More quotes by Lindsey Graham
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
I'm glad that the NSA is trying to find out what the terrorists are up to overseas and in our country. I'm glad that activity is going on, but it is limited to tracking people who are suspected to be terrorists and who they may be talking to... Yes, I am sure that that's what they're doing.
Lindsey Graham
I believe climate change is real, but I reject the cap and trade solution of John - of, you know, of Al Gore. He's made a religion. It's a problem.
Lindsey Graham
Well, thank God for a media that will ask questions.
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
Tea Party to establishment from social conservative to libertarian, we all - what people want more than anything is they don't just want a fighter. They want someone who fights and wins.
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
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.
Lindsey Graham
In my view, Democrats and Republicans work together too little, and I would try to change that if I got to be president. And when it came to radical Islam, I would go after them before they come back here again.
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 think as people find out about my foreign policy, what they're going to find out is that I'm right in the mainstream of the Republican Party. I believe the number one priority of the federal government is national defense.
Lindsey Graham
I've been a military lawyer for 33 years. A member of al Qaeda or their affiliate group can be detained under a law of war as long as their threat to our nation without a trial.
Lindsey Graham
I've been elected numerous times in South Carolina. If I'm on the ballot, I'm going to win South Carolina.
Lindsey Graham
I'm not going to throw my state under the bus. That's never going to happen.
Lindsey Graham
Dishonest, which is Hillary Clinton in the eyes of the American people, beats crazy. Dishonest loses to normal. So, let's just pick somebody out of the phone book if we have to.
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
Nobody in the Senate on a bipartisan fashion trusts the Iranians. They lie. They cheat. They're a murderous regime. They've been trying to develop a nuclear weapon.
Lindsey Graham
The legal system in Afghanistan is very immature and porous.
Lindsey Graham
Marco Rubio, I think, will be president some day. Whether 2016 is his time, time will tell. He embraced immigration reform. He seems to have backed off. I'll let him explain why.
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.
