A senator in a hostile climate [Graham betrays GOP, other GOP Senators want to follow] [BARF!]
The Washington Post ^ | 2009-10-27

It must be very lonely being the last flat-earther.

Sen. Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma, committed climate-change denier, found himself in just such a position Tuesday morning as the Senate environment committee, on which he is the ranking Republican, took up legislation on global warming. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) was in talks with Democrats over a compromise bill -- the traitor! And as Inhofe listened, fellow Republicans on the committee -- turncoats! -- made it clear that they no longer share, if they ever did, Inhofe's view that man-made global warming is the "greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people."

"Eleven academies in industrialized countries say that climate change is real; humans have caused most of the recent warming," admitted Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.). "If fire chiefs of the same reputation told me my house was about to burn down, I'd buy some fire insurance."

An oil-state senator, David Vitter (R-La), said that he, too, wants to "get us beyond high-carbon fuels" and "focus on conservation, nuclear, natural gas and new technologies like electric cars." And an industrial-state senator, George Voinovich (R-Ohio), acknowledged that climate change "is a serious and complex issue that deserves our full attention."

Alexander (TN) and Graham (SC) are full-fledged RINOs.

A clear indication of how stupid politicians can be. At the point in time when the greatest hoax in the history of mankind is being exposed for the nonsense that it is, the politicians are all jumping on board the Titanic.

Well, this is the Washington ComPost trying to stir up trouble.

Not that many Republican politicians and operatives aren’t perfectly capable of making trouble without this kind of encouragement.

We have seen that repeatedly, at least since conservatives gave them a sweeping victory in 2004—which had hillary waving her Bible and offering to compromise on abortion—until the Stupid Party quickly blew away this overwhelming show of support.

I guess Alexander wearing that timberjack shirt way back when he ran for President was fake too.

What a bunch of clueless putzes.

The guy who wrote that can’t be trusted any farther than you can throw him. I will not believe the gist of this until it hear it somewhere else.

“How stupid politicians can be???” They were elected fair and square. So, who is more stupid? The electorate or the elected?

Absolutely agree. The RINOs must go and even if it means sacrificing a seat here or there to the Bolshicrats temporarily. We’re not gonna save this republic that now teeters on the precipice with an Obamalite alternative party.

Do not trust anything the WaPo prints. However this is a reminder to contact any of the suspects that have a tendency to waiver on Globull warming BS.
