    Oh. Lindsey Graham just linked Benghazi to Ukraine. This is why I stopped paying attention to politics.

It started with Benghazi. When you kill Americans and nobody pays a price, you invite this type of aggression. #Ukraine

Putin basically came to the conclusion after Benghazi, Syria, Egypt - everything Obama has been engaged in - he's a weak indecisive leader.

Despite his status as a faux conservative, up until now, we could at least commend his persistence on Benghazi. But this is too damn much. He’s officially jumped the shark, and people on all sides of the aisle are slamming their heads against the wall:

GOP politicians know the Russian invasion of Crimea doesn't have to do with Russian interests. It's 'cause Benghazi. https://twitter.com/GrahamBlog/status/440920315292811264 …

Wow. Lindsey Graham said the reason why the whole Russia/Ukraine thing is happening is because of Benghazi. WTF. Out of touch.

I think it might have started before Benghazi, @GrahamBlog, but I have to double-check the date on that invasion of Georgia

I don't understand.  Grahamnesty has been a big supporter of this administration until now.  OOOOOhhhh - it's campaign season.  Now I see! :whistle:

He has campaign ads running all day on Fox and it is annoying.  He is the only one here running any campaign ads.  :banging:

He's dumber than  box of rocks.  For instance, at a town hall parents were yelling about Obama core and he said I don't know what common core is, but I'll write a bill to get rid of it.
