We know Graham is an idiot, he’s proven it repeatedly. Here’s the real story - He knows he has lost the support of the conservatives. He s so out of touch he thinks a “bash the Russkis” policy will win them back. What he doesn’t understand is that he and McCain have drifted so far to the left, we conservatives have more respect for Putin than we have for those two.

He’s just an irrelevant gasbag in desperate search of a clue.

I also suspect that any athlete who went might encounter long, mysterious delays when time came to renew their passport.

Can some one from South Carolina please claim this village idiot, and send him someplace where he can practice his stupidity and not harm or annoy the adults.

Or the Constitution!

Excellent!

And, thank-you Mister Graham.

This is another foolish and ill-thought-out statement; and it will make a most useful sound bite for your GOP rival in the forthcoming, 2014 primary election for Senator in the great state of S.C.

Boycott: boy on a cot.

It’s raining men at the Olympics, Linda:
Pole-vaulting. Manhole hurdling.
Greco-Roman rumpwrangling.

Our athletes train hard for years, giving their whole lives to that one shining day in the sun to represent America. No politician should take that away for a gesture.

My guess is that there still must some 30% of the people in Russia who are communists and that 90% of the griping and complaining is coming from them.

I’ve considered and adopted a position of not voting for Graham ever again.

Your comment bears repeating. I am not an athlete but I know someone who possibly could have competed in 1980. Never got the chance again. It was heartbreaking.

Id like to know if there is one anti-amnesty Democrat running for US Senate somewhere. John Barrow has declined in Georgia.
