Not....Our....Country.
I was watching "Meet the Press" and Lindsey Graham just made the ridiculous pledge to advocate for permanent bases in Afghanistan. This after complaining about deficits and debt.
Man..
MR. GREGORY: You talk about the budget, you talk about spending. How will you vote on the debt ceiling? Will you vote to raise it? Which is, which is a vote that'll come up in relatively short order.
SEN. GRAHAM: Right. Well, to not raise the debt ceiling could be a default of the United States' bond and Treasury obligations. That would be very bad for, for the position of the United States in the world at large. But this is an opportunity to make sure the government is changing its spending ways. I will not vote for the debt ceiling increase until I see a plan in place that will deal with our long-term debt obligations, starting with Social Security, a real bipartisan effort to make sure that Social Security stays solvent, adjusting the age, looking at means tests for benefits. On the spending side, I'm not going to vote for debt ceiling increase unless we go back to 2008 spending levels, cutting discretionary spending.
SEN. GRAHAM: I hope so. I know that Speaker Boehner is going to produce spending limitation bills every day. But the question for the Republican Party, for the tea party, for the Democratic Party, beyond discretionary spending, are we willing to look at the debt commission's suggestions in entitlement reform and begin to enact those reforms before it's too late? I hope the--that, that this new Congress will do something the other Congresses have never done, and that is seriously look at entitlement reform by adjusting the age and means assessing benefits, including Medicare Part D. Obama health care needs to be repealed and replaced. (Yeah....Good Luck with THAT!) But the Republican Party created Medicare Part D, a prescription drug entitlement that's already gotten out of control. I hope we'll put that on the table for reform.
Great idea, and obviously needed. Sallow's aint have a link, so delete his, mine's better.

WASHINGTON A leading GOP lawmaker on U.S. military policy says he wants American officials to consider establishing permanent military bases in Afghanistan.
Sen. Lindsay Graham of South Carolina says that having a few U.S. air bases in Afghanistan would be a benefit to the region and would give Afghan security forces an edge against the Taliban.

Only if they are armed with nukes. Otherwise they don't have a snow balls chance in hell.
Right...Now we have "sensible moderates" pimping for neocon empire.?
He is a right wing Republican sent to the congress by right wing people.
You really buy that??? He is less Conservative than Specter, than McCain, than Ed Koch. Good one! You had me there for a minute!
why? because he's not an extremist like michelle bachmann and her ilk?
or is it because he's actually civil and plays well with others occasionally?

Back when he was on, with Big Jim Webb, I thought Lindsey was gonna jump on Webb & scratch-his-eyes-out (but, Lindsey had more-than-likely just had his nails done)!!!!

"Isolationism" is a term coined by progressive/neocon types (virtually indistinguishable from one another) in the early part of the last century, to disparage those who didn't want intervention in wars that were none of our business and America going down the road to empire.Right...Now we have "sensible moderates" pimping for neocon empire.why? because he's not an extremist like michelle bachmann and her ilk?

oh. i don't agree with the neo-con thing.
but it's naive to think you can disassociate yourself from the rest of the world and myob. that's just childish.
and given that if you look at the people Intense mentioned, it wasn't because they were isolationists. in fact they were even more neo-con.

Judging from the results of America trying to be the world's policeman/military babysitter, the "isolationists" were and continue to be right.
Now, douchebag necon Graham wants to compound that error.
