Lindsey Graham says he'd welcome Caitlyn Jenner as a political ally. He'd work with Democrats on entitlement reforms. And he'd lower climate-harming emissions to address global warming.
As long as you agree there's "too much debt, too many terrorists," the South Carolina senator and 2016 presidential contender says there's room in his Republican Party for you.
"Here's what I would say to the talk show hosts: In the eyes of radical Islam, they hate you as much as they hate Caitlyn Jenner," Graham said. "They hate us all because we won't agree to their view of religion. So America, we are all in this together." ....
On domestic issues, Graham said he's not compromising on his own principles: He opposes abortion and supports traditional marriage -- but "without animosity."
"But if we can't agree on abortion, let's talk about taxes. We're literally all in this together," Graham said.
Asked about Jenner, the former Olympian who is now a transgender woman, who also said she is a Republican, Graham said he is "into addition."
"I haven't walked in her shoes. I don't have all the answers to the mysteries of life," he said. "I can only imagine the torment that Bruce Jenner went through. I hope he's -- I hope she has found peace."
"I'm a pro-life, traditional marriage kind of guy, but I'm running to be president of the United States. If Caitlyn Jenner wants to be a Republican, she is welcome in my party," Graham said.
He also said he believes the climate is changing as a result of emissions caused by man, and that he'd support "business-friendly" restrictions on carbon dioxide emissions.
He said other Republican presidential contenders should be asked, "What is the environmental policy of the Republican Party?" (snip)

The Military Industrial Complex candidate is heard from.
Lindsey would make sure the middle east meat grinder is humming along 24/7.
Don’t care about Jenner, don’t care about Graham.
Could we please not post about either? Its a waste of good electrons.
“Lindsay Graham is a loser and I can’t believe anybody thinks he’s a serious candidate.”
His purpose is to make mischief in the SC primary. He’s getting paid a good buck for it.
Reason #26,792 why LG will never go anywhere with his “campaign” but will still betray conservatives in the Senate.
The Tea Party tent is not big enough for Lindsay Graham. And for that, we can only be thankful.
ROFL
I present to you the new Mr. and Mrs. Lindsey Graham.....
I don’t want my patriotism hijacked to fight limited police wars around the world to enrich defense contractors.....
‘IN WAR THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR VICTORY’-GENERAL DOUGLAS MACARTHUR
Either we go all out for a win from Syria to Pakistan or we stay out....I think stay out may be the best option right now when one considers Russia, China and North Korea’s sabre rattling.........
Combined PING! and DANG!
Jenner is a tent pole.
Caitlyn for first lady.
You know, I agree with you totally. What drove me to distraction was the fact that Graham is running exclusively on the claim that he would make the best Commander in Chief- and so- WHY would he even comment on this non-issue?
LOL, when is he going to be outed already? You just know somebody has the goods on him.
There is a devil on my shoulder whispering how fun it would be to see Lindsay get the GOP nod and watching all the Lesser evil/No matter what types invent excuses to vote for Mitt Romney’s clone because he’s really a conservative.
Senator Caitlyn Graham
Uh oh. Graham is hitting upon Bruce Jenner. They would make a great couple.
“This Jenner business grows tiresome.”
Seriously why does anyone care how this man mutates his own body?
Its like people are obsessing over all this gross stuff, no hes not a woman hes got man parts.
No it doesn’t matter what he believes on any subject anymore than it matters what anyone else believes.
What are you saying Norm; you would rather see Hillary be Pres any Reid Majority Leader???? /s -:)
No kidding. Just waiting for Lindsey to crawl out of the closet.
It’s a lesser evil ;)
