McCain and Graham have to go, they’re both kissing Obama’s behind.


I think they are the bigges losers in this particular drama.

When the whole world is a battlefield, it’s a declaration that the best way around red tape, regulation, and constitutional rights are taking a bite out of the governing class wallets. A way around oversight, just like Benghazi. Benghazi btw was really just a Fast-n-Furious variant on a different time zone with deadlier customers.

Graham has to run for re-election next year!

Hopefully this little episode will prompt a good T.E.A. Party Conservative to throw their hat into the ring and challenge him in his primary.

******************************************************************
Yes, it will be good for a strong, common-sense conservative to run against Lindsey in the 2014 primary.

Actually, it would be good if MULTIPLE folks primaried him in 2014. That would help to exaust or at least decrease substantially his campaign funds and help keep him below the 50% margin he needs to avoid a run-off. Then his strongest primary competitor would kick his ass in the run off. This would be following the same strategy used that led to Ted Cruz’ defeat of the GOP establishment’s (and favored to win) candidate (Dewhurst) in 2012.

Come on South Carolinians, show some guts and some vision.

This does not mean that Obama will never use a drone against an American on American soil.

It just means that at this point in time he says he won’t.

But we all know what a liar he is.

OK. Great, according to you its Obama’s constitutional duty to fly an armed drone to your house to kill you and your family, when and if one of his cabinet members deem your death to be necessary in order to kill the terrorist who lives next door.

What irks me most of all is McCain and Graham upbraided Paul just after breaking bread with the POS in the White House. The two sound to me like they’d been pulled aside and told to rein Paul in.

I’ve said before, I have nothing but admiration for the courage shown by McCain during his years at the Hanoi Hilton, but it’s long past time for him to step aside.

You can bet, if drones had been around in 1862, Lincoln would have used them.

Well, Paul, when the second Civil War begins, the whole of America WILL be a battlefield, and the laws of war WILL Apply. Becareful how you word your statements. The problem isn't one of the entire world being a battlefield, but one where this Pres__ent believes he can order the death of Americans on his word alone.

My thoughts were exactly the same.

Read what I wrote more carefully (”No one in the Bonus Army was shot or killed in the eviction”).

Police shot and killed two Bonus Marcher’s in a building prior to the eviction by the Army under MacArthur. That altercation lead to the decision to clear them out which happened later.

The Wkipedia link you provide describes this.

As I wrote, tear gas was used in the eviction and a baby did die to to exposure to the gas.

But the army did not fire upon or kill Bonus Marchers.

Many years ago in arguing with Chinese communist supporters I read a lot on this, including a book written by one of the March organizers, written in the 30’s to find out what actually happened.

Communists spread disinformation that the US Army fired and slaughtered these veterans and I wanted to find out what truth there was in their attempts to create moral equivalence between the US and communists regimes and what happened in events such as the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre.

McCain is EVERY BIT the enemy of America, as much as Obama is.

In 2008, we were given a choice.

One one hand, we could vote for bitter, nearly-insane lyng marxist idealogue, and a murdering friend of the Police State and tyrannical oppression.

Or, we could vote for Obama.

You pretty much nailed it. I still honestly believe many voted for Sarah Palin, had she not been on the ticket McCain would have been defeated in a landslide.

If your post was a confession and I was the priest I’d say you need to do 5 Hail Marys, watch the ENTIRE Rand Paul filibuster then watch those two idiots McCain and Graham respond yesterday.If after that you understand how off base you are then you are lost.

Graham and McCain arranged the AMNESTY Diner with Obama.

Rand paul took the Oxygen from their dog and pony photo opportunity.

McCain and Graham are just two douche bag attention whores.
