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.

Here we go, Ben Nelson was bribed generously, so “Day Late and a Dollar Short” Graham is now trying the same tactic.

"Anyone who runs for office saying they are going to do something about the weather needs a lobotomy."

And if already IN office, had better get out while the gettin's good. The tar and feather crowd with the pitchforks are chomping at the bit as we speak.

Tool!

Got that right. Please tell me this RINO POS is up for re-election in 2010? I hope the voters in his state have the sense to toss him out on his RINO butt.

Do Republicans draw straws to see who will sell out conservatives next?

What, if any, is the procedure for recalling a Senator in South Carolina?

According to EHow, only 18 states have a mechanism to recall US Senators. South Carolina is not one of them.

Any one who believes in Global Warming has to be a special kind of stupid. The only people who speak of Global Warming are those who’s revenue stream depends on the concept. Those that speak of it do not believe in it ... they believe in the revenue stream!

I hope there is someone out there that has the resources to make this go away.....

Graham is from one of the more conservatives states out there.....surely someone from SC can put the fear of GOD into this man.

Enough to make me loose my lunch.

BTW, did you know SarahPAC supports Graham?

Yes, I do know about it.

SarahPAC also supports the abortionist Murkowski and the RINOs Hatch and McCain.

Unfortunately, every time I dare to mention such things, I get labeled as a troll, a DNC plant, deranged, a Palin hater, etc. even though her PAC's support for RINOs can be readily substantiated by pulling documents from the FEC's Web site, as well as OpenSecrets.org.

I wonder if Michael Leahy is involved with this group, he’s been kicked out of the main Tea Party effort once for being a loose cannon.

The Crap and Tax bill will permanently destroy our economy.

My congressman said they have only 23 votes in the senate for crap and tax.

#3 On the Take - Big time

I’m convinced that he must have some side deal associated with carbon credits or kickbacks of some sort.
