Obviously, Senator Graham has long been a member of the Cult of Climastrology, and part of the Progressive wing of the GOP. That said, his campaign should go about as far as Jon Huntsman’s did in 2012 with this kind of moonbattery
(Politico) Sen. Lindsey Graham is urging action on climate change and endorsing a budget plan that includes tax increases — another example of how the South Carolina Republican breaks with many other conservatives seeking the GOP presidential nomination.
He’s not a conservative. He has some decent national security cred, and a few others issues, but, he received a 74 by the ACU for 2014, and a 68 for 2013. His lifetime rating (20 years) is 87.13.
In a wide-ranging interview aired Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,†Graham also called out two of his Republican rivals by name and challenged his party for not having an environmental policy.
“Here’s a question you need to ask everybody running as a Republican: What is the environmental policy of the Republican policy? When I ask that question, I get a blank stare,†he said in the interview taped Saturday in Boone, Iowa, where a number of GOP presidential hopefuls attended Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst’s “Roast and Ride.â€
Republicans want to make sure the air, water, and land are clean. “Climate change” has nothing to do with real environmental concerns.
“If I’m president of the United States, we’re going to address climate change, CO2 emissions in a business-friendly way,†the South Carolina senator said. “I do believe that climate change is real.â€
â€When 90 percent of the doctors tell you you’ve got a problem, do you listen to the one?†Graham added, in a nod to the vast majority of scientists who say climate change is real and caused by human activity.
When 90% of doctors are telling you to use leaches and trepanning to cure illness, do you listen to them? Or the guy/gal saying “whoa, whoa, whoa, let’s look at actual science”? Lindsey, goes with the leaches.
Of course, belief in “climate change” has caused Lindsey to give up his own fossil fueled lifestyle and go carbon neutral.
I would have to agree with him in the respect of…..
This is true…..If he wants to believe in climate change. So be it…but I do believe that the GOP has one policy to address the climate.
and that policy is to deny anything the left wants to do…..
I believe the planet is warming and that this most certainly is going to result in climates changing……
The right simply has no plan and no policy other then to drill baby drill.
Well we drilled and drilled and drilled and now we are awash in oil….so now what?
The rallying cry of the right right now is WE ARE NOT OBAMA…….
I see nothing thats gonna get a Republican elected NATIONALLY with a perceived persona as being literally against everything ever thought up.
The party of NO is hard to portray in local and state elections but nationally the GOP comes off as just how they are wrongly portrayed….
Homophobic, women hating, Hispanic hating, Black Hating, Jew Loving, Religious zealots who will take away your welfare, and every other safety net and give all that money to wall street.
The GOP still has no message…or a message that will resonate with the MODERATE INDEPENDENTS that will get them elected nationally.
Im a conservative but I hold out almost no hope for the GOP coming up in 2016.
And this is most likely why the GOP has not policy on the environment….which is sad because the people might not claim that its a major issue….it is in fact an issue that must be addressed by the GOP if they hope to win the hearts and minds of the independents in the coming 2016 national election.
Are you willing to change your lifestyle and go over and fight ISIS?
Unless you are willing to go 100% nutty on ISIS then why should anyone believe your views that ISIS is a security threat to the USA?
As for 90% of doctors telling you to use doctors????? I haven’t seen anything to suggest that statement is true.
That girl is 14 years old. The cop was also screaming racial profanities. He should not be allowed to have a gun or be a policeman. why should anyone pay taxes to be used to pay the salary of any public servant that used racial profanity. would you accept that behavior from any civil servant
Do you think HIS behavior may have escalated the situation? I expect and demand better behavior from someone like a policeman than I do from teens.
[…] Pirate’sCove: Lindsay Graham Goes Climahysteric, Desperately Wants To Be Democrat Nominee. […]
But john, the US Navy says ISIS is a threat to the US. Why don’t you believe the US Navy? Do you know more about ISIS and it threats than the US Navy?
The Vatican believes that ISIS is a threat and a direct threat to the Pope.
Are you suddenly not listening to the Pope john?
Even the FBI gets in on the warning:
If you don’t like the FBI, how about Homeland Security?
So john, are you saying you know more about ISIS than the Navy, the Pope, the FBI and Homeland Security?
New World Order. Progressives believe for some bizzare reason that if we all sing kum bye ahh the world will break out into a “Id like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony!” and we will all just love each other and totally concede our free wills to the grand collective of the new world order.
ISIS is no threat…..Icebergs and Conservatives are the enemy.
