Senator Rand Paul pointed out an important distinction today on Fox News about the foreign policy of some “neo-conservatives” in the Senate. Those whose foreign policy stances resemble President Obama and Hillary Clinton more than Ronald Reagan’s vision of “peace through strength.”
Specifically, Paul called out Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and John McCain (R-AZ) for being “Lap dogs for Obama’s foreign policy.” What he failed to drive home is that they are also lap dogs for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s foreign policy.
Analyzing these allegations against McCain and Graham, they all prove to be true.
Paul accused McCain and Graham of supporting arming Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi before supporting Hillary’s war to topple him.
First, Sens. Graham and McCain pledged support for the government in Libya. Politico reported on August 8, 2011, “a leaked U.S. diplomatic cable shows that Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain promised to help Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi obtain U.S. military hardware in 2009.” Senator Lindsey Graham was also the meeting where McCain made that promise to the Libyan dictator and his son.
Then Sens. Graham and McCain supported Hillary’s war in Libya that toppled the government. The Politico story further reported “McCain struck a distinctly different tone this week, telling Fox’s Greta van Susteren that ‘he [Muammar Gaddafi] has the blood of Americans on his hands as a result of Pan Am 103. He is a person who over time would — if he were able to succeed — would clearly train terrorists and export terrorism.’” So McCain was a strong supporter of the Libyan dictator in 2009, then a strong opponent in 2011.

McCain didn’t want to beat Obama.
Why haven’t the brain-dead Republicans in AZ and SC started recalls against these two Democrat moles?
Hey Fox News; there are more than 2 Republican Senators in the US Senate. It’s Guber and Maverick all the time. What gives Fox News? I think Greta has the hosts for Guber.
Because you can’t recall a federal official. There is no mechanism for that. Graham was just reelected and McCain is up for reelection in 2016.
For the same reason Maine keeps sending rinos to Washington.
They vote for laziness instead of accepting the risk and responsibilities that come with freedom.
Conservatives don’t want Graham in SC but Republicans and Dems do. This has been explained many times on FR but primaries in SC are open so the Dems cross over and put Lindsey in with the help of our own Rinos. Even the state legislature which is heavily Republican votes for tax increases whereby the true conservative governor Haley has to veto them. Many Dems changed parties to get elected and thus we have big spenders in key legislative posts. Also, Lindsey spends a lot of money each election cycle telling all how conservative he is.. a joke on us.
McCain was on Cavuto yesterday pushing Graham for president.
SC just re-elected their stooge even though they had a good conservative alternative in Lee Bright. I gues they like their cheap labor importer.
Same with AZ, they elected a second cheap labor importer in Jeff Flake, I guess one with McCain wasn’t enough.
Fox News is part of The Ministry of Propaganda. They work for The Cheap labor Express. Whatever it takes to prevent us from electing a President who will enforce the laws and stop the invasion/cheap labor impotation.
Fox is Roger Ailes
Rupert is hands off
