Lindsey Graham is aiming to buck 130 years of tradition.
American voters haven't elected an unmarried president since 1885, the same year the Washington Monument was dedicated on the National Mall and the Statue of Liberty arrived in New York.
Graham is barely registering in the polls. But if he were to win the White House, he would join an elite club that includes just two previous presidents unmarried at the time of their election. James Buchanan, who preceded Abraham Lincoln's presidency, never married. Grover Cleveland won election as a bachelor, but married a woman while he was in office who was under his care and 27 years his junior.
While there was less emphasis in the media about the private lives of politicians during that era, the absence of women in their lives did not go unnoticed. Buchanan was rumored to have a romantic relationship with a male senator and Cleveland faced accusations that he secretly fathered a child he was supporting financially.
"The President is a bachelor, and bachelors, time out of mind, have been not only the greatest sinners of the race, but the most susceptible of fascination," a cheeky New York Times reporter wrote in an 1858 article about Buchanan. "Cain was a bachelor and so was Judas Iscariot."(continued)

not that one.
We won’t vote for Lindsay but it has nothing to do with his marital status.
Would he wait until after his term to come out?
He’s already been outed several times. Most South Carolinians that pay any attention already know.
- 1885 - - 2015 - - years ending in a 5 - - -
What does it mean? you ask.
Dunno - -
Gone to the White House ha ha ha.
According to the Urban dictionary, the Cleveland steamer is when one person craps on another person's chest and (very important) then sits down and rocks back and forth like a steam roller. Pooftah is. . . well . . . you can guess. Disgusting, but then so is all homosexual activity.
That would be dumb.
First of all, Cindy's pretty hot for 61.
And second, there's all that moolah that keeps flowing in from all her beer trucks!
Were Lindsey Graham elected he could continue obammy’s presidential tour of male bath houses/.
aka “golf outings.”
Oooh that’s baaaad :-)
Lol!
If he is serious then he should resign the Senate.
“A bachelor is a man whom no reasonably intelligent and attractive woman ever decided to marry.” - old saying
I was a bachelor until I was 34. Are the faggies going to steal that word the way they stole gay meaning lighthearted?
Lindsey was interviewed on Fox this morning with his sister. Looks like she will be the female by his side. I’m from South Carolina and have never voted for him. Too many unanswered questions.
I just read your post to me this morning as I was sharing it with my husband. I shouldn’t have asked. It now cannot be unlearned. What terrible dark places these men go; an abuse of the body and soul that God granted us.
The popular media would have us think that all homosexuals do is kiss and hold hands. If they really knew how these perverts behave and what they do to each other, I don't think that the average person would not hold them in such high regard.
What's truly amazing is that these perverted humans only constitute 1.7% of the population . . . but you wouldn't know that with how the media present them.
