Junk Scientist Lindsey Graham is still working with democrats on the job-killing cap-and-tax bill in the US Senate.
McClatchy reported:
When it comes to combating global warming, Sen. Lindsey Graham is right where he loves to be — ahead of the curve, in the mix on a major issue, at the table for high-level, bipartisan talks behind closed doors.
Graham, a South Carolina Republican, is working with Democratic Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts and independent Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut to craft a climate change bill.
They face the dual challenge of overcoming widespread GOP opposition and withstanding relentless attacks by Big Oil and allied energy interests.
“Our goal is to create a vision that not only will help this planet — which I think is in peril — but will create millions of new jobs for Americans who need them, and help us become energy independent to make us safer,” Graham told a crowded Capitol Hill news conference Wednesday.
Kerry, Lieberman and Graham held private meetings with Energy Secretary Steven Chu , Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and former EPA chief Carol Browner , now President Barack Obama’s top adviser on climate change.

These idiots in DC are absolutely out of touch with their constituents. They take in “big bucks” and assume we all do. Most of us cannot afford next month’s bills, let alone health care and cap and trade.
Vote them ALLLLLLLLL out in 2010. Elect people who know how to earn a day’s pay — and will!

I think it’s time for Graham to find another line of work. The road to compromise at this point in history is the road to America’s destruction.
Is he being paid off like Cao? Is he afraid of his voters? I didn’t think South Carolinians were crazy left.

Graham is completely Crackers. Millions of jobs will go down the drain, while the leftist Elite grows rich on carbon credits.

“will create millions of new jobs for Americans ”
Can this man truly be that stupid….??!!??
Not one sane and truthful researcher, or poli-sci graduate, or economist has said anything but that this will choke the economy and destroy millions of jobs. Duh!

As a chem engineer trained in mass and heat transfer dynamics, global warming do to co2 is a hoax. As someone who appreciates the geologic history recorded by the painted desert, grand canyon and other southwestern slices of ancient history, I know for a fact that weather cycles have occured since the beginning of time, What Gore, Grahman and the politians are promoting is a scam.

The problem with this most misleading article from McClatchy is the fact that the truth is NOT being told and the far right hates Lindsey so much they don’t give a rip about correcting what is NOT true.
Then again, once someone lies about a person the way the insane right has lied about Lindsey they grow to hate that person. Hate is a must, or the person who is NOT telling the truth will be forced to examine their motives and correct the lies.
The Pink Flamingo will be featuring a post on Monday about the McClatchy article, correcting the lies, and telling what is actually going on. Then again, the far right really doesn’t care about telling the truth or you would have taken a little time to cross-check the sourcing and not do a hit job on Lindsey.
