GOP's Graham steps out on a limb on climate change ("I don't think it will cost me my job")

WASHINGTON — When it comes to combating global warming, Sen. Lindsey Graham is right where he loves to be — ahead of the curve, in the mix on a major issue, at the table for high-level, bipartisan talks behind closed doors.

Graham, a South Carolina Republican, is working with Democratic Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts and independent Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut to craft a climate change bill.

They face the dual challenge of overcoming widespread GOP opposition and withstanding relentless attacks by Big Oil and allied energy interests.

"Our goal is to create a vision that not only will help this planet — which I think is in peril — but will create millions of new jobs for Americans who need them, and help us become energy independent to make us safer," Graham told a crowded Capitol Hill news conference Wednesday.

The mood of the electorate will soon be much uglier than it is now. We’re talking the sort of mood that held sway during the French Revolution. So the Senator needs to worry about losing other things than just his job.

Agree. Fagboy has a lot to worry about I’d guess.

"I don't think it will cost me my job"

May his opponents use that quote over and over
in the next election to expose him for the jackass he is.

Until now he’s been right with that assumption. Why would he think otherwise?

Energy independent? What has Congress done to move in that direction?

The Democrat "No Domestic Energy Policy!"

All of that puts the U.S. in a position that war for oil or
complete economic collapse will be our only choices.
You can't frustrate every source of domestic energy
without consequences. Our enemies will blackmail us
to the extent that we are vulnerable to blackmail.

The Democrats are leading us into a real war for oil.
A war we won't have the energy to fight.
A war we don't need to fight because we have our own resources.

South Carolina, can you guys please send this guy into retirement?

Unfortunately, he was reelected last year. So we're stuck with this queer POS until 2014. And, unfortunately again, SC does have any recall mechanism.

Sen. Lindsey Graham is right where he loves to be

What day and time did he love to be there? He's not to the right of anything except maybe slightly to the right of that botox queen pelosi. He's an arrogant piece of slimey crap and my fellow SC voters will hopefully put him on the jobless roll next election. We're sick of him in these parts.

If you want to take a slap at Lindsey, keep an eye on Bob Inglis who is the RINO congressman from upstate South Carolina. They are bosom chums. If Inglis can be challenged successfully in the upcoming GOP primary, Lindsey will do the Enraged Marvin the Martian...”now that isn’t a bit nice”....

"I don't think it will cost me my job"

There he goes NOT thinking again. Is Lindsey still being courted by John "F'n Gigolo" Kerry?

"Lindsey Graham should man up, and grow a pair."

Good luck getting Miss Lindsey to do that.

He’s right though.

He keeps getting re-elected.

What do you want me to say?

What a loser. The real unemployment rate is 15% and these MORONS are worried about a false issue like climate change? This country is doomed.
