(RINO) Graham Joins Kerry On Cap-And-Trade
Investor's Business Daily ^ | October 19, 2009 | IBD editorial staff

Posted on 10/19/2009 6:59:45 PM PDT by raptor22

Politics: Move over, John McCain and Olympia Snowe. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina is fast becoming the Democrats' favorite Republican as he partners with John Kerry to push cap-and-trade through the Senate.

Earlier this year, eight Republican congressmen made it possible for Waxman-Markey, the 1,400-page job- and economy-killing cap-and-trade legislation, to barely pass the House of Representatives. At the time it seemed dead on arrival in the Senate if it was brought up there this year.

Once again, as with their medical plan, the Democrats seek to better the odds by putting a GOP hood ornament on a Democratic clunker. On cap-and-trade, Olympia Snowe's role will be played by Graham as he partners with Kerry to commit the U.S. to the flawed science and disastrous economics of climate change.

I’m telling ya the Dems have compromising pictures of this guy.

Definitely - and many in the GOP have suspected this to be fact for a long time. I guarantee the Dems have a one/two punch planned to win the governorship from Mark Sanford - pounding on his illicit affair (only dems are allowed to have them, ya know).

They've got Lindsey as their b*tch just like they've got McCain on audio & video selling out his fellow soldiers while under torture at the Hanoi Hilton. People will do anything for fame, fortune and to protect their so-called reputation.

The one question which will blow all the man made global warming advocates is this:
Who caused the global warming 11,000 years ago which melted 4 mile thick glaciers in the mid-west giving birth to the great lakes (largest body of fresh water on earth).

Unfortunately no one is asking that question!

2010: Are you voting for liberals with their heads stuck up Obama’s butt or are you voting Democrat?

When they said “change”, they meant a one party system. :)

Why don’t the Republicans in South Carolina demand that Graham come to talk to them and tell them why he is voting this way.

This legislation is beyond simply bad. It's worse than socialist. It assumes the entire economy will not be allowed to grow (capped). "Oh, that's a lie; just CO2 is capped!" CO2 is business, and there is no green solution to get around this, period.

What remains of the economy is to be traded to large corporations--no small business could afford the credits. So, a small number of mega corporations tightly controlled by the federal government and a dead economy. This is not socialism; it is textbook fascism. Anyone who supports this is a traitor or an idiot. Despite what people think, senators are not idiots (Sen. Boxer excepted); they are evil.

This is one of the most dangerous pieces of legislation we have ever seen, akin to the Burning of the Reichstag. Absolutely scream at your "representatives" in Congress over this.

Compromising pictures, or he's just a worthless little puke that needs to be bitch-slapped by the people of SC. I loathe these a-holes more than the most leftist Dems, because I expect the Dems to sell us out. Bastards like Linda Graham are nothing but sellouts to the people who voted and donated money to him. I'm sure they all voted for the guy with the "R" next to his name so he could side with the commiecrats on every important issue.

Where is the GOP leadership on these people? Why aren't they calling him/them out? Face it conservatives, we have no party. The GOP pays lip service to us, and nothing more, then they get down on their knees and service the Dem party.

I'm sick of this crap. Who the hell speaks for us? The GOP is nothing more than a label anymore, a label that has lost all of it's former meaning. Worthless, and a shell of its former self.

I just looked it up. His last election was in 2008. We have a long time to wait. But remember we will. If there still are elections by then. I mean 2014 is like forever when you consider what is happening in the USA right now.

It’s not complicated. He knows McCain’s days are numbered in the Senate. He sees himself as McCain’s successor and wants to courted by both sides when he assumes the title of GOP Maverick. Not as liberal as Snowe but knows he gets the most press time when he’s sticking it to the GOP.

I agree, it is worse than the healthcare bill because it affects every business.

I think you hit the nail on the head about both Graham and McCain. Graham has always seemed too, shall we say, feminine. I’ve also long believed that we haven’t been given the whole story about McCain’s stay at the Hanoi Hilton.
