Pressure Builds… Lindsey Graham May Pull Support for Cap & Tax Bill
Posted by Jim Hoft on Saturday, April 24, 2010, 2:31 PM
US Senate RINO Lindsey Graham threatened Team Obama that he would pull his support for their cap-&-tax bill if the democrats proceeded with immigration legislation.
What this has to do with cap-&-tax is anyone’s guess.
Maybe Lindsey is feeling the heat from the nation’s conservatives who oppose the amnesty and gas tax proposed by the far left?
The Hill reported:
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Saturday that he will be “unable to move forward” with the upcoming climate and energy bill he’s crafting if Democratic leaders push ahead with plans to move immigration legislation.
Graham’s declaration could halt or unravel the months-long effort to craft a compromise climate measure he has undertaken with Sens. John Kerry (D-Mass.) and Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.). The measure is slated to be unveiled Monday.
“I want to bring to your attention what appears to be a decision by the Obama Administration and Senate Democratic leadership to move immigration instead of energy,” Graham wrote in a letter Saturday.
“Unless their plan substantially changes this weekend, I will be unable to move forward on energy independence legislation at this time. I will not allow our hard work to be rolled out in a manner that has no chance of success,” he added.
Lindsey Graham’s DC phone number is 202-224-5972.

Do you suppose there is something in the water in DC that twists minds into pretzels? Members of both parties have caught this disease of not making any sense.
Jo commented:
What needs reform on immigration anyway? In California, Special Order 20, they never give illegals any ticket, unless it is an obvious felony. All misdemeanors are forgiven on the street by police. They say, ‘just move along.’ this is actually real. I guess Obama wants to make it a real thing, rather than some ‘special order,’ secret like!

Hey Oblabla keep pushing your marxist agenda. The Won if he doesn’t play the martial law card will find his democrat congresscritters will get an 1894 type defeat at the hands of the voters.
In 1894 a clueless democrat president, the loony democrat left’s endorsement of debasing the currency, a deep depression the democreeps heaped on the country in 1893, and the party’s collobaration with street thuggery anarchist violence embracing unions and strikers led voters to retire 122 democrat congresscreeps and relegate the party to irrelevancy for a generation.

Where can one find California special order 20 .
Ripped commented:
Lindsey Graham is a perfect example of what is wrong with the Republican party, if the man had a conservative bone in his body he wouldn’t even consider supporting Crap & Tax much less using immigration as a hold out. The Neo-Con’s have to go I’d vote for a Dem before I would vote for that POS.
Valerie commented:
Graham is only telling Team Obama he can count.
Barbarian commented:
Once the Republican’s take control of congress in 2011, the RNC, in no uncertain terms, should publicly announce that Mr. Little Boy Haircut RINO Graham gets ZERO funding. ZERO! and will be considered a pariah within the party.
Reconstitution commented:
I found an LAPD Special Order 40 that fits the above description of CA Special Order 20, but no info about CA Special Order 20. Anyone have a link to it?
Valerie commented:
Barbarian,
Dream on, oh fake conservative. Conservatives who toss people who agree with them on most issues are never going to carry the nation as a whole.
The Democratic Party would dearly love to see the Republicans make the same mistake in the upcoming election, as they did in the last one.

Well Senator Graham, most of us would be delighted to see “no chance of success”, you feckless liberal stooge.

I recall ol’ Lindsey saying he’d never work with the Dems again if they rammed through the HCB.
Later, he was asked about that statement on Laura Ingraham’s radio show and he repeated his promise. He was ‘that mad.’ Then we heard he was working on this energy bill.
Keep the pressure on him. Let him know he’s hurting his best buddy, Johnny Mac; since we can’t get to him this year, we’re sending money to McC’s opponent instead. What’ll he do in Washington without his pal?
(Is this an attempt to pressure Dems to put immigration aside ’til *after* the midterm elections? A vote by J. McC. before then would not be helpful.)

I think that the rumors that LG is gay and that the Dems are black-maling him may well be true.
There’s no other explanation for his ridiculous antics.
DaMav commented:
Look at the quote from his letter at the source: ““I am very disappointed with this turn of events and believe their decision flies in the face of commitments made weeks ago to Senators Kerry, Lieberman and me. ”
He sounds like an 8th grader who just figured out why his first girlfriend was going over to the football captain’s house to ‘study’ for the last 2 months. Did he really trust Obama that blindly? What a yawper.
nadadhimmi commented:
So this scum Graham says Illegal aliens must not be supported only if the fraudulent global warming bill is pursued? What a pos. He will support the illegals if the Dems don’t follow thru on the fraudulent climate bill? This guy Graham is a nightmare and North Carolina should be ashamed of him.

Maybe Lindsey Graham did see that homoerotic spoof on FreeRepublic of an Calvin Klein billboard with John Mccain putting his loving hands around the naked Lindsey Graham and Joe Lieberman
