Perhaps McCain’s best vote ever.
I guess we need to go back to the drawing table and define "conservative."
Tom Delays life time rating 92.9!
I wonder if this is a reverse psychology move to get us to defend McInsane.
Of all his votes, I think this one against bloating up the govt. was one of his better ones.
But I still don’t like him.
“IMO, you and others of your ilk are a large part of why the Rep Party is in the mess it is today.”
Careful, or the gang that covers for the likes of Delay, Denny “Star Spangled Banner” Hastert, Bill “HCA” Frist, and other crew members of HMS (republican) Titanic, will come along and rearrange your deck chairs!
Every Republican should have opposed it!
On this issue I am pro-McCain and anti-Delay.
Tom delay thanks so much for your “fiscal conservatives” that just cut taxes and bloated the budget. Yes, it helped the economy for a few years but we will forget that soon. We won’t forget the huge fiscal burden we’re about to face because you didn’t want to cut medicare.
but then they’d be traitors to the GOP
See, this is why the GOP is in the tailspin that it’s in. There was a time that they’d abolish programs and departments instead of making them more “conservative.”
Frankly, after watching W's revelations in the form of spending, immigration ,etc. I'm finally convinced there is no difference between the parties, just a lot of 'differences' on issues that they gin up every election cycle to keep us, their supporters on the plantation.
What a joke and a really bad one at that.
This was the vote where they held it open for 3 hours so the republicans could arm-twist their own members, in one case threatening to run an opponent against them, until they could talk enough into voting FOR this plan.
DeLay may be right that it’s stupid to cut off feet because you couldn’t buy drugs, but this was one of the Good votes by McCain.
Weird.
At least we both see Shelly Sekula Gibbs in the same light.
For Social Security recipients, they see their annual benefits increased around two percent, while their charges for Medicare and the prescription drug plans increase twice as fast, and deducted from their benefits before checks are issued.
They wouldn’t be traitors to the Republican Party, only to One World Socialist Bush.
Personally, i’m stuck with having to buy that crap since i’m 70.
