McCain says he supports tax deal, despite ethanol concerns (McCain sides with Dems, Obama)
The Hill, Washington, DC ^ | 2010-12-10 | Elise Viebeck

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) took to Twitter on Friday to say he has "serious concerns w/ some provisions" of the tax legislation unveiled by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), but that he'll support it anyway.

The bill, introduced Thursday, leaves President Obama's compromise largely unaltered but adds tax credits for alternative energy, energy-efficient homes and other "green" efforts. These provisions aim to soothe liberal Democrats who oppose the deal's extension of tax cuts for the wealthy.

I would like to take a moment to say a very public thank you to Sarah Palin for her unwavering support of RINO-in-Chief McCain. Well Done Sarah, thanks for standing by your “princ......” Oh never mind.

Every Senator and Congressman/woman who votes for this abomination should be booted the next time they are up for re-election!

I’m not fan of McCain (who is?), but your knock on Sarah is PURE CRAP!

I thank McCain for 2 things, supporting a victory in Iraq, and nominating Sarah Palin.

Maverick!

Guess what, middle class and poor people do not benefit from ethanol subsidy, nor wind/solar subsidy.

Meet the new boss

I hope the idiots that voted for this loon in AZ are happy! Although, I’m sure they have no idea of the level of this man’s insanity. They just voted for a “war hero” and/or a name they recognized in the booth.

I see that you are being ridiculed for you statement. I for one support it. Those who don’t see it are repeating the mentality of the last decade that led to Rhino land.

“I’m going to fight to make sure every American has every reason to thank God, as I thank Him: that I’m an American, a proud citizen of the greatest country on earth, and with hard work, strong faith and a little courage, great things are always within our reach!

Fight with me!

Fight with me!

Fight for what’s right for our country!

Fight for the ideals and character of a free people!

Fight for our children’s future!

Fight for justice and opportunity for all!

Stand up to defend our country from its enemies!

Stand up for each other; for beautiful, blessed, bountiful America!

Stand up, stand up, stand up and fight!

Nothing is inevitable here. We’re Americans, and we never give up!

We never quit!

We never hide from history. We make history!

Thank you, and God Bless you.”
