Liberty Hater Lindsay Graham supports Cap-and-Tax
http://americaswatchtower.com/2009/10/11/lindsay-graham-supports-th...

Once the healthcare reform debate is behind us there are a couple of more battles that we must fight–illegal immigration and climate change. The House has already passed its climate change bill but it has disappeared in the senate amidst the healthcare debate. It has been forgotten about but it is not gone. Recently the talks about acting on the climate change legislation have begun to resurface. It appears as though the senate will tackle this legislation next as it is farther along in the process.

Senator Lindsay Graham has co-written a piece for the New York Times along with John Kerry in which he gives his support for the climate change legislation. The legislation that they are proposing has some good ideas in it– building more nuclear plants and more domestic exploration for oil– but the problem remains that an “aggressive” cap and trade proposal remains in this bill.

Apparently Lindsay Graham is supporting the cap and trade portion of this legislation. John Kerry has been a leading proponent in this tax system so I can only guess that if Lindsay Graham is teaming up with John Kerry that he sympathizes with John Kerry’s cap and trade position. The same goes for another Republican– John McCain. John McCain is also working with John Kerry in trying to force this tax on the American people.

Democrats support for the House bill has been described as mild at best so this is a win for Democrats who will need Republican support to pass any cap and tax legislation. Unfortunately Lindsay Graham just won re-election last year so by the time of his re-election bid the voters may have forgotten about this. At least he is hoping that they will.

This bill still has a long way to go before it ever becomes law. There are some good portions of this bill but the fact remains that this whole bill focuses around the cap and trade aspect of the bill.

As long as cap and trade remains in the bill I can not support it. The cap and trade portion of this bill looks like it will play the same role that the “public option” portion of the healthcare bill has been playing. This will be the part of the bill that people and politicians either rally to or run from.

The debate on this bill has not begun yet but it is coming. It is never too early to start calling and writing your representatives. We are going to have to be heard on this issue as loudly as we can be. I think that this bill still faces some huge hurdles. Surely the far left will disagree with the oil exploration and the increased nuclear plants while the right will oppose cap and trade, but we can’t remain silent.

We can’t afford to have more Republicans come out in support of cap and trade, let them know that we are watching them.
