Lindsey Graham vying to be Obama's Secretary of Defense?

[purplechoe]

go to about 6:30 into the video - Christopher Horner says that it's the word going around in South Carolina that Lindsey Graham is vying to be Obama's Secretary of Defense to replace Robert Gates. That's why he's pushing for carbon taxes to be in good graces with the administration. :eek:

my first thought:


"oh fuck please god no!"

[TheBlackPeterSchiff]

That would be horrible.

[RSLudlum]

LOL...The Twilight Zone episode we're all living in right now has no end to it!!!

[TCE]

That would be horrible.

I don't think that would be so bad. Robert Gates has said time and time again that he supports Pre-Emptive war. So, how much worse could Graham be? If anything, we could get a legit Conservative in South Carolina, Jim Demint's home state, and have another legit Conservative. I don't see the problem.

Open senate seat. This is great news if true.

[NYgs23]

Excellent. It will get him out of the Senate and Mark Sanford will appoint his replacement.

Graham would probably apply constant pressure to invade every middle eastern country but Israel. Though I don't think Obama is THAT stupid. So is Gates resigning? I hadn't heard that.

[freedoms-light]

He may support preemptive war..... On Ron Paul He hates us!

[Liberty Star]

Wont be surprised if this is part of a bigger push to end DADT policy, he seems to be one of the few neoconservative GOP'ers who is pro war as well as gay rights:



Gay House members say gay-friendly bills are near

By LISA LEFF (AP) – 6 days ago

SAN FRANCISCO — Two of Congress's three openly gay members said Saturday that the U.S. House is poised to pass bills to provide health coverage for the same-sex partners of gay federal workers and to protect all gay and transgender employees from job discrimination.

Speaking to an international conference of gay politicians in San Francisco, U.S. Reps. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., and Jared Polis, D-Colo., said they expect a domestic partner benefits bill to come up for a vote by the end of the year and the employment bill to reach the floor early in 2010.

The lawmakers said they are also confident that the House will include in the annual military spending bill next year a provision to repeal the law that bans gays from serving in the U.S. military

But on the whole, he could be tad bit better SoD pick than Joe Liberman as liberal as Lindsey is.

Gates<Graham. I have not heard Gates say one thing that is in anyway liberty-leaning. Graham can only be equal or better.

In the video he says that Gates is on his way out. Lets not forget that he was a hold over from the Bush administration. Usually these guys are replaced when the new administrations come in.

whoa...same brainwaves at your house and mine.

Easier said than done. Sanford is in the hot seat right now and both sides are applying the heat. He just skated by impeachment and now censuring him is being discussed. Not to mention, his wife Jenny, just publicly announced their divorce. He may actually be on the way out ie resign. But nobody really knows.

Flimsey Grahmnesty may have orally serviced Obama like Larry Sinclair did.

Obama and Graham are both homosexual
