Whatever your philosophy, there was something for almost everyone in Sen. Lindsey Graham’s performance Sunday at a town hall meeting at the University of South Carolina that drew more than 350.
“I’m a free-market guy with a heart,” said Graham, a South Carolina Republican serving his second term in the Senate.
Graham — using simple language and folksy stories about his upbringing, in which government handouts helped his struggling family — explained for almost two hours his complex political views on equally complex political issues.

But do you want — like Obama — to make the rich pay their fair share for any new health care program? So does Graham. People who make Graham’s income ($170,000) and more should pay more for government-subsidized health plans, like Medicare B, the senator said to somewhat less applause.Don’t like private insurance companies? Graham would squeeze them. He would make them cover every American and not be able to reject someone for a pre-existing condition.
Oh, how cute. Means-testing government benefits and bashing the private sector.

A self-mischaracterisation.
He's a quasi-socialist without a brain.
Which, to be objective about it, is just another redundancy.

“I’m a free-market guy with a heart,” said Graham”
Sorry Lindsey, we had 8 years of “compassionate conservatism” and look where we are now.

Not until 2014. Maybe Zero can appoint him Ambassador to Zimbabwe.
