When a politician strongly advocates a policy direction, the first thing to do is follow the dollars to find out why he/she is advocating “we” go in that direction. Senator Graham’s motives must be examined in this light, as should be all “lawmakers.”

The first suspicion arises when he justifies his support based upon discredited science. Means he hasn’t taken the time to find out that he’s sitting out there with very few supporters. The claptrap that Gore has been spewing for years is no longer given any credence by serious scientists who were not being subsidized by a government committed to grabbing control of the entire energy sector.

The questions that should be asked about Senator Graham’s position is

1. Who benefits from it if his suggestions for legislation are followed?

2. Follow the dollars and see from where they come to where they finally end up.

In ANY legislators case, the money stream may start and end up in the lap of an entity that has supported the politician’s election and reelection efforts.

Altruism may have broken out in any case, but that would be rare.

As a case in point, here’s information on one of Al Gore’s business connections. He’s a Founder and Chairman of the Board of the company.

Because they were few I remember which ones crossed the aisle: Collins, Snowe, (Coleman, Smith and Chaffee, who have been voted out since)Specter (who became a D),and Hatch (EVs)

It has been heartbreaking to see one political party simply refuse to believe the facts because of political dogma, and sadder still to see that this dogma chooses profit over people. Hopefully we are seeing a shift in that stance.

Here’s a hint about the USA two party system, both the Democrats & Republicans want to pit the voters for either side against one another.

That way you’re all way too busy yelling at each other to pay attention to the elected .GOV employees that keep screwing things up behind your backs while you’re not paying attention to them…
