Graham Backs Climate Change Legislation
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 bill 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 — which Kerry rolled out alongside Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., late last month.
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.
“Our partnership represents a fresh attempt to find consensus that adheres to our core principles and leads to both a climate change solution and energy independence. It begins now, not months from now — with a road to 60 votes in the Senate,” they wrote.
Ok, so when it Graham going to make the big announcement? That he’s following in the footsteps of Benedict Specter and changing the letter behind his name from an “R” to a “D”? Should be any day now! While he’s at it, he might as well follow the Peanut clown and leave the Southern Baptist church too. Not sure where he got the idea man is in control, but it sure wasn’t in any church I attend.
