The Three Amigos Become a Duo

Since 2002 Republican Senator John McCain of Arizona, Democrat turned Independent Senator Joseph I. Lieberman of Connecticut, and Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina have been traveling the globe trying to influence our countries foreign policy. One of the reasons many people trusted them and listened to what they had to say was because they were a bipartisan group. They were not a group from one party trying to get there specific party view out in the world. They were genuinely trying to get done what they thought best for the country.
Sadly, Joseph Lieberman has decided that he is going to retire. So now the group, dubbed the three amigos but Gen. David H. Patraeus, will no longer be bipartisan it will be left with two Republicans. The question on everyone's mind now is whether or not the group will have  as loud of a voice in foreign policy decisions now.
I do not think that they will have as much influence in the process as they did before Lieberman retired. People trusted that they were just trying to do what was best for the country, but now that they are only Republican, people may question their decisions in the future.  It has already been shown that without Lieberman the group lost some of its voice. McCain and Graham joined together with Republican Senator Kelly Ayotte when trying to make a special committee to investigate the attack that happened in Benghazi, Libya. Even with the three pushing it, it did not go through. And even Lieberman has stated that he feels that the group will still be important to the country when it comes to decisions on foreign policy, but that he does not feel that their voice will be heard as loudly as when they were a bipartisan group.
