Graham Backs Push for Climate Change Legislation
Fox News ^ | 10/11/2010 | Fox News

Posted on 10/11/2009 8:43:18 AM PDT by JohnD9207

A top Senate Republican on Sunday announced his support for sweeping climate change legislation, disputing the "conventional wisdom" that says Congress simply cannot tackle the issue this year.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., co-authored an op-ed with Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., in The New York Times calling for action on legislation.

Kerry rolled out a Senate climate change bill alongside Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., late last month. A Graham aide said Sunday that the South Carolina Republican was not explicitly endorsing that bill, but stands ready to work with Kerry toward some version of legislation to combat global warming.

Though even Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has expressed doubt that the Senate can address the issue at the same time it's engineering health care reform, Graham and Kerry said a bipartisan bill is possible before a major international climate change summit in Copenhagen in December.

Who is a socialist, big government evangelist in drag? A RINO.

When our economy is finally pushed over the edge, I do hope that all of these traitors in D.C. are held accountable for their actions.

Lindsey is an embarassment to the people of SC and they can’t even vote him out for 5 more years.

I think I might have offended him when I sent him an e-mail this morning...something about his manhood or lack of manhood. Tried to remiond him about the butt whooping he and Mr. Bush took over immigration...but I suspect he has heard it all before...from his wife!
