    Graham is still a clown. Never met a foreign land he didn't want to intervene in. No matter what the cost. Modern day RINO.

    Not saying I disagree with you about Graham, but I also don't disagree with what he's saying in this instance.

    I don't know how Graham can, on the one hand, want to have a notable US presence in every unstable, war torn land around the world. And yet at the same time, he expects it all to be flowers and kumbaya. No matter how many times it proves to be fallacy, he thinks the US simply being there is all that's needed for peace and stability. It's unfortunate that this sort of thing happens. But the politicizing it is pretty sickening, and most of America is fed up with it. Only the wing nuttiest of neocons really think this is something worth politicizing. That's not to say lessons can't be learned and that mistakes weren't made. But it's still pretty pathetic and transparent just what's going on here.

    He said losing a SENATE seat. Like in Delaware and Nevada in 2010. And Indiana and Missouri in 2012.

    Edit: I meant "Indiana and Missouri in 2012"

    Missouri Democrat Claire McCaskill won her Senate seat in 2006, and Republican Roy Blunt won to take over Kit Bond's seat in 2010.

    Pot roast?

    What, a bunch of C-listers telling tales and jokes about marijuana?

    "Dude, remember that time we were hanging out, and I got so hungry . . .?"

    Sad day for Vietnam vets. Our new Secretary of State thinks you're war criminals who cut off ears and attached electric cables to genitals

    I see what you are saying, but I don't think the Administration is being very forthcoming here. Fast and Furious is more along the lines of what you are saying...a political witch hunt that really hasn't gained any traction and is not going to. Benghazi, on the other hand, is a problem...even for people like me who is willing to give the Administration the benefit of the doubt.

    They have been trying to run out the clock on this since it happened. They lied about it to the American people by blaming the video and will not say, no matter what, who came up with the talking points that were put out there by Susan Rice and Jay Carney. Something smells and they are lying about it...that's pretty clear. To say this is "pathetic" and insinuate it is just a political witch hunt is not fair...four people died, including two Marines, and we still don't know what happened.

    Tell me this, if there is nothing to this why haven't the people that were saved from the embassy in Benghazi testified yet? Where are they? I know you are a Democrat and want to believe nothing wrong was done, but you are either lying to yourself or foolish if you think there is nothing untoward going on with Benghazi. This is why one side can't take the other side seriously...the blind refusal to admit something very wrong may have been done. Look at the situation without bias, I think you will see where I am coming from.

    Fast and Furious is one thing, this is entirely different.

    Benghazi and Fast and Furious are happy diversions for the administration. They have sent the Republicans off on a wild goose chase and have diverted eyes off the economy. In the political chess match Obama and his advisers have always been one step ahead of the competition.
