“…The Des Moines Register reported that when a potential voter suggested outlawing Islam, Graham shut him down hard, saying, 'You know what, I’m not your candidate.'
'I don’t want you to vote for me,' Graham said, cutting him off. 'I couldn’t disagree with you more.'
Graham went on to say that he was not looking to please those looking to create a prohibition, instead suggesting that strengthening the military and deploying more troops to Iraq would be a stronger approach...
'He’s got a right to say whatever he wants to say,' Graham said, 'but I have an obligation to the Republican Party, to the people of Iowa and the country as a whole to be firm on this. I’m not buying into that construct. That’s not the America that I want to lead.’"
