The Hill ^ | May 24, 2013 | Julian Pecquet

Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Friday offered a preemptive defense of President Obama's nominee to head European affairs at the State Department amid concerns about her role in the Benghazi talking points.

Other vocal critics of the administration's response to last year's terrorist attack – notably Sens. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and James Inhofe (R-Okla.) – may yet decide to block her long-expected nomination.

They were a fly in W’s ointment - fought everything he wanted to do

Here's my thought on this. We know his opposing Bush that immediately got McCain lots of air time to spread his venom - so he throws his hat in the ring to run in 'o8 because he believed his own press, 'he must be like', he didn't get much $$ for his campaign, getting ready to drop out and then there was a major influx of money (soros), mccain got the nomination - and it was only to 'give' obama - America on a silver platter.

Hillary 'the long time favored' was squeezed out - as part of their plan was to create a racial war, also/Divide and conquer quicker while barry was one of NO alliance towards America - to add to the quick fall to America. Now since mccain chose someone who most did not know - as he wouldn't use his friends for such a task - but in their dark sinister plan, light came forth that they couldn't put out since - Sarah Palin. He knew what he was going to do, so he asked Sarah to promise if they lose - that he needs her support in his upcoming election. He knew Sarah's word is as good as gold - mccain wanted some assurance - as he didn't want to lose it all.

Which led to the liberal head O put in place at the IRS helping with this 'new' problem. McCain is now helping for 'that choice' of his. They have his file and they have the media to bring mccain to light and he knows he wouldn't be able to fight it whatever 'rumor' surfaced.

The voters keep sending the same old codgers back — because those old ones know how to get the pork.

Plus McCain uses his wife's money to destroy any challengers. You could say he's been using "The Chicago Way" since before Obama.

WTH is wrong with McCain and Graham. I notice they seem to be joined at the hip. Their names are always mentioned together. They need to be booted OUT!


They are both being blackmailed by the same guy?

That would be like a world without pain, a world without plague, a world without death, a world without fear.

I can’t understand the morons in Arizona who keep re-electing this maniacal, insane, nasty old bastard to office.
