Lindsey Graham roars out of the debate gates

Hour 1: All Lindsey

Between the first Republican debate and this one, Lindsey Graham got fired up. Over the course of the first hour of the warm-up/undercard/kiddie-table debate, Graham landed a lot of the strongest punches -- and was rewarded for it with people heading to Google to learn more about him.

Google offers minute-by-minute data on what people are searching for, and during that first hour, it was Graham, whose first debate was roundly described as sleepy.

I think he going to bounce in the polls unfortunately.

[SilentBull]

The guy is terrible! He's embarrassing on stage. He was so awkward when he was arguing with Santorum on Immigration.

The Lindsey Graham show turned up in Simi Valley, California, during tonight's CNN Republican presidential debate.

After a flat performance in August at the first GOP debate, the South Carolina senator lit up the crowd at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library during CNN's undercard debate, lashing his opponents with sharp barbs and dropping zingers that brought roars of approval.

"That's the first thing I'm going to do as president: We're going to drink more," he said.

Graham also trashed Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton in eyebrow-raising terms.

"Where the hell were you" during the Benghazi, Libya, attacks, Graham fumed when he was asked about his past praise for Clinton.

What a load.

Lindsey Graham shines at debate for seeking more wars.

[William Tell]

LOL! Drink more we shall.

[SilentBull]

I can't believe these people are saying this. Did they watch that awkward back and forth between him and Santorum? Graham was embarrassing.

[klamath]

Yeaw he is going to get a bump.

Sludge and cockroaches exoskeletons shine if the sunlight reflects just right.

Sludge and cockroaches exoskeletons shine if the sunlight reflects just right.

And broken glass and flaky mica deposits, too. Not to mention fool's gold.

[TaftFan]

He did, other than the exchange he lost with Jindal.

Doing well does not mean he was right, either.

[Brian4Liberty]

The entire media is pushing the neoconservatives as hard as they possibly can. The MiniTrue MIC media never rests. The biggest neocons in the race are Fiorina, Rubio and Graham. And those are the three being pushed the hardest today.

And...this is why I refuse to watch the MSM commentary on the debates. Not because I don't think it will affect peoples' perception (it obviously does), but because I don't need to get my intelligence insulted. Granted, the fact that they are pushing Graham means they are not pushing Santorum, so given the wide array of terrible candidates, there is generally an upside to every decision that the MSM makes in regards of support at this point.

Jindal did the best out of the lower 4 and I'd be surprised if out of the 4 he isn't the last one to drop out.

[Ronin Truth]

Was it pretty much a gay sort of roar?

[luctor-et-emergo]

Was it pretty much a gay sort of roar?

Nah, it was "BOOTS ON THE GROUND".

[BGfree]

It's obvious that the only reason that Graham is allowed to participate in even the little debate is so that he can stump for more war for Israel. He's a tool of the Israel lobby.

[dannno]

Nah, it was "BOOTS ON THE GROUND".

That's gay.

Let me recap Lindsey's first hour, in case anyone missed it:

"Gotta kill them there or soon they'll be here. Hiding under your bed. In your closet. Wearing your mother's panties! Blowing you kisses from behind a mirror!!! DIE! DIE, you arab bastards, DIE! You beautiful little Allah-loving cuties! AARGH!"

Yea well I guess you can put sprinkles on a turd but that does not mean anyone could eat it I hope.

Lindsey Graham shines at debate for seeking more wars.

Din't see him in debate tonight, was he in "losers debate" before prime time?
In any case, he has to talk up war hysteria since many jobs - and by extension votes - in his home state depend on increased military spending. But can someone inform him that last time he was busy attacking "Al Qaeda in Iraq" 2003-2008, this was the end result in America:





Now the real news:

Rand Paul: "There Will Always Be A Bush Or A Clinton If You Want To Go Back To Iraq"

"If you want boots on the ground, and you want them to be our sons and daughters you've got 14 other choices."
"There will always be a Bush or Clinton for you if you want to go back to war in Iraq," said Sen. Rand Paul.
"This first war was a mistake and I am not sending our sons and daughtes back to Iraq.

Even today they are here. In our schools building clock-bombs by boys named Ahmed

Give me a break. If anybody came out of that thing they called a 2nd tier debate looking better it was Jindal. I wonder how many MSM producers Graham had to "service" in order to get this kind of favorable coverage.
