WASHINGTON — Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham criticized his party's presidential candidates and congressional leaders for increasingly advocating an international isolationism that he said repudiates the legacies of Presidents Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush.
The South Carolina senator mocked seven GOP presidential candidates' discussion of foreign policy in Monday night's New Hampshire debate as "shallow" and full of "platitudes."

"I was very disappointed that no one articulated why it matters if we win or lose in Afghanistan," Graham said. "No one articulated what would happen if (Libyan strongman Moammar) Gadhafi stays in power. So we have Republicans talking about stopping our efforts in Libya."

Without naming him, Graham ridiculed GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain, former chief executive of the Godfather's Pizza chain, for having said in the debate Monday evening that he wouldn't allow a Muslim to serve in his Cabinet.
"Everybody is for making sure we vet Muslims in the Cabinet," Graham said. "That is the least of my concerns. My concern is: Will the Republican Party come to grips with what it takes to win the very long struggle with radical Islam?"

“”So we have Republicans talking about stopping our efforts in Libya.” “Our”???”
You’ve said it! I didn’t give my approval for Obama’s mess. Obama is breaking the law, which is nothing new. He should be impeached. He has not received Congress approval for being in Libya. By the way, can somebody tell me why on earth he has our military there in the first place?
Hey RINO Graham, you make me sick. You attack Herman Cain regarding his answer about Sharia law and not having Muslims in his administration, but he is right. Most sane people agree, you jackbutt.
I agree with Ann Barnhardt. Lindsey Graham, you’re a jackbutt!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qeyrp-V3Jvc
As usual, pole smoker Graham surfaces to help the Enemy...
What a dork...
The Demorats and liberals screamed about Bush’s war in Iraq.
Now we have the Hopey Change man and we are still in Iraq, In Afghanistan, and now 4 new wars in Egypt,Libya, Syria, and Yemen and pretty soon the big one in israel.
That kind of Hope and Chage I don’t need
“...That kind of Hope and Chage I don’t need...”
The only ones that DO need it are worthless parasites to begin with.
They’re NOT my Countrymen.
“He’s awful, not only sucking up to Obama at every turn, but stabbing other Republicans in the back whenever he can.”
Well, probably acquired skill at that in some D.C. bathhouse.
