A top Senate Republican on Sunday announced his support for sweeping climate change legislation, disputing the "conventional wisdom" that says Congress simply cannot tackle the issue this year.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., co-authored an op-ed with Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., in The New York Times calling for action on legislation.
Kerry rolled out a Senate climate change bill alongside Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., late last month. A Graham aide said Sunday that the South Carolina Republican was not explicitly endorsing that bill, but stands ready to work with Kerry toward some version of legislation to combat global warming.
Though even Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has expressed doubt that the Senate can address the issue at the same time it's engineering health care reform, Graham and Kerry said a bipartisan bill is possible before a major international climate change summit in Copenhagen in December.

“Please make a note of this Washington, D.C. office phone for Senator Graham and feel free to use it frequently all next week:
(202) 224-5972”
I’ll call him and let him now that the conservative movement is coming back, and he is not part of it.
GTFO of D.C. you RINO bastard!
Democrat is as Democrat does.
Hey, all you incredibly dumb and uninformed Americans, I’m Lindsey Graham. I’m a really, really, REALLY smart lawyer from South Carolina.
Because I am from South Carolina, some of you uninformed BIGOTS might call me a “cracker.”
Actually, that suits me just fine because that would make me a Graham Cracker. So if you don’t like my position (often bent over Algore’s or Harry Reid’s desk) on globull warming, immigration or those OTHER unimportant issues you can
BITE ME!
Mmmmm. McCain’s very good friend, Does anyone is D.C. represent the us?
Can we please get this wimp/ turncoat out of the Republican party? PLEASE???
Dear South Carolina,
You can end your perpetual embarrassment by giving Linsey a pink slip next time around.
Sincerely,
The Rest of America
Some of us urged that folks here support the Ron Paul Democrat who ran against him in November but were shot down by those who said that Republicans “had” to control the Senate.
Lindsey Graham was a proponent of cap and trade long before Obozo came onto the scene.
If that POS McCain had of won the election, be certain we’d have cap and trade by now.
Dear South Carolina,
You can end your perpetual embarrassment by giving Linsey a pink slip next time around.
Sincerely,
The Rest of America
worth repeating...
He must be legend in the GOP as to what happens to traitors.
WE MUST REMOVED HIM FROM OFFICE...surely their are enough conservatives in NC to vote this guy out? How the hell does he win the GOP primary?
We had a chance last time but unfortunately will not have another for five more years.
Here’s his canned email reply...
Thank you for taking the time to contact me. I appreciate the opportunity to hear from you.
Due to the large volume of mail I receive, I regret that I am only able to respond personally to inquiries from South Carolinians.
As we continue our work in the 111th Congress, I look forward to supporting our troops in the War on Terror, repairing our economy and creating jobs, strengthening Social Security, lowering the tax burden on American families, and making the federal government more accountable and efficient.
If your correspondence pertains to a scheduling request, please fax your request to (202) 224-3808.
Sincerely,
Lindsey Graham
Perfect! LOL!
Well said. Glenn Beck was right. It wouldn't have been any better (and in some ways worse) if McCain had won. Please note that folks here used the same arguments to justify support for McCain in November as the used for Graham, when his opponent was a Ron Paul Democrat.
What a ridiculous bunch! They are selling us down the cold frigid waters of the NWO.
He’s from SC.
