Global warming takes center stage in Lindsey Graham primary
Human Events ^ | 09/09/2013 | James Taylor

Lindsey Graham’s support for global warming restrictions is taking center stage affecting the incumbent U.S. Senator’s bleak poll numbers in his bid to survive a primary challenge in the 2014 elections.

Graham is well below the 50 percent threshold in a recent poll of likely Republican primary voters in South Carolina, conducted by Landmark Communications and Rosetta Stone Communications. Only 42 percent of likely Republican primary voters said they support the incumbent Graham. Graham’s poor support among Republican voters is remarkable considering Graham’s primary opponents have relatively little name recognition throughout the Palmetto state.

Graham’s primary opponents are hammering the incumbent for frequently straying from conservative principles, and they are hammering Graham particularly hard for his longstanding support for global warming restrictions.

State Sen. Lee Bright, who tallied the most support among Graham’s primary opponents in the poll, put Graham’s global warming advocacy at the top of the list among Graham’s shortcomings in an interview with Breitbart News.

“Lindsey Graham’s record of promoting cap and trade, banker bailouts, liberal Supreme Court justices, and amnesty have driven a wedge between him and conservative voters in South Carolina, in spite of his relentless courtship of the mainstream media,” said Bright.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls our climates.

3. The earth is a rock.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

Better yet, go stand on the edge of the Grand Canyon and for the first time in your life realize your own utter insignificance.

A quote very much like this was written into the Grand Canyon Lodge visitors book by a doctor describing the malady of big-headedness. I believe the date was something like 1897 and it was a woman doctor.

Did you also see the story just a few days ago about the enviro-wackos who were on a track to show everyone just how easy it was to paddle through some passage in Canada to prove the ice was diminishing?

You got it, they had to terminate the trip because of ice blocking the way.

To the state of South Carolina, be careful who you want to replace him and also remember that Rubio was an unknown as well. Sadly, the succumbed to the dark side once in Mordor. I will not vote for him again unless he does an about face and asks for our forgiveness on this immigration crap. But then again, he lied to us from his heart, not a prepared speech by some staffer.

42 percent with that record speaks volumes about how uninformed SC voters really are.

perhaps he will also ask our pardon for voting YEA on John Fonda-Kerry’s confirmation as Sec. of State.

Forgot about that little Rubio tid-bit huh?

Far as I am concerned he can pound sand.

Regardless of what he says when campaigning, he'll stab you in the back on supporting the illegal invaders.
