I have somewhere a copy of a 19th century art work where Cicero is speaking to the Roman Senate about Catalina's conspiracy and Senator Catalina is alone and shunned.

We need to have our narcisstic Catalina wannabees like McCain and Graham suffer the same fate.

I'm a retired AF guy. The AF is unique for a number of reasons. One of them is that it is the only service where the officers are the combatants, and the enlisted members (the maintainers) send the officers off to die.

Having said that, Lindsey was a JAG. I was a JAG. So was my wife. I met Lindsey once; my wife knew him better, having shared office space in a large suite arrangement with him in Germany.

He was a very talented trial lawyer. He was prosecuting the military equivalent of felony cases, exclusively. With great success.

My wife says that if he had a girlfriend, she didn't meet her, or hear about one. She also says that she has absolutely no reason to suspect that he is gay. The man is a loner.

For what it is worth.

And THIS man was on our side in Impeachment?

If I only considered this one fact, and nothing else I know about Clinton, it would cause me to doubt the Impeachment.

He speaks almost exactly like Gomer Pyle.

This is what a spineless homosexual compares to bravery. Disgusting.

He keeps saying on Hannity that 40% of Republicans want to filibuster democratic nominees in the future to justify the backroom deal, and that 1 judge won't make it for an unspecified reason. Weasel.

Lindsey Graham is a traitor. He arrived as a conservative in the '94 class, but now he joins the sellouts. SC, please get rid of him at the next opportunity.

I didn't hear a sound bite. I heard and saw the whole interview live.

He spoke of the troops in Iraq as fighting there while the whole government fought this issue and perhaps held off deciding important matters while they were thus engaged. In no sense did he equate his actions with the bravery or risk of the troops.

That being said, he has proven himself a stupid twit by the action in support for McCain's grandstanding. The action was wrong enough on its face without accusing him of a comparison he didn't make on his interview after the decision was announced.

He caved on the impeachment in the final round, too.

This guy truly lives in a bubble created by his overinflated ego. No wonder he and John McCain get along so well. Each recognized
an ego mate in the other one.

GRAHAM: There are kids in Iraq today and Afghanistan who don't have to be there. They volunteered to serve their nation and some of them are getting killed and some of them are getting injured and they all are subject to being shot at. They did something they didn't have to do for the good of the country. I didn't have to change my vote but I changed my vote knowing that if we don't try to cool off here, we're going to destroy the Senate and ruin the judiciary.

Never trust a J.A.G.--they are all goody-goody wussies. It was a J.A.G. who stopped the CIA drone from killing Omar in Afghanistan right after 9/11.

Its not proven knowledge that he is a homosexual, but many feel that the secret is what the demoncraps hold over him. You're right, if the folks of SC knew, he wouldn't stand a chance. I think he's swallowed his own load on this vote, anyway.

That is the most intelligent idea I have heard in a long time. Graham sold us out in his position, our soldiers never sell us out, unless they are muslim. Graham needs to put on his burkah along witht he rest of the sell-outs. NSNR
