Sen. Graham Slams Push for a 'Half-Assed Energy Bill' (he demands cap-and-tax)
The New York Times ^ | 2010-02-03 | Darren Samuelsohn

A key Senate Republican came out swinging today against the idea of passing just an energy bill and ignoring President Obama's call to also cap greenhouse gas emissions.

"It's the 'kick the can down the road' approach," said Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina. "It's putting off to another Congress what really needs to be done comprehensively. I don't think you'll ever have energy independence the way I want until you start dealing with carbon pollution and pricing carbon. The two are interconnected."

This has to be the Onion. No one in this political environment can be so dumb as to push cap and tax.

I think you have it nailed. I expect the answer is yes. Lindsay has skeletons in the closet. He is allowed to do only what he is allowed to do. They have the goods on this guy. He will dance like Pinnochio while they pull the strings. He isn’t just a RINO, he is blackmailed—no other explanation holds any water.

Likely gay—but could be hetero marital infidelity or financial corruption or all the above. He is compromised as far as I can deduce.

Graham is a total idiot. He must have been asleep for the past three months.

The two are interconnected.

Graham's brain and mouth. The two are NOT interconnected.

Sounds like he made a bad investment in the Cap and Trade market thinking it would be the cash cow of the future and now that dream is fading.
