Graham says he’s ready to make a deal on climate change legislation (wants to be 60th vote)
The Regional Business Journal, Charleston, SC ^ | 2010-01-06 | Mike Fitts

Sen. Lindsey Graham is ready to be the 60th Senate vote to get the climate change and energy bill passed, he told a Midlands audience Tuesday at Harbison State Forest.

“Since they’ve got no Republicans but me, business is open,” Graham said.

Graham has been criticized by his own party for pursuing bipartisan resolutions on such issues as illegal immigration and possible filibusters of judicial nominees. And he believes that the cap-and-trade bills being debated this year are another occasion to do so, he told the audience at a forestry conference hosted by the S.C. Wildlife Federation.

He said he has worked with Democrats, including Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., to craft a bill he can support.

You can certainly tell who is up for re-election and who isn’t.

I agree but I don’t think there is one Republican Congressman who an open homosexual. This would be political suicide in the Republican Party.

I guess Pansey liked the deals the "holdout" dems got for their votes for 0bamacare. He wants summa that for hisself.

The RNC called me today asking for a donation. I simply asked if McCain was a Republican and if the Republican party supports McCain. The guy stammered and said he has good and bad points. I hung up.

I’m done with RINO’s and the RNC.

Well said, onyx! We need to inundate Graham with e-mails.

Here's his CONTACT PAGE

If we contact all Senate leadership as well, and our Republican Senators and demand that they get rid of this traitor who is actively supporting the destruction of the American economy for a HOAX, perhaps in this new climate, we can make a difference.

If we don't get rid of RINO's like Graham, we're sunk. It may take 7 years to get him out of office, but removing his committee assignments is a great idea.

(Mitch McConnell's contact page is curiously having 'trouble' right now. Hmmmmmm)

Craft. As in Witchcraft.

Graham needs to be drummed out of the Republican party.

That's letting this POS off easy. He should be drummed out of the country. The jack hole likes EuroTrash policy so much he should go live there.

It might not take 7 years.

Although, I am not one prone to "predict," let me say this,
were McCain to lose this year, I will not be surprised if Lindsey doesn't finish his term. Without McCain, Lindsey might find the US Senate a lonely place, what with only one friend, Joe Lieberman (the so-called Independent) left in the hallowed chamber.

Lindsey Winkie needs to wipe that Tubbie custard of his chin.

And pick McCain's pubes out of his teeth.

That's a delicious thought, onyx.

Chang and Eng. Get rid of Chang, and Eng is too afraid to stick around.

If McCain loses, then Graham loses the only "backbone" he has.

May never happen, but it feels good to think about. ;)
