GOP Senator Lindsey Graham Vows To Follow Leader Of Another Nation Instead Of His Own President

[calimary]

47. Never said Israel was "the enemy." Not once in there.

But we do have other "enemies." North Korea. Iran. And others that aren't so much recognized nations - as they are collectives or groups of radicals within those nations. ISIS comes to mind in whatever country/countries it operates. And I'm not sure you'd consider Russia that much of a friend with a clear adversary like Putin in charge. I'm dubious about it, too.

But the "aid and comfort to the enemy," I think, applies as far as hostile groups and individuals who do wish us harm. Any time our leader is insulted and lambasted and defied and name-called and lied about and mischaracterized and misrepresented and portrayed as illegitimate - that certainly would "aid and comfort" to anyone who wishes us ill. I gave Putin as an example. Who wouldn't love to see the pile-on with that guy at the very bottom? And if it's internal - from within his own government - so much the sweeter. It would strongly suggest his leadership is unstable, on the rocks, even perhaps on its way out.

It used to be that there was a certain professional deference in place among political foes at the highest level of our government. "Politics stops at the water's edge." Well, it doesn't apply anymore, certainly not with THIS President. The GOP tramples all over his name and his position every chance they get - and to every open ear they see. I'm sure if push came to shove, they'd be cuddling up with Putin himself if they thought it'd weaken President Obama in the eyes of the world (certainly of this nation).

It is NOT a waste of time to bring up "Treason." I say, based on their behavior toward this President, all bets are off, and all is fair in politics and war. Especially if it puts republi-CONS on the defensive.

As LBJ would say - "make 'em deny it."
