Graham: Congress Needs A Win On Climate Policy
National Journal ^ | 2010-01-27

Posted on 01/29/2010 9:37:42 PM PST by rabscuttle385

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."

Earth to Graham: IT’S NOT ABOUT WHAT CONGRESS NEEDS, IT’S ABOUT WHAT AMERICA NEEDS, you idiot! What America needs now if for you to go home and let someone with an ounce of intelligence and integrity to do the job you’re not capable of doing.

Is this guy nuts? And deaf? And dumb?

Yes in addition to being invested in alternate energy and cap and trade profiteering.

Says the poster boy (speaking charitably - think golf balls and garden hoses) for Congressional Republican dysfunction.

WHY did SC re-elect this treacherous idiot?

Two words: OPEN PRIMARIES.

Until the SCGOP closes our primaries the game is rigged, and we will be stuck with him.

Graham is like McCain.

Both heard Obama use the word compromise in the SOTU and both immediately started clawing to reach out to their 'friends' across the aisle.

SC deserves Graham. They reelected him.

The rest of the Nation doesn't deserve that, however.

Hint to Graham:

Graham-nesty becomes a “conservative” until his 2012 election.

We are stuck with Graham until 2014, not 2012. He was just reelected in 2008.

FOLLOW THE MONEY TRAIL ON THIS ONE. We need to start investigating Graham to see where he is getting donations from and who is supporting him. We need to get rid of this guy as soon as we can.

“President Obama secured $80 billion for renewable energy and green infrastructure”

Seems Wikipedia has once again sanitized the facts for Obama and Gore, but I posted this quote here long ago in this thread, and the spending would be verifiable;

Climategate: White House Involvement in Scandal Will Make It Harder for MSM to Ignore

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2394869/posts?q=1&;page=83#83

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Gore

“Within one month of taking office President Obama secured $80 billion for renewable energy and green infrastructure

and then just two weeks ago the House of Representatives passed the Waxman-Markey Bill also known as the American Clean Energy and Security Act which for all of its flaws does put a price on carbon and is very much a step in the right direction.”

Have you ever met a person that no matter how many FACTS you throw at them...they will continue to spout the same lies and factually false platitudes back at you.

After about two times of this, you throw up your hands and say YOUR HOPELESS.

LINDSEY GRAHAM IS THE POSTERBOY

These people are clinically INSANE. Climate change has taken place for THOUSANDS of years...

MAN IS NOT GOD THAT HE CAN CONTROL THE WEATHER!

All of their "global warming" is based upon LIES and fraudulent data that has been proven false. These wicked men and women need to be stopped before they destroy the country from within and totally bankrupt us all!

He may be overly influenced by that hot, humid summer climate of SC, but I suspect that he spends relatively little time in SC now. But SC people wouldn’t probably know. Strom picked him as his successor, and that is that for SC people.
