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

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.

I think we have to get rid of McCain first.

Thankfully, it looks like Arizona is going to make that happen come August.

GO J.D.!

Sorry Lindsey, own up to your LIFESTYLE now, please, and then let others make the call as to whether they’re ok.

But please, get away from the BLACKMAIL that you’re OBVIOUSLY being subjected to.

There are a LOT of really CONSERVATIVE GAY Republicans...just let the world know, please.

I think they should take both immigration and cap and scam up in about the last week of October.

Miss Linseed fancies herself as a some kind of grand strategist. He should just shut up and be thankful the Dems haven’t outed him...are still content to blackmail him.

Standing in “the middle of the road” in the current political climate isn’t a very bright idea. Lindsey is an idiot.

Listen linsey you fag bastard--we don't want no "climate independence," whatever the hell that means to your diseased syphilitic brain. And we don't want to be "prepared" for your immigration shit, whatever that is.

Get it, asshole? Please f* off and die now, sh*t head.

Ya see Kindsey, THIS is what happes when you try to appease the other side. They are in danger of losing a huge voting block, THAT is why they’re pushing immigration. Now - Please take your assigned seat UNDER the bus.
