Lindsey Graham (@GrahamBlog) March 15, 2013This afternoon, conservatives’ favorite politician, U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, took to Twitter solicit questions. It’s still not clear who told him that would be a good idea:
This may not end well RT @GrahamBlog will be on Twitter for the next 15 minutes. Have a question for me?—

Here are some of the things we learned during the Q & A:

Colin Munro (@Colin_Munro1) March 15, 2013

@GrahamBlog Stones or Beatles?—

He did answer a question about Benghazi:
@GrahamBlog Are you making any progress on finding out what happened at #Benghazi?Are you going to let the admin get away with
this coverup?—
(@neighhay) March 15, 2013
.@neighhay Slowly but surely. Must hear from the #Benghazi survivors. — lg—

And he addressed a comment about Rand Paul:
@GrahamBlog Just to say "Good Job". Please don't be too hard on Rand Paul. You all need to stick together (kind of)—
Lynn Antink (@lantink) March 15, 2013
.@lantink Like Rand he's a sincere guy. Worked together on Medicare and SS. Difference views on national security/foreign policy. – lg—
Lindsey Graham (@GrahamBlog) March 15, 2013
But many Paul supporters weren’t exactly satisfied by that response.
@GrahamBlog Why did you take a stand against Sen. Rand Paul's filibuster?—
Tré Goins-Phillips (@tregp) March 15, 2013
@GrahamBlog Why did you screw over your own? Your lack of support for Americans when Rand Paul stood up was a disservice to freedom.—
Stoic Arizona (@stoiccon) March 15, 2013
.@grahamblog What is so "out there" about defending constitutional rights that led you to mock Sen Paul, rather than add your voice to his?—
Conservatarian TX (@ConservaTX) March 15, 2013
@GrahamBlog Why did you attack Rand Paul. Too much infighting.—
Sharon Kay (@SharonEmily) March 15, 2013
@GrahamBlog Your stand against Rand Paul, what did you think you would gain from it?—
art copeland (@Decoder2) March 15, 2013
Why dine w/ Obama while attacking Rand, Rubio, and Lee? RT @GrahamBlog will be on Twitter for the next 15 minutes. Have a question for me?—
Sunny (@sunnyright) March 15, 2013
.@GrahamBlog – Why did you choose to organize a $1,200 dinner w/Pres. Obama then trash your GOP colleague who stood up for US Constitution?—
(@GayPatriot) March 15, 2013
Bruce Carroll, Graham’s possible challenger in 2014, had a few other queries:
.@GrahamBlog – Why is it more important to you to compromise with liberal Democrats than to be a Consistent Constitutional Conservative?—
(@GayPatriot) March 15, 2013
.@GrahamBlog Will you compromise w/ Democrats' efforts to strip away the Constitutional rights of self-protection from women & minorities?—
(@GayPatriot) March 15, 2013
And these questions remained unanswered:
@GrahamBlog Are you afraid of being primaried because you need to be.—
Matt McKeithan (@MattMcKeithan) March 15, 2013
When will you retire? RT @GrahamBlog will be on Twitter for the next 15 minutes. Have a question for me?—
Sunny (@sunnyright) March 15, 2013
@GrahamBlog How do you feel about your chances against possible primary opponent @GayPatriot?—

Question: Why do you cave in on anything conservative? @GrahamBlog will be on Twitter for the next 15 minutes. Have a question for me?—
mpfs (@mpfs79) March 15, 2013
@GrahamBlog What's the point of having an R after your name when you are anything BUT conservative.—
mpfs (@mpfs79) March 15, 2013
Good question. Maybe Sen. Graham will get around to answering it next time.
Gotta run…will be back another time. Enjoyed it. — lg—
