Sen Lugar says we can't afford this latest war

Lugar warned that the U.S. is investing huge sums of money in a foreign endeavor at a time when the domestic economy is still struggling.”It’s a strange time,” he said. “Almost all of our congressional days are spent on budget deficits, outrageous problems. Yet, at the same time, all of this passes, which is a very expensive operation.”Senatus reporting

Is he a member of the Tea Party? I don't think so, the Tea party loves expensive wars, they get giddy feelings when they can bomb foreigners on borrowed money.

On the other hand:

“I’m glad we’re finally doing something,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said on “Fox News Sunday.” “I don’t know how many people have died as we wait to do something, and I thank God for strong women in the Obama administration. I don’t know what finally got the president to act. But I’ve very worried that we’re taking a back seat rather than a leadership role.”

Lindsey Graham sounds like a deficit loving, budget busting Tea Party member. His state is on welfare, like Sarah in Alaska, they cannot survive down there in S Carolina without central government welfare. Yep, sure sounds like a Tea Party member to me.  Except, this is what he says about the Tea party:

In a piece profiling him in the Times magazine, Graham complains about the so-called tea party movement, arguing that the movement that’s emerged over the last year or so doesn’t have long to live. “The problem with the Tea Party, I think it’s just unsustainable because they can never come up with a coherent vision for governing the country. It will die out,” Graham is quoted as saying. 

Translation: Since most of the Tea party members come from states living off federal welfare, what is it exactly that a Tea Party member wants?  More welfare, likely.
