Good for him. That’s actually being a maverick in a good cause.

This is one of the few things that makes me inclined to hold my nose and vote for the SOB. That and his courageous vote against the Medicare prescription drug giveaway to geezers.

Wow!
A non-pandering stand by McCain?
I didn't think it was possible.

I agree with him, and I’m impressed that he would say it frankly to their faces.

Wow, I like the crusty “white haired guy” more and more.
How many pols would have the stones to do this. Not very many at all.
Bravo, BIG JOHN!

What ever happened to the french fries grease thing that Willie Nelson was supposedly using to propel his BIG tour bus down the road?

On the other side, the messiah is telling oil producing states to stop drilling.

that was his position from the beginning. Free trade and no corporate welfare.

I am no fan of McCain, but I’m genuinely impressed to his showing some backbone to the ethanol lobby in Iowa. Now, if he would only do the same to the illegal alien lobby, I would not only vote for him, but enthusiastically support him.

Subsidized labor costs by supporting illegal immigration is the ultimate form of corporate welfare.

Wow. This actually took guts. It may cost him IA, but he’s absolutely right.

What the frick is wrong with using OIL?
It’s a natural substance that replenishes and we have plenty of it. Ethanol is not.
If we don’t use it, it will boil up from the earth and THAT would be a real big mess. LOL Maybe not so funny, hmmmm?
