Graham says he’s ready to make a deal on climate change legislation (wants to be 60th vote)
The Regional Business Journal, Charleston, SC ^ | 2010-01-06 | Mike Fitts

Sen. Lindsey Graham is ready to be the 60th Senate vote to get the climate change and energy bill passed, he told a Midlands audience Tuesday at Harbison State Forest.

“Since they’ve got no Republicans but me, business is open,” Graham said.

Graham has been criticized by his own party for pursuing bipartisan resolutions on such issues as illegal immigration and possible filibusters of judicial nominees. And he believes that the cap-and-trade bills being debated this year are another occasion to do so, he told the audience at a forestry conference hosted by the S.C. Wildlife Federation.

He said he has worked with Democrats, including Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., to craft a bill he can support.

What about those ‘high paying’ green jobs? LOL

Green means more taxpayer money flushed down the toilet.

Glen Beck yesterday was showing that with all the US mandates on domestic jobs China can easily produce green products cheaper than us and would steal those jobs too.

“Anyone who runs for office saying they are going to do something about the weather needs a lobotomy.”

Amen.
With records being broken everyday for cold and snow; maybe we all should mail broken snow blower parts to the esteemed Senator?

“IF GLOBAL WARMING GETS ANY WORSE, WE’RE GOING TO FREEZE TO DEATH!!!”

It’s “global warming”, not climate change they’re trying to fix. We need to keep reminding people, because we have been in a cooling trend for the last 8 years. They need to answer the question, “why is this happening if carbon emissions are at an all-time high?”. Calling it “global warming” is important because there will always be “climate change”. Let’s make them defend warming, because it’s pretty easy to convince people these days that the earth’s has “naturally” turned the corner and its getting cooler.

What a moron! “Global warming” is being discredited - perfect time for him to jump on the bandwagon. This legislation is going to cost all Americans - for no benefit. We need Senators who will actually look out for Americans’ interests, instead of playing political games.

The most difficult career challenge for Gramnesty to maintain a conservative appearance.

This guy is a true political psychopath. His move to be the 60th vote can only be the result of a big offer, made behind the scenes by Soros or something similar to Soros.

I would like to see him show up at a large Tea Party soon and see their reaction. He’d need troops to get out of there.

South Carolina needs to stop this blowhard. Blow up his phone line. There are so many bad bills out there, I can’t even keep up with what might slip through at midnight. We need to quarantine congress.

Hey Lindsey, your jerk, where in the Constitution does it say that you can tax the air we breath?

The Crap and Tax bill will permanently destroy our economy.
