Sen. Graham in hot water at home over global warming

Some South Carolina Republicans are not happy with their own Sen. Lindsey Graham.

Last night the Charleston County Republican Party’s Executive Committee voted to formally censure Graham for supporting a climate change bill, bailing out banks, and granting amnesty for illegal aliens.

"Charleston County Republican voters have grown increasingly frustrated with Senator Graham and his voting record, which are frankly out of step with the beliefs of Republican voters,” said Charleston County Republican Party Chairwoman Lin Bennett. “This vote should not surprise any of us. What this shows us is that Charleston County Republicans are demanding better from Senator Graham."

Graham has been working with Sens. John Kerry, D-Mass., and Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., on bipartisan legislation that would require companies to cut pollution or buy credits from companies that decrease carbon emissions -- which contributes to global warming.

The resolution ends with an appeal to the state party to rescind a commendation of Graham.

“The Charleston County Republican Party Executive Committee respectfully requests, with sincere sadness, that the South Carolina Republican Party withdraw their resolution commending U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham,” reads the resolution.

The Miami Herald reported last week that Graham told reporters on Wednesday: “Our goal is to create a vision that not only will help this planet, which I think is in peril, but will create millions of new jobs for Americans who need them, and help us become energy independent to make us safer.”

We're waiting for a response from the senator on the Charleston County GOP resolution.
