South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham does not plan to ease up on his campaign to stall President Barack Obama's national security nominees. On Wednesday, Graham called on Democrats to join him in seeking more information about details surrounding the deadly attack on an American compound in Benghazi, Libya, in September.
"If this was a Republican president, I gauran-damn-tee ya there'd be a lot of Democrats doing a lot more than I'm doing. And you know what? They probably should," Graham said at a Capitol Hill press conference. "I think Democrats had no problem doing that with Bush and, quite frankly, they did the country a service by probing into failures. I'm going to do the same."
Graham has been a vocal opponent of Obama's choice of John Brennan to head the CIA and former Nebraska Sen. Chuck Hagel to be defense secretary, saying he would vote to continue debating their confirmations in the Senate. Last weekend Graham suggested he would place a "hold" on the nominationsSenate procedure used to stall nominees or legislationbut Majority Leader Harry Reid on Tuesday said he would reject the request.

(13,992 posts)It takes a majority vote. Tell Mr. McConnell that the choice is either Graham gets publicly taken to the woodshed, or the Senate Rules change to eliminate the filibuster completely.
Watch how fast Graham gets thrown under the bus.

I'm sorry, but I can't get the type big enough for the sentiment: BULL F*CKING SHIT!!!!
We just had 8 years of NOT DOING EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE DOING (OR WORSE), p*ssy Graham.
You Repugnif*cks have shown that, had the attacks of 9/11/2001 taken place under Al Gore, he would have been ousted by 2002 and pretty much martial law would have been put in place (at the insistence of the "liberally-biased media" .
