“When is Washington going to wake up, and actually learn”

When we throw the bums out on their asses.
When we surround the capital with pitchforks.
When we forcefully remove the unconstitutional president Odooma.

they will never learn because they don’t listen.......

Suddenly McCain is admirable and brave to the MSM again. They trashed him like demons during the election.

McCain is right on this one!

McCain has always been a fiscal conservative. Always.

The top earmarker in this bill is Republican Senator Thad Cochran... 204 earmarks worth $470 million dollars in his name. And 6 of the top 10 earmarkers are Republican. What are you gonna do about them?

>>McCain has always been a fiscal conservative. Always.

As much as I had to hold my nose for the REST of his agenda and history, particularly his “capitulating to the enemy” (aka “Being a Maverick”) and destroying the 1st Amendment and, of course, embracing 20 million illegals, I must agree McCain has been a fiscal conservative when direct bills have been offered.

He ran back to Washington as fast as he could to pass the the first bail out bill then he handed us Obama.

Senate ignores McCain, keeps thousands in earmarks...is the headline seen when opening the yahoo web site. Thousands IN earmarks is so misleading. It should have said thousands OF earmarks (about 8500, in fact). What AP won't do to make O look good|

I don’t think we can call anyone who agreed to send $700 billion to Wall Street a fiscal conservative, it’s just too laughable. Nevertheless, he’s more so than Zero; and he does have a weird obsession with earmarks ...

That was out of character.
