weasel words:
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) blamed Al Gore in a speech for the fact that people of my party are all over the board when it comes to thinking climate change is real.
Said Graham: I said that its real, that man has contributed to it in a substantial way. But the problem is Al Gores turned this thing into religion. You know, climate change is not a religious problem for me, its an economic, it is an environmental problem.

. . . . that made even mentioning the words "global warming" or accepting the possibility that he might have been right all along impossible, then yes, Lindsey.
Otherwise, Shut. The. Fuck. Up.

there is always a scapegoat. No Republican has ever personally been responsible for any wrongdoing. Any wrong caused by Republican action is in response to some nefarious plot, some wildly crazy scheme by some bad guy or secretive group.
