McCain: stimulus bill has too much spending
AP ^ | 2009-02-02

WASHINGTON -- Senator John McCain says there's too much unnecessary spending and too few tax cuts in the Obama administration's economic proposals to stimulate the economy.

The Arizona Republican and former presidential candidate also complains the plan has no "endgame."

Interviewed Monday on CBS's "The Early Show," McCain said that after the economy recovers the U.S. should "be on a path to a balanced budget."

Instead, he says, the Democrats' plan would burden future generations of Americans with the biggest budget deficit in history.

He says it's time for both parties to sit down and negotiate. He says the Democrats need to consider his party's concerns, especially on cutting taxes.

You really need to grow up. All your little man threats about a list and how you’ll be watching really makes you sound like a nutjob.

You have an annoying habit of pinging your posse when addressing comments to me.

That is, no doubt, because you recognize that you’re in over your head. Hence, the plaintiff cry for help.

But, alas, all too often you’re left stranded, alone and at my mercy by the aforementioned posse.

While your desperate pleas for the rescue party to come to you much needed aid are understandable they are, nonetheless, pathetic.

*Ping!* for reference purposes.

Oh, and Cedric, I ping other Freepers because, well, you know, it's never smart to go walking about in dark alleys alone, especially with you watching me.

No.

No, just a healthy revulsion for the incessant, obsessive, neurotic, “McCain-Is-An-SOB-RINO” fetish constantly polluting my beloved Free Republic.

That's only because McCain is an SOB RINO and the only people supporting his worthless ass at this point are his groin leeches. Obviously that sentiment isn't going to disappear from FR so you need to grow a thicker skin.

Um, but he is an SOB RINO!

And, it's part of the cleansing, especially after FR got infested by McCainiacs during the election cycle.

Now you’ve done it. There’s a double underline under our names on his hit list now. See what happens when you over stimulate the child troll? He gets all worked up like a Ridlin deprived ADHD brat. Best solution is for all to ignore him.

Excellent advice... look at yourself in the mirror as you say it ten times. THEN you can give it as advice to someone else.

(And don’t forget to double or triple underline MY name on your list.)

The healing will begin when McCain, Graham, and the rest of the RINOs, as well as their apologists, are expelled from the Republican Party. Then, and ONLY then.

Only one way left for McCain, that is to stand up against this bill and others that follow. He has to declare this bill bogus, not try to make a deal, and tell his lib friends to F off.

Short of that, he proves what a total traitor he is.

There is no way to make this bill palatable, just no way.

Good analogy. The purpose of elevator music is to melodically lobotomize people in public places to keep them peaceful. That is very similar to what Dem-Lite RINOism is about. Keep the sheeple half asleep so that centralized government can grow unopposed. Music is meant to energize passions while elevator music is meant to quell them. RINOs aim to subvert and quell conservatism.

Every time you see the word ‘purists’ used it is out of the mouths of I have read the report and I approve of liberalism lite. This bunch does not have a clue what it literally means to protect the God given declared RIGHTS. It is all about cheap labor to them because they are tooooooo lazy to clean their own toilets and mow their own lawns. It is all about their bottom dollars and to not get harnessed as being a the bunch of hick redneck religious extremists, that embarrass them. They in literal terms are a bunch of elitists pretenders and do not have the stamina to do anything on their own. Protect their bottom dollars and their health care and their SSI check and they are happy as larks.

Purists is a pejorative against people who would not let themselves be seduced into pretending to be compassionate demanding cheap labor forces.

Then get rid of the vermin.

It took me a few jumps to figure out what this interchange is about.

I understand that Republican elected must claim on camera they want to work with democrats, PR for clueless public. Problem is McCain and many republicans in Senate are not trustworthy and may really mean it.

Back last year I was telling Freepers we need to covertly encourage the moonbats to push Obama to go Chavis, the more outragous the better. Pelosi’s stimulus bill is a perfect example, it stinks to high heaven and even the RINO’s cant support it. In this way Pelosi is our ally, she is nuts, she will drive democrat train off the track if she is allowed. We really should contact her office and thank her for her compassion to us on food stamps, victims of 8 years of republican greed (without laughing.) My biggest fears is democrats will add a few goodies to buy Senate republicans.

Not sure what we can do about RINOs, except contact them and send them opinion polls that favor us. In many cases they have very liberal voters putting us in a tight situation in Senate.

I know you are, but it’s OK not to publicly out yourself here on FR. Go check your meds again.
