Sen. Lindsey Graham's (R-SC) latest campaign ad focuses on how he's fought President Barack Obama on Benghazi, Iran, and "radical Islam."
The ad, which Graham's campaign released Monday, features clips of Graham criticizing the president on his handling of Iran and the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.
"He stands up for America and our troops, challenging the president
asking the tough questions on Iran, Benghazi, and radical Islam," the narrator in the new ad said. "In a dangerous world where the only guarantee of peace is strength, Sen. Lindsey Graham stands strong."
Graham is a regular talking head on TV representing the Republican Party's dissatisfaction with Obama on foreign affairs. Graham seemed to take it to the next level recently though when he blamed the crisis in Ukraine to the president's handling of Benghazi. He later defended that accusation.

(14,449 posts)First time by voting him out in the primary which will make the general Senate race easier for us to win. For some reason, South Carolina voters likes this guy. We must help to kick him off the ballot by voting in the Republican primary. I think it is an open primary so it can be done.

(255 posts)Most of the people down here DO like him. One of his opponents (all right-wing nut jobs) in the primary questioned his sexuality last week. But that's an old story. He'll easily win the primary, IMO. But, SC DEM's don't have much to offer regardless. SC is crazy enough to elect a right-wing R over any candidate the DEM's have right now. Hope I'm wrong. Can't stand that little weasel! And how did he become such an expert in military and foreign affairs? Hanging out with McCain?? He makes me ill .... but it's South Carolina!!
