FROM 2012 INTO 2013 POLITICS THREAD

Re: THE 2012 POLITICS THREAD

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham on Sunday threatened to block votes on President Barack Obama's nominees for CIA director and defense secretary until the administration gives more information about the deadly attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

Graham and other Republican lawmakers have questioned Obama's response to the September 11, 2012, incident in which the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans were killed.

On CBS's "Face the Nation," Graham said he would invoke senatorial privilege to put a hold on votes on the nominee for CIA director, John Brennan, and on defense secretary nominee Chuck Hagel until the White House gives more information.

"I don't think we should allow Brennan to go forward for the CIA directorship, Hagel to be confirmed for secretary of defense, until the White House gives us an accounting," Graham said. "What did the president do?"

Republican Senator John McCain said on "Fox News Sunday" he was leaning against voting for Hagel, who like McCain is a Vietnam War veteran. In a nomination hearing last month, McCain had aggressively questioned Hagel about his opposition to the U.S. troop surge in Iraq during the George W. Bush administration.

McCain said, however, he would not support procedural moves, such as a filibuster, that would block the Hagel nomination.

Democrats have said they do not believe procedural efforts to block a vote on Hagel in the Senate will be successful. They also are confident they will have enough votes to get Hagel approved.

New book on Benghazi suggests that it was result of secret clandestine war. Story in Post mentions lack of sources but certainly any interesting possibility.

It's clear that their were a lot of survivors that can shed further light on the event.

No more PMs from you. I know you have some sort of weird crush on me, but it all ends now.

Your commands aren't worth the keystrokes you waste on them.

You have been relentlessly sending me PMs for days. Again. Often three or four in a row if I ignore the first, or don't answer it promptly. You've done it before, too. I told you repeatedly that if you don't want any more PMs from me, all you have to do is stop sending them. Your pathetic little games on the open threads and in PM are just getting old.

You used to at least be a somewhat interesting troll, capable of bringing some humor. Now you can't even do that.

Sorry for the off-topic crap, folks.

We have the right to murder "so called US citizens" abroad? With all due respect, Mr. President, that's bullshit.

Yes, actually I am. Unlike some people here, I don't care enough about what y'all think to lie.

It's not murder any more than shooting a Wehrmacht soldier was.

I'm here to entertain me.
Not going to put any actual effort into entertaining you.
I have about 100 PMs in my inbox and three-quarters of those are from you.
So you explain that to me, you little orc.

If you have 100 PMs from me, you little fraud, then I must have 140 from you. I've sent, at most, one that wasn't a response to you and you know it.

I get it. All you really have is making goofy stuff up and hoping people buy into it. I just think you owe it to us all to at least be a little entertaining next time.

Re: THE 2012 POLITICS THREAD

I think you owe us a little class after your tiresome act on this site. Maybe an apology to the group, as well.
Do you have anything to add to the subject of the thread?
Any time you want to contribute would be splendid.
I just counted them - 77 PMs to a hetero married man, from you, since Dec. 30. That's sad.

You actually counted? Man, you do need a life.

If I really sent 77, then I'd put the estimate on the number you sent me at over 110. So, why is a heterosexual married man, as you define yourself, so obsessed with sending me messages and then counting the replies? Let's not forget the times you've sent me three or four in a row, each more desperate and confrontational than the last, when I've ignored you. It really makes me wonder.

You are trolling. You are yanking this thing well off topic and you and I both know that was your goal. Just don't waste your time lying and claiming otherwise. Everybody here knows better.
