Well said, but I’ll bet McCain votes for the final product.
You can take it to the bank McCain will not be voting for this compromise. I heard him last night and he is one angry person as they have items in this bill that do not belong because they are items like the Pell Grants that come through with the Appropriation Bills not to mention all the pork.
McCain only voted for the last stimulus package because he believed Pres Bush which was a mistake as we have learned afterward.
The one thing I have stood behind McCain on over the years is his fight against pork and earmarks. No one has fought harder to end pork. They will never get his vote on this bill until they scrap the entire bill, start over and leave out all pork. He made that extremely clear last night along with the fact that the current occupant of the WH damaged his chances at bi-partisanship on future bills with his attacks against the GOP on this bill.
McCain and others referenced that ONLY two Republicans worked on this bill and would likely vote for it while we had 11 Democrats in the House that voted against it that everyone is ignoring. Loved the part about two Republicans does not make a bi-partisan bill.
McCain and the rest amazed me last night with their speeches. I would have expected Thune’s and Session’s along with Dr. Tom but not McCain, Graham, Martinez and the new Senator from Nebraska. Was proud of those guys last night for not only standing up on the floor of the Senate but the Senators that went on the news shows with the truth.
