Monday on Fox News Channel’s “On the Record” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said while he would support Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) if he won the Republican nomination for president in 2016, he is concerned because Paul’s view of Iran is “to the left of Obama.”
Graham said, “Basically is if Rand Paul is the nominee of the party I will support him but Rand Paul was the one senator that voted against my resolution two years ago saying that we will not allow Iran to get a nuclear capability and contain them. I think it would be lousy idea to give them a nuclear weapon and hope you could contain them. 90 senators agree with me.”

he’s left to many liberals on social issues too.
as is true of most libertarians
Considering Lindsay Grahamnesty is to the left of Stalin, who the hell cares what this weasel says?

I am certain that you know very little about Stalin.
“Get lost” to BOTH of them.
I suspect that, according to Lindsay Graham, everybody runs to the left of Jeb Bush.
An example of why Paul is a no go for me.
That said, he is clearly to the left of any conservative who supports secure borders; and...
...this means any true conservative.
(And, the GOP "insiders" continually and continuously underestimate our numbers and the dauntless commitment to which we cling to the uberimportant issue of secure borders.)
most unfortunately, young Paul seems to have learned all of his Dad’s very worst ideas, especially about our defenses....
we will NOT vote for Sen. Paul should he receive the nomination.
Graham and Juan to the jihadi side of Bammy on support for islamists in Syria.
wait!! Explain left and right. My left may be your right. Do you want to bomb Iran? Why? Is that right of left if I absolutely don’t want to start a war with 93 million people and a standing army , air force and navy of 950,000. Why would we do that? What has Iran done to America. Diddly squat. They had nothing to do with 9/11. That was Saudi Arabian money there and we aint done jack. My concern is that if you want to go attack— YOU GO!! Take your kids and you wife and get it on but I want none of it because they haven’t done anything to us which was true with Iraq also. I don’t want any more Iraqs— ever. If they attack my people on my soil I would turn them to glass. Close the damned BORDERS!!!
Correct...if you are catching flak from a RINO like Graham, you must be getting fairly close to the target. Even as I type this, I just heard Newt Gingrich (???) say that Rand Paul is the most principled man in the race (I didn’t hear the exact phrase, unfortunately).
Ms Graham is clearly not to the left of Stalin.

There you go. I’m glad you agree with me.
And yet, Grahamnesty added at the end “If Rand Paul is the nominee, I will support him”.
Can’t have it both ways senator!
I heard that too, from newt, in Rand’s commercial.
Good lord. He’s no such thing. “Mind our own business” is NOT the same thing as “Hope you Persians push the Jews into the sea!”. I really get sick of Pansy Graham’s neocon bull****.
Bush is probably the ideal candidate for Graham and those who align the United States with the country whose religious ideology (Wahabbism) created Bin-Laden and his organization.
Saudi Arabia that created Al-Quaeda and Pakistan that created the Taliban got off the hook after 9/11 with war on Afghanistan and Iraq only.....
FDR cut the first deal with the Saudis in 1945, right before he died. The GOP keeps the foreign policy bipartisan by keeping up the alignment for the obvious reason-oil.
And here comes the GOPe after Rand Paul. So glad I dumped the GOP.
