More quotes by Lindsey Graham

Lindsey Graham
We have to adjust the age retirement for younger people. People of my income level are going to have to have their benefits means-tested. Democrats are going to want a simpler tax code.
Lindsey Graham
I don't see any coronation coming my way
Lindsey Graham
I think that is the fight that we have to wage if we're to save the middle class. And I do have doubts about whether Hillary Clinton or whether any Republican candidate out there is prepared to take on the big money interests who control so much of our economy and as a result of Citizens United, our political process as well.
Lindsey Graham
What we're trying to look for is a process that is not responding to political pressures, but one that is responding to economic reality, because I do believe ... that it's in the best interest of the Chinese people to allow a market-based currency.

Philanthropy is lost. The human spirit is suppressed. Most people want a legacy they want to give something back, a library, a hospital wing, a donation to their church. This is a form of socialism that must go.
Lindsey Graham

Lindsey Graham
We don't have enough American troops inside of Iraq to destroy ISIL any time soon.

Lindsey Graham
We’re not generating enough angry white guys to stay in business for the long term.
Lindsey Graham
Every state and the federal government have laws that protect people from acts of violence, and those laws should be enforced. What I want to see in America is that if you hurt a human being and you bring pain in their life, that's all we need to know. If you did it illegally, you should be prosecuted.
Lindsey Graham
We've got fifty people at Gitmo that are too dangerous to be let go that will never go through a normal criminal trial. Let's create a new legal system, so they'll have their day in court.
Lindsey Graham
If 'Obama-care' becomes fully implemented in 2014, it's going to bankrupt states.
Lindsey Graham
I'm for Simpson-Bowles. It doesn't raise taxes, it closes loopholes and takes the money we would give to a few people and put it on the debt.
Lindsey Graham
The ultimate check against government tyranny is an informed electorate who will elect people who believe in limited government. I don't want to embrace the idea we want people to take to the streets with guns. I want people to go to the voting booth and check an out of control government by electing conservatives.
Lindsey Graham
The healthcare bill not only is a monstrosity in terms of growing the government and cutting out the private sector, the way it was passed was sleazy. Every old Washington trick was used to pass the healthcare bill.
Lindsey Graham
Conservatives have a different view of a lot of issues versus our friends on the other side. The election determines how that shakes out.
Lindsey Graham
I would love to have a good deal to end the nuclear ambitions of the Iranians, but I don't trust the Iranians. They've been lying and cheating.
