Graham: Congress Needs A Win On Climate Policy
National Journal ^ | 2010-01-27

Posted on 01/29/2010 9:37:42 PM PST by rabscuttle385

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said today that skeptical Republicans and Democrats should throw their support behind climate change legislation not only because it's good for the economy and the environment, but because Congress desperately needs a win under its belt.

"We tried immigration. It's hard. And we failed. We tried Social Security. It's hard. And we failed. We tried health care. It's really hard. And it looks like we're going to have to start over again," Graham somberly told a luncheon audience of energy and climate advocates on the Hill. "On the energy, climate change front, I don't want to add that to the list. There is no reason in my mind that the Republican Party and the Democratic Party can't come together."

Time to have the Tea-Party find a solid conservative to run and beat Graham in the primaries. This amnesty RINO guy needs to be booted out once and for all time.

It’s clear to me that Graham is simply doing McCain’s dirty work these days.

McC has a tough re-election so he’s acting like an honorable conservative.

Graham is not up for re-election so he’s willing to carry the dirty water.

Don’t blame Graham. His proclivities were well known except to the SC GOP electorate, you know the same tools who imagined McCain was good on immigration.

He’s a freak of nature. Some people grow older and smarter——Lindsay gets dumber.

It is amazing how Lindsey Graham can be so right on some things and so terribly wrong on others.

I had that exact same thought. This would be a really good gig for young Master O’Keefe and his crew. And Graham is a pub (ostensibly), so it would give O’Keefe a good opportunity to show off his fair and balanced credentials.

Speaking of pimp boy, how’d you like that great big omelet’s worth of eggs on the faces of the slimestream media’s attenpted hit on him when in fact it turned out to be nothing?

On second thought, since hope springs eternal, and since Graham was talking to a bunch of corporate greenies, mayne he was ust giving them the whole bi-aprtisan lip service.

Hits track record indicates otherwise, but one can never know for sure until he actually starts DOING something that indicates he’s really serious.

Same with Gates and the queer thing for the military.
