South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham compared himself to Ronald Reagan when asked about the growing number of Republican challengers seeking to unseat him in his bid for a third term.
Nancy Mace, the first female graduate of The Citadel, announced Saturday she will run against Graham in the 2014 midterms. Mace has tea party ties, and joins businessman Richard Cash in the race. Libertarian state Sen. Lee Bright has said he plans to announce his run in coming months.
"I’m going to keep being a social and fiscal conservative that focuses on our national security, takes care of our interests at home, like the Port of Charleston, working with my state officials and be a conservative like Ronald Reagan who will sit down with a Tip O’Neill to solve America’s problems," Graham said Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union."
"I will continue to be Lindsey Graham, a solid fiscal and social conservative who wants to solve problems," he said. "That’s the future of the Republican Party."

FU Linda! I worked for President Reagan and you AREN’T ANYTHING like him. Period.
Lindsey, you’re a loosey-goosey liberal right down to your sphincter.
lol
Anybody who jumps into bed (..uh) with John McCain as often as Graham does is no conservative.
I don’t think Reagan was working tirelessly to stab Conservatives in the back when he sat in talks with Tip O’neil.
Sure...and Barack Obama, Al Sharpton, Harry Belafonte, Jesse Jackson, et al...are not Black
run as a conservative but not vote as a conservative?
In other news, it is reported that pigs have been seen flying in many cities.
as the Koreans would say “MWOT?”
It’s the old Democrat trick. Worked for a long time. Now leftist RINOs use it.
“I will continue to be Lindsey Graham”
Well, he’s already disqualified.
I Will Run as Conservative in GOP Primary
He can run, but he can't hide from the facts.
did everyone in the room *cough*snort*giggle* when he said this?
The dims have promised him something.
Lindsey Graham could finish the job in your pic and run as a woman much more believably than he could run as a conservative.
That would be a good parody
This is one of the reasons the GOP-E is so torqued about the defund Obamacare movement. Graham had to oppose it. That will hurt him badly in the primary.
