Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said today that skeptical Republicans and Democrats should throw their support behind climate change legislation not only because it's good for the economy and the environment, but because Congress desperately needs a win under its belt.

"We tried immigration. It's hard. And we failed. We tried Social Security. It's hard. And we failed. We tried health care. It's really hard. And it looks like we're going to have to start over again," Graham somberly told a luncheon audience of energy and climate advocates on the Hill. "On the energy, climate change front, I don't want to add that to the list. There is no reason in my mind that the Republican Party and the Democratic Party can't come together."

Yet another reason why the RINO McCain must be defeated in August!

Linsday can now recruit Osama bin Laden, his fellow Green advocate.

The only positive thing you can say about this public prostitute is that he keeps on trying to deliver for his money ‘John’.

[Frantzie]

If Juan McCain wins they will flip. McCain becomes the liberal that he *IS* and Graham-nesty becomes a “conservative” until his 2012 election.

I stopped reading there.

The only thing I can think of that explains Lindsay Graham's current policy positions is homosexual blackmail.

Graham must find it hard to breathe with his head stuck so far up Durbins ass

[woweeitsme]

These quotes need to be saved and distributed in the 2012 primary.

Putting the cart before the ass.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Whatta RINO.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Screw Congress and their boy, Lindsey. WE THE PEOPLE need a win against OBAMA, OSAMA AND ALGORE’S climate hoax and scam.

[cranked]

Apparently, he does not read newspapers on material related to how global warming (AGW) is continuing to be proven a scam, a hoax, and severely questioned.

These quotes need to be saved and distributed in the 2012 primary.

Graham is next up for re-election in 2014.

By then, it will be too late.

We must either remove McCain; otherwise, any conservatarian victories in November will be for naught.

[umgud]

No Lindsay, the world needs a reprieve from the climate whacko’s.

[esarlls3]

When you need every vote to sustain a filibuster, you are only as strong as your weakest link. The opposition will always find their price. Graham may have charged more than Landrieu or Nelson (or not) but he has now revealed that he is the weakest link.

[avacado]

Get rid of that fool! Please, let's pitch in to get him a blow up doll... and be done with him!

[xjcsa]

I would have sworn this was satire. Wow.

[HerrBlucher]

He does, he knows its a fraud, but there is money to made for him and his corrupt cronies and puppeteers. The man apparently has no moral foundation whatsoever, his house is built on sand.

Given the economy and the recent public revelations of that global warming is a total fraud, I just can’t see crap and tax passing. Its gonna be fail fail fail fail for dems and rinos, and that is ok by me.
