Sen. Lindsey Graham Disrespects President Obama By Calling Him a Scumbag

Source: PoliticusUSA

"Some guy said this about me yesterday on the left: The only reason I cared about this was because I have six tea party opponents. Well, if that’s true, I’m the biggest scumbag in America…The scumbags are the people in the White House who lied about this."

I just knew the republicans would come out screaming about "Benghazi" today when the
jobs report showed that the unemployment rate is going down.

Max Cleland is a decorated Vietnam War hero and triple amputee.

Lindsay Graham is a liar.
"In 1988, according to the Congressional daily newspaper,The Hill, Graham was describing himself on his website as an Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm veteran.
In reality, he never left South Carolina.
Graham responded: 'I have not told anybody I'm a combatant,' he said
'I'm not a war hero, and never said I was..I never intended to lie.
.If I have lied about my military record, I'm not fit to serve in Congress.'
'further noting that he never deployed."......(Wikipedia)

Benghazi:

Both the parent's of the killed former Navy SEAL and the father of Ambassodor
Stevens publicly asked that their son's deaths not be used for political gains and
that they died doing what they loved and serving the country.

I don't live there and don't care if you replace him with a Tea Bag King. It's your state and you will ultimately reap what you sow; but there is not much time left for the rest of the country to put up with your baggage. Go away and begone. Leave the rest of us alone.

Has been since they have been out of office. Democratic senators did not call them scumbags or the most appropriate murderers and war criminals in public.

I knew there was a double standard and a very low caliber of person in the congress when that man hollered "you lie" during the State of the Union and he was not thrown out of the building on the spot..

that Democrats are head and shoulders above Republicans when it comes to honesty and political discourse (and every other category, as well), and anyone who says otherwise, is telling some whoppers.

Theres plenty of examples of Dems calling Bush names. Hell, the Dems booed him during the STOU one year. Rep. Ellison compared Bush to Hitler in one instance I remember. Others used the Nazi reference, too. Harry Reid called Bush a liar.
I'm not defending Bush of course; and Cheney was just evil. But stuff like this has always gone both ways. I've always thought it was rude regardless. I've seen enough videos of foreign legislatures breaking out in fistfights to know I dont want it happening here. And the ruder we get, the closer THAT gets, IMO.

that I called him a blowjob to his face in a Nashua, New Hampshire hotel bar. That was after his date, a McClatchy reporter, winked at me. Total fraud for impeaching Clinton for not disclosing lurid details about his personal business. He's abused the American people long enough.
Given another chance, I might get really graphic with the twerp.

You might be getting yourself in to deep, just to destroy this president.....We now are hearing of news reports coming out that you conspired with a CBS news reporter, to fabricate a story on Benghazi, and then reported it as a factual report on all the Sunday Morning shows......when in reality, it was found to have many holes in it.....and now the reporter has been put on suspended leave, along with her producer for this fraud....
Maybe we should have some investigations into this little informational tidbit, Mr. Graham.....the sooner the better!

Other wise, shut the pie hole, and worry about the scandal that is eminent to come......and maybe you can relay this to Grandpa McCain too.....(You both are frauds!)
