Three Senators released a broadly-worded blueprint of a climate change and energy bill on Thursday afternoon that they believe can win the 60 votes needed to push the bill through next year.

The proposal was timed to help persuade delegates to the United Nations climate change conference in Copenhagen that the Senate is serious about passing a climate bill and not mired in a partisan morass.

Senators John Kerry, Democrat of Massachusetts, Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina and Joseph I. Lieberman, Independent of Connecticut, sent President Obama a letter on Thursday outlining their plan.

Looks like they guys heavily invested in the carbon trading scam to me.

The indy, the cindy, and the lurch

Graham needs to go, he’s a turncoat like Spector. We are not interested in bipartisanship because it got us where we are today. It is seen as a weakness and exploited

[donhunt]

It’s kinda’ like Larry, Curley, and Moe.

[Roklok]

Somebody better run against this clown and get his butt out of the senate!!!

[Need4Truth]

It’s utterly amazing how out of touch these people are.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

What a nightmare.

[cripplecreek]

Its certainly not a good sign of future sanity on the whole climate mess.

Agree 100%....... Now let's get the people of SC on board with that thought!

[icwhatudo]

Lieberman seemed to have issues with the senate, Graham seemed shocked people would question his motivations, and Kerry just stood there.

Joseph I. Lieberman, Independent of Connecticut

How wrong that is?????? It should read, "Joseph I. Lieberman, Leech from Connecticut....."

Mr. Lieberman is a classic example of why term limits are so important!!!!!

[HKMk23]

Perhaps a roll of duct tape sent to Senator Graham's office along with instructions to "apply daily"? Maybe an entire CASE?

Senators Cantwell and Collins are planning to unveil a bill that would set a price on carbon emissions and return most of the revenue to consumers who will pay higher fuel costs.

How would that help? Sounds like a net-zero process.

The framework also suggests that the senators are prepared to preempt the Environmental Protection Agency’s authority to regulate carbon dioxide emissions

What the he11 does that mean?

[expatpat]

LOL! Very good.

There is nothing that would lead me to believe that Lindsey would not willingly go for something that would make him rich beyond imagination. No matter who or what he had to hurt.

[cripplecreek]

That’s what the whole global warming scam is really about anyway. People like Al Gore become fabulously wealthy and the other several billion of us are serfs.
