Try to catch up, Senator. It has already been proven that the original design of the bridge was at fault.

[Bean Counter]

It’s also a fact that Minneapolis deferred improvements on that bridge in favor of building Loot Rail, (Google “Hiawatha Line” for info...)

Actually, I agree with his basic premise - That many deserving activities of the Gov’t are shortchanged by political necessities in the form of ‘Pork’.

I just don't think anyone is going to change Human nature. Pork will be with us forever, albeit in a less identifiable form.

He got it half right

[Bahbah]

It just makes me want to weep. The president of the United States needs to bother to know what the facts are and then to operate from that basis.

Yes, it was a design flaw that caused that bridge to collapse, but John McCain never goes beyond what he hears in sound bites and headlines.

The other two candidates operate from ideology. He just doesn’t care to pay attention.

Uff-DUH!

dont take Obama oot the headlines...again

What McCain is saying here is that pork-barrel projects in the Federal budget during the last few years were the cause of the collapse of a bridge with a flawed design that was constructed in 1967.

Hey, why not. Makes about as much sense as any of the other sh!t coming out of the mouths of these three @ssholes running for the White House.

Personally, I think it had more to do with Gravity.

But since our candidate says “money spent elsewhere” had more to do with it, I must defer. After all, he did straighten out those pesky North Carolina Republicans last week, didn’t he?

What a Maroon. It’s like the Rats saying the War In Iraq takes money away from their Socialist Welfare State.

[jimfree]

Wasn’t there a faked inspection or two that contributed to the collapse?

[hsalaw]

Could be worse. He could have blamed it on Pres. Bush.
