… FOR SPYING ON LAWMAKERS
What’s good for the gander is apparently NOT good for the goose …
U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham – one of the leading defenders of the federal government’s domestic spy apparatus – went into full freakout mode this week upon discovering that he, too, was being spied on.
In response to reports that U.S. President Barack Obama’s Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) hacked into a computer network used by lawmakers to probe the agency’s enhanced interrogation techniques, Graham blew a gasket.
“Heads should roll, people should go to jail if it’s true,” Graham said. “If it is, the legislative branch should declare war on the CIA.”
Wait …. isn’t this the same guy who said he was “glad” the federal government was secretly tracking, stealing and storing your private phone calls, text messages, emails, internet search histories and online purchases?
Why yes … yes it is.
Ready to spot the difference?
First, here’s Graham responding to YOU being spied on …

(Editor’s note: Graham loves to say he’s not “talking to terrorists,” but in reality he’s doing that and then some).
And now here’s him responding to the government spying on HIM …

Yeah …
Ordinarily, this is the point in a story when we rail indignantly at the rank hypocrisy of self-serving, special interest-fed career politicians like Graham who are nothing but whores for America’s military industrial complex.
Of course this hypocrisy is so abundantly clear it requires no railing …
At least not from us … Graham’s opponents in the June 10 Republican primary, however, obviously weren’t going to let this pitch sail by.
“This takes hypocrisy to a whole new level,” Graham opponent Nancy Mace wrote on her Facebook page. “Sen. Lindsey Graham needs to be as strong defending our rights as he is about defending his rights.”

