Lindsey Graham: I Love Bombs, NOT People

GRAHAM: Well, all i can say is the commander-in-chief thought — came up with the idea of sequestration, destroying the military and putting a lot of good programs at risk. It is my belief — take Obamacare and put it on the table. You can make $86,000 a year in income and still get a government subsidy under Obamacare. Obamacare is destroying health care in this country and people are leaving the private sector, because their companies cannot afford to offer Obamacare and if you want to look at ways to find $1.2 trillion in savings over the next decade, look at Obamacare, don’t destroy the military and cut blindly across the board. There are many ways to do it but the president is the commander-in-chief and on his watch we’ll begin to unravel the finest military in the history of the world, at a time when we need it most. The Iranians are watching us, we are allowing people to be destroyed in Syria, and i’m disappointed in our commander-in-chief.

filibuster.

You do not have to do it on the first day of Congress, that is a lie, perpetuated by the MSM. You can change the Senate rules anytime

I doubt that Democrats really want to do that though. Even assuming that article wrong, the Democrats in the Senate under Reid did not get rid of the filibuster when they could have. Worse, we were told by the majority leader he did not have the votes.

Why were we not allowed to see who was for it and who was against it?

He's got a partisan opinion against a bunch of calculations made by a joint team.

Only an idiot would listen to that.

ACA (Obamacare) has nothing to do with sequestration. Nothing! Stopping one doesn't move the other in any direction.

He's blowing partisan smoke. Don't be an idiot.

i imagine the military's waste could fund 'Obamacare' for generations.

i just love they way they keep repeating that the sequester was Obama's idea. lying motherfuckers, nothing less.

Not to mention the wish for violence. There are better ways of expressing yourself than violence and sexist insults.

It would probably be best to not do that.
