the point where they will destroy themselves, as they go after them. I don't wish them Ill but at some-point they will implode like Weiner did via their arrogance. It may not be a peccadillo situation that Weiner did, it maybe more political, but we maybe watching the meltdown of Grahamnasty and McCain soon.

Grab the popcorn, this will be fun...

Tell that to the Dems of AZ. They’re the ones that keep electing him. We don’t have a closed Primary.

“to defend killing American citizens at presidential discretion.”

Defending the indefendable from a Constitutional perspective. Well considering they have no regard for any immigration laws, this falls in line with that thinking too I guess. I await their saying the second amendment is only at the descretion of Phaeroh.

That does it for me. I’ll stand with with real Americans, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, among a few others. McLame and Linseed can caucus in closets.

What if it was decided that McCain and Lady G. are "a danger to America...no matter who or where you are, as long as the U.S. government has decided you have "joined al-Queda," whatever the hell that means...."

Is it time for the conservatives to grow some backbone and call for recall elections in these rino’s homestates before we get fully into the 2014 election year? These members of the gang of 8 have been nothing but trouble for the conservative movement.

I hope Rand’s Last Stand does not classify him as an enemy combatant. The droning he did yesterday will set up a permanent droning for him!

One thing is certain. McQueeg and Grahamnasty have become the poster boys for everything that is wrong with the Republican party.

Hey McDork and Limpd*ck,

Go to Venezuela, and do what their (ex) leader just did.

Do it now.

Conservatives no longer give a smelly Obama what the h*ll either of you does, as long as you do it without consuming O2 on this planet.

And if the _resident decides that Tea Party members are a danger to the country, I presume these so-called Republicans would fall in right behind their king calling for their destruction.

Recall of a federal elected official is unconstitutional, so I wish we’d knock off with the recall crap. A recall election can be held, but resigning after being recalled is entirely voluntary. Do you see either of these POSs doing that?
