AP ^ | 2009-02-08

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Sen. John McCain says that Democratic lawmakers putting together an economic stimulus plan are no more open to input from the opposing party than the GOP was during the Bush administration.

The Arizona Republican says that he thought there was going to be a change in the tone of partisanship in Washington when the Obama administration took over, but he adds that he's not seeing it.

McCain says he favors an economic stimulus bill about half the size of the $820 billion package the Democrats favor.

Shut up with your bipartisan crap McCain. The Dems will never be “bipartisan”. They are out for themselves. You must be brain dead to have worked up there for decades now and can’t see that. And when a Republican is “bipartisan” it means they have to turn into a Democrat. You are a silly old coot McCain.

And for McCain’s information, President Bush did just about all the reaching across the aisle that a human could possibly do, and drew back a bloodied hand each time.

Just goes to show we need to start really weeding through our ‘12 candidates now. McCain is not going to be it again.

Failing in his bid for President, John McCain campaigns for Captain Obvious.

The point being...HE’S STILL IN FAVOR OF A PORKULUS BILL, just one that doesn’t cost as much.

For now. They can come back for more money later. *Rolleyes*

A hopelessly out of touch imbecile who thinks he’s saying what others believe.

Still, he’d be better than the thug who’s up there now.

Not much "reaching across the aisle" these days, Juan, now that the Dems have a solid majority? Will you ever learn?
