Lindsey Graham is Lying Again

Think Progress catches Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SuCk) lying.

"Well, all i can say is the commander-in-chief thought — came up with the idea of sequestration, destroying the military and putting a lot of good programs at risk."

Obama did not come up with the idea of sequestration. And the sequester will not destroy the military.

It's like they have to start off with the scariest bunch of BS they can think of to get all the wingnut ears to perk up. Er? Destroy the military? Take my guns? Wind up like Greece? Smoking gun might be a mushroom cloud?

Keep talking, wingnuts.

Senator Jon Kyl is a liar, again

#notintendedtobeafactualstatement

"I note that in his response to today's Supreme Court ruling, President Obama called on Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform. I also note that the bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform bill I helped draft in 2007 was killed -- in part -- by then-Senator Obama."--Senator Jon Kyl

I guess it's a good thing Senator Kyl is retiring, because he seems to be losing it.

Senator Obama voted for the bill.

As you can see at that same link, Senator Kyl voted to filibuster the bill.

So, not only did Obama vote for the bill Kyl says Obama voted against, but Kyl voted against the bill he says he was for.

Ergo, Senator Jon Kyl is a liar. Again.
