Lindsey Graham Only Likes Gov’t Spying When It’s Not Used on Him

    This fagget should have been put in front of a firing squad a long time ago, along with both McCain and Feinstein who are all fine with the government spying on its citizens, just as long as they arent spying on them. 3 career political hacks who all believe the laws should only be applied to us little people.



    Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is very upset about government surveillance. Yes, that Lindsey Graham. Wait, what?

    Here’s the catch, because you knew there had to be one: He’s only upset about government surveillance techniques when they are allegedly utilized on his own staffers.

    In response to accusations that the Central Intelligence Agency has snooped on Senate computers, Graham went bonkers, telling reporters on Tuesday that “Heads should roll, people should go to jail if it’s true.”

    And in typical Lindsey Graham fashion, he found a new kind of war he can get down with: “If it is, the legislative branch should declare war on the CIA.”

    “This is Richard Nixon stuff,” he added. “This is dangerous to the democracy.”

    Graham’s comments come in addition to his Senate colleagues John McCain (R-AZ) and Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), both ardent defenders of current surveillance operations who somehow find it appalling the government would dare spy on them.

    So… protection against overzealous surveillance operations? “Good enough for me, but not for thee,” these senators seem to suggest.

    Person of Interest: "you are being watched. The government has a machine..."
     
  4. Only Democrats should be spied on, since they are more likely to harbour commies and terrorists. The GOP is clean and Christian through and through.

    And they used to think people who thought they were being watched were paranoid.

    I'm getting a kick out of watching these congress hypocrites scream now that it's them under the magnifying glass. When they thought it was just us, it was about national security, but now... One of only a very few stood out regarding the NSA, and one was Paul.

    The illusion that the political elite try to portray how they are like we the peasants has now been proven false beyond any shadow of a doubt, not that it was in any doubt among the politically aware. Normally one would have to look no further than their wealth, but this is forcing their hypocrisy to shine like the sun.

    Fuck Lindsey Graham.
     
  7. I could tolerate Graham if he came from Massachusetts maybe, but Sc is one of the reddest states. No excuse to have him there. They can do a lot better.

    Fla race: Repub - 48.5% Dem - 47% Libertarian - 5%

    I won't be holding my breath for this to change anytime soon. Not until you take ALL the money out first.

    BTW, did you read that McCain is running in '16 for another term?
