Lindsey Graham: Immigration would kill climate bill
Politico ^ | 2010-04-22 | Marin Cogan

Posted on 04/23/2010 5:35:06 PM PDT by rabscuttle385

A top Senate negotiator on climate change believes that a sudden turn by Senate Democrats to immigration could “destroy” any hope of a major climate and energy bill this year.

“This comes out of left field,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), after hearing that Democratic leaders may now push immigration reform ahead of a climate bill. “I’m working as earnestly as I can to craft climate and energy independence, clean air and jobs, and now we’re being told that we’re going to immigration. We haven’t done anything to prepare the body of the country for immigration.”

“This destroys the ability to do something on energy and climate,” he added, questioning whether the Senate could take up both immigration and climate before November.

Graham has been working for months with Sens. John Kerry (D-Mass.) and Joe Lieberman (O-Conn.) on a bipartisan climate change bill that could garner enough votes to pass the Senate. The trio is planning to release the bill Monday.

He is not even pretending to be some sort of 'independent' Republican anymore.

Tying "Climate" BS to energy independence is insane; but that's to be expected under the current "business-as-usual" criminal politicians of both parties.

What is maddening is that it is stupid beyond belief!

We desperately need energy independence : drill, exploit oil and coal, build nuclear plants as fast as we can.

But doing a it at the price of wasting trillions$ more on "climate" neutralizes whatever economic benefit and national financial health 'energy independence' can provide.

There's stupidity and then there's industrial strength stupidity.

Yea, pretty sad...he was a GOOD GUY once, despite his ‘preferences’, but I do think they got someone on the ‘inside’ that could blackmail him.

He obviously loves the Senate, but he WILL NOT COME CLEAN (so to speak) here...bummer.

Meaning what, Lindsay? We’ve heard about all the propaganda we can take.

Graham: pro-amnesty, pro-LaRaza, pro-cap&tax.

How the heck did this leftist POS win the GOP primary in one of the most conservative states in the Union?

If they can pass Amnesty then they can relax. All the rest of their fascist agenda will come in time. When the many millions of new “citizens” get their voting cards the Left won’t have to worry about any sort of political opposition ever again.

That’s the plan.

Oh no, we want arguments on when and which bill first all during the summer. Then immigration in Sept and cap and trade in the first of October. This prolongs the fuse keeping a steady burn building to an explosion in November.

This is not about 'our country', instead it's all about "Lindsey"...

- “I’m working as earnestly as I can to craft climate and energy..."

-"Graham has been working for months with Sens. John Kerry (D-Mass.) and Joe Lieberman (O-Conn.)"

I AM SICK AND TIRED OF THIS EGO MANIAC, WHO'S MAIN AND ONLY PRIORITY IS HIS OWN 'FACE TIME', AND BE THE CENTER OF ATTENTION!
