McCain promised that if a pork-laden bill crossed his desk, he would veto it. A bill with more pork than the entire (insert your favorite pig metaphor here) actually crosses his desk, and he approves it. So much for that promise.
I know. This whole thing stinks.
THIS WHOLE BILL IS PORK.
Exactly what I was thinking. Extremely disappointing, to say the least. I don't really have any satisfactory candidate to vote for this November -- but since the alternative is horrifying, I'll still be voting McCain (and hoping that Palin's more strict conservatism serves as an influencing factor and seeps into his skull a bit, though I am not holding my breath on that hope).
I am sure the democrats are already crafting a flip flopper ad to use against McCain.
McCain has okayed all the pork in this bill, that will be the tone of the ad.
