McCain has faults big spending and pork ain't one of them.

McCain is right about the Republican Congress and President Bush for not using the veto pen. They spent like drunken sailors.

This article is next phase of the news media attack on McCain. They are trying to target the base now.

yeah it was Bush who came up with the whole idea of compassionate conservatism that led to all this mess. He wasn’t just soft on spending, he believed in it.

You got that right.

[Perdogg]

The next wave of articles will imply that McCain really wanted Lieberman.

Agree with you 100%! Anyone that can defend Pres Bush not using the veto pen on runaway spending is not a fiscal conservative. Bush has been all about big programs that need more bags of money like NLCB. The Republican Congress under Hastert and Lott/Frist didn’t think anything of spending big dollars on programs that went nowhere.

You are so right they spent like drunken sailors. If Pres Bush would have used his clout on energy instead of programs like NCLB maybe we would have had an energy policy.
