McCain is up to his old tricks again. Trying to reach across the aisle!
To: bestintxas
In watching the Senate Proceedding today, doesn’t look likely they will even let him speak, LOL! They are putting him off until tomorrow, yeah right!
To: bestintxas
He is so very maverick, really shaking things up by taking what the democrats give him, tweaking it slightly, and selling it as the new and improved stimulus.

Just let it die and start all over again. If we force them to do that over and over again, it may be 50 years before the people elect another Dimmocrat.

They do have the vote but they do not want to vote without getting some Republicans with them so they can share the blame when this catastrophic welfare and pork bill fails.

While they fiddle around trying to figure out how much money it will take to “save” the economy, they could have slashed corporate and personal taxes and opened lines of credit for businesses back in September, and we probably wouldn’t even need a “stimulus” bill right now.

"Leave it to McKeating to cross the aisle and lick their hands." I didn't catch that! McCain licked a Conservative's hand? ;-)

Yep - take everything out of the bill that doesn’t involve a tax cut and voila! Porkulus becomes Stimulus.

McCain needs to stop trying so hard and let the democrat bill die.