HEH! HEH! HEH!
What’s good for the goose may as well be good for the gander. Let them spy on the ones giddy about spying on others.
I’ll be waiting for the nude photos of Feinstein when she was 40 years old….
The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice.
He is a true politician and, in case it isn’t clear, I mean that to be an insult.
Is he worried they may find the pictures of him with either little boys or a dead man in bed together?
Perhaps Johanna E. Hoover isn’t really dead….
He’s playing the field – an attractive guy (he just *radiates* southern hillbilly charm) – he’s probably got a good stack of cash – probably drives something racy… maybe a souped-up SUV or a late-model Volvo… his house is probably an antebellum knock-off of Scarlett’s mansion (before the war)…
There’s probably a line of blue-hairs snaking around the block waiting for an audience with the right eligible Senator from South Carolina.
I guess we are about to find out which senators and representatives are owned by which agency. I had a feeling Snowden and all this has been a border skirmish in the CIA vs NSA war. This just about proves it. Graham and Feinstien team NSA.
A US Marshal ( a former sweetheart of my sister) told me about his experiences in DC where the Marshals, FBI, and Secret Service “spied” (professional jealousy) on each other. He also told me some tales about his adventures in other countries. He was a cool dude.
There was some similar shit going down on the Petraeus affair as well. They are all dirty bastards looking to expand their realm of influence and will knife each other in the back when the blow is mortal.
Why does Lindsey Graham want to declare war on everyone?
He hasn’t gotten to the “F’s” yet — has he, Mr. Folks?
Ya’ll may be wrong about Lindsey. Who’s the brunette?
Some hot pol from New England…Conserative or not…I’d bang the TEA out of her.
Kelley Ayotte, RINO-NH. Ain’t she a peach?
The Republican men use Ayotte standing in the background for almost all of their photo-ops – but they rarely allow her to speak. Good old good old boy, Republicans!
Hey FITS: You and Mace are: TAKING YOUR EYES OFF THE BALL…..
Republican David Jolly defeated Democrat Alex Sink on Tuesday in a Tampa-area House district where President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul got its first test ahead of November’s midterm elections and both sides spent millions auditioning national strategies.
With almost 100 percent of the vote counted, Jolly had 48.5 percent of the vote to Sink’s 46.7 percent. Libertarian Lucas Overby had 4.8 percent. It is an evenly divided district had been considered a toss-up.
TELL YOUR IDIOT LIBERAL-TARIANS TO BUTT AND AND QUIT TRYING TO ELECT DISASTER-PARTY DEMOCRATS…
Wow! Almost 3 precentage points…Let the cock sucking begin!
I don’t care if it’s ONE F*#king VOTE…When we get the Senate, House and White House back…we can take no prisoners…show NO mercy…we must exact REVENGE, as your lord-god instructed you to do….
We will seize DC to force the people we elect to do our bidding. The bidding of the contributors…NOT YOURS, and the takers, anymore.
We played nice, and you cut the throats of Americans for your own selfish and anti-American, corrupt schemes.
This WIN is BIG…and hopefully signals a VAST turn-around for our country….
Takers? Hahaha! Comng from the unemployed man on Medicaid typing shit all day instead of using that “Journalism” degree to find a damn job…
Takers… pkawk.. Takers.. .pkawk…
A plumber shows up at the apartment, but the client is gone. The plumber knocks on the door, and a parrot on the other side of the door says “Who is it?” and the plumber says nonchalantly, “the plumber.” After a few moments, the plumber says “I’m with ABC plumbing and I’m here about the leak, are you going to let me in?” There’s a pause, and the parrot says “Who is it?” The plumber, getting upset, says “The plumber!” Another pause, and the parrot says “Who is it?” The plumber’s neck veins are distended and throbbing, and he screams “THE PLUMBER!” whereupon he grabs his chest, collapses, and dies on the spot.
The client comes home a few minutes later, sees the dead man.. and in shock opens the door… he wonders aloud “Who is *that*?” After a short pause, the parrot says “the plumber.”
I sure do provoke your ignorant, leftwing @$$ don’t I?…And it’s exactly why I was hired to do what I do now…
And looking at the democrat elect numbers, I’m winning…and will get paid even more as I succeed…LMAO…
The new Nate fucking Silver!! You go girl…
Happy Fits and Mr. Rich saw your potential. Lol…Let’s grab a beer after work, shall we?
When we get the Senate, House and White House back
Ah, the illustrious “when” makes me, well, smirk. Careful, T, at the rate the GOP is going, that may very well take longer than any of our lifetimes.
Get your head out your @$$. Obama is F*#*king up so bad, it’s a lot easier than it idiots like you will ever believe.
Mr. Tango: Just exactly where do you stand on the issue of domestic surveillance? That is the subject of this thread.
He stands near his favorite alcoholic beverage.
heh – heh! very good, Max, that’s a new one for me…
He’s just pissed that they have the goods on him now. He’s getting exactly what he deserves, homosexual or not.
Again, the laws are for the little people…not them.
Don’t you just love It when the rat gets caught in his own trap. He is a United States Senator, he is above the law, the law is for the little people. We can do better. RESTORE HONOR VOTE CONNOR.
In the reign of Queen Isabella 29th of August 1483, it was noted that a court jester espoused the notions that the spies of Castille has been watching the financial flows from the New World. Many members of the Royal Court were aghast, namely one particular administrator named Lindsara Grahamosta….!! His antics distracted the “Portugesian” observers as well as the citizens of Rhonda. Queen Isabella and her court were very amused and realized that King Ferdinand knew how to use a “joker”..!!
The Queen dismissed Lindsara by calling for a vote of citizen confidence.
My how history repeats itself……….

Dear Captain of SPAWAR Atlantic………..dare to wager that the missing Malaysian Airliner will not be found until right before Senator Graham and TIm Scott and Jim Clyburn all three are polled to LOSE their elections..!?!
If Wil Folks was a “media bookie” ….what would his odds be set at….?
Simply put, anyone who follows Graham – and has done so for the 2 to 5 years knows, that he is one psychotic sick in the head two faced lying sack of shit – PERIOD! He is one of the reasons I dropped the Republican party and have turned independent. Can’t stand the man. Especially with the way he advocated for criminal illegal aliens (plenty of youtube videos of him talking down to voters who are against his bs amnesty crap).
two faced lying sack of shit

In other words, a Southern politician.
