John Kerry: He was for putting out a framework before he was against it

Got Ideas About a Climate [Swindle] Bill? Kerry, Graham and Lieberman Want to Hear From You - NYTimes.com

Sens. John Kerry (D-Mass.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) all said over the past week that they have been making it perfectly clear to everyone that they are open to new ideas when it comes to tackling climate change.
...
"We're just going to keep everything on the table and not putting out a framework at this point," said Kerry, the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee.
...
[Ben] Nelson said he has not had detailed conversations yet with Kerry, Graham and Lieberman. But he said he is open to negotiations on setting a limit on greenhouse gas emissions. "I want to see what the legislation does," he said. "I said I can support cap. I have trouble with cap and trade, the trade part of it. So if it's cap and trade, watered down, and it's only the trade watered down, that won't satisfy me."
...
"I'm very skeptical of cap-and-trade as a concept," said Sen. Jim Webb (D-Va.), who said he would rather see the Senate move legislation he co-sponsored with Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) that emphasizes funding for clean energy technology (E&ENews PM, Nov. 16, 2009).
...
In the search for votes, Lieberman said he is counting on Graham and at least two more Republicans. "We assume we have Collins and Snowe."

But try telling that to the Mainers.
