I never, EVER thought I'd ever say this, but sometimes, I really do wonder if Dick Harpootlian was right when he called ol' Lindsay "light in the loafers." I remember the crapstorm that remark caused when he let it slip...but now? Eh.

Like most of y'all SC FReepers, I voted for the guy when I lived down there. Now I can only wish y'all luck on sending him home in the primary when he runs next.

"We're on the verge of chaos, and the current plan is not working,"

AAAAAARRRRRRRG! Do these people not understand THEY ARE NOT HELPING! Their whining/weak kneed pandering only emboldens the enemy and makes the situation WORSE???

What does it take to make people understand the psychological importance of being confident and keeping your eye on the ball? Being calm under pressure? Walking on the sunny side? These pansies seriously tick me off. I'm a girl and I have a stronger spine than these weenies for Pete's sake. Grrrrr.

That said, I'm still voted straight R because the alternative is only worse.

I don't really remember politics pre-vietnam, but I distinctly remember that, especially since my Dad was retired Air Force and was stationed in Vietnam early on. I probably would not have paid much attention, or understood what the press etc was doing except that my parents talked about it, and our family had lots of discussions about politics and what was going on in the world.

I understand what you're saying, but the problem is that any pol with half a brain--especially a GOP Senator that the media automatically runs to for a "dissenting Republican viewpoint"--has GOT to know that all he's doing is undercutting his own country's war effort when he says something like this. Yeah, we've made mistakes in Iraq, there's no doubt, but my God, Lindsay, do you have to keep pimpslapping your own party's President upside the head again and again and again on it? And keep giving the anti-war, anti-American, anti-victory drive-by media even more ammo?

The rabid gay activists hinted at Graham's sexuality during the impeachment trials, since then Graham has moved to the McCain camp, where he can get cover for his stand on gay marriage. I think that there must be one other Senator that McCain is providing cover, but I am not sure who that is. There are indications that it could be Chaffee. They said that the guy was married.

I think that as long as the senators do not support Bush, they are left off the list, thus the attraction to John McCain.

Ooooh... real smart...jump into a new war before you finsih the first two.

Im not against ever attacking Iran, just not until its most advantageous.

Hell lets attack NK and Syria since it seemd so easy for you arm chair generals .

Tell me how you would have run the Iraq war so efficiently? Whats your experience at it...Battleship...King of the Hill...movies?

You make me sick. Cut and run...point fingers. Sheesh

It doesn't matter. No war is ever under control. It is simply chaos until it's over. And they tend to be over when the other side gives up.

The last man standing wins. We have a very simple choice. To be the last man standing, or to let them win. Ninety percent of any war is psychological. Graham needs to shut p and not give psychological fodder to our enemies and domestic demoralizers. He can work behind closed doors if he thinks we need a strategy change.

I do NOT want to let the press and the spineless wimps in this country do again what they did during VN. And I will say with 100% surety that they are trying very, very hard to replicate that particular "success."

Lindsey Graham is giving me a raging, throbbing clue!

Watch out for cluegoo though, that's just nasty.

You South Carolina voters have a lot of explaining to do about why the majority of you elected this guy to the U.S. Senate.
