Sen. Graham(R) censured by republicans for sensible climate stance
The Republican has often worked with Democrats in Congress, but Charleston County Chairwoman Lin Bennett says his work on climate legislation is the last straw.
The party resolution passed Monday says Graham has weakened the Republican brand. Bennett expects a similar resolution to be introduced at the state GOP convention next year.
Bennett called his views "out of step with the beliefs of Republican voters."
Graham hasn't been able to catch a break back home lately. The American Energy Alliance, a shadowy group backed by dirty energy interests, has spent $300,000 on radio ads in the state lambasting Graham for supporting "a national energy tax called cap-and-trade."

I guess dirty energy breeds dirty politics.

one way or another, politics comes into play for everything attached to a dollar,..and the bigger the dollars, the more corrupt and evil it gets.
republicans are a "brand" now...and they are not marketing themselves very well cause they have no brand identity..the brand is focusing on making sure that everyone gets enough pollution to kill themselves,..because cap-n-trade will reduce profits.

Hey, if you let him get away with facing the realities of climate change, it's just a matter of time before he starts believing in gravity, a spherical earth, and evolution.

Heaven forbid a Republican legislator break ranks with is party and participate in legislating. Shame on him.

Hmm...so Charleston County Chairwoman Lin Bennett thinks that Republican voters have beliefs instead of views or opinions. I find the choice of words interesting.

what a bunch of lemmings!! I wish Al "the hypocrite" Gore would send some global warming my way.....it's freezing here!! It's amazing how many sheeple believe this crap of global warming. But like the song says, "if you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything". Good luck trying to stay warm this winter....maybe you can burn some of Al's money to stay nice and toasty. Idiots
