1. Graham, Sessions and Cornyn were hillarious today in the debate on the Collins/Nelson amendment.

OTT would be a big understatement. Cornyn even ran out the "New Deal" boogeyman.

2. How long has Lindsey Graham been on the government dole?
He was a JAG before so he has been collecting his own brand of welfare for some many years.

3. I believe he was a JAG in the AF Reserves,
which would mean he was paid only when called up for active duty, generally one wk-end/mo and 2weeks/yr.
I can't stand Graham, but your assertion that military service is analogus to welfare is offensive.

4. I think your assertion that I in anyway was trying to be offensive
is offensive. If you can't understand my point just leave it alone.

5. Actually, I didn't say you were trying to be offensive.
If I misunderstood your meaning, I apologize. Perhaps you could explain.

6. Socialism
The military is a prime example of socialism.

7. Worked well for me, at least.
I was active duty for 22yrs. It had it's positives and negatives, but at least, we never had to turn anyone away from the hospitals/clinics because they didn't have insurance or couldn't afford to pay.

9. Please do not call him a puppet.
The proper term is "gunsel."
