WASHINGTON (AP) The Senate has killed an alternative economic stimulus plan by Sen. John McCain that would have cut income and payroll taxes but spent far less than President Obama's plan.
The party-line 57-40 vote against McCain's $421 billion plan came Thursday as a group of moderate Democrats and Republicans struggled to cut up to $100 billion from Obama's version.

Maybe McCain will finally see the light...or maybe not. Only time will tell.
Jet Jock John had better dig his heals in and fight hard to defeat this pig trough faux stimulus garbage bill. His buddies on the democrat side really crossed the ailse for him didn’t they.
The Commie ‘RATS have a lot of paybacks they need to dish out to the maggots who gave them total control of the government back in November. Especially the worthless, greedy scumbags in the “environmental movement.”
Here’s McCain site to vote NO on the stimulus plan as it is now.

If the “Moderate” Republicans and Democrats cut 100 Billion from this pork-bloated monster of a bill, it will still be over $850 Billion in useless spending and will be just as destructive to the economy. The only principled position is to vote NO to the whole bloody mess.
The economy self-corrects. We should not let the ‘Rats use economic hard times to justify the passage of their usual tax-and-spend fantasies.
Hey, Juan! All your buddies across the aisle that you keep reaching out to them... they just biotch-slapped you to the tune of 57-0. CAN YOU HEAR THEM NOW?
Of course they would kill it — there isn’t enough pork, wasted spending, and payback in it. The Democrats could give a rip less about the taxpayer as long as they can buy votes with some giveaway program.
You know all Republicans need to oppose this crapola when friggin’ McCain’s amendment is defeated by the Dems.
I think it’s kinda ironic how now McCain is so angry about this stimulus bill but had NO issue suspending his campaign to go to Washington and vote YES on a bailout NO ONE wanted. Where was the outrage then McCain
If Obama wants his stimulus, he should ram it through with Democratic votes. Other than voting no when the time comes, the Republicans need to stay on the sidelines.
They need to cut waaaay more than 1 Billion from this monstrosity.......
It will be interesting to see what McCain does next.
hey McWuss ask your rats friends where they lost 78 billion dollars when they through out the first 350 billion
If Obama wants his stimulus, he should ram it through with Democratic votes. Other than voting no when the time comes, the Republicans need to stay on the sidelines.
He NEEDS Republicans to vote for this right along with the Dems, that way when this pork package FAILS and fails miserably, he can say “Well, Republicans wanted it too”
EXACTLY!!
He should have have taken a vocal stand against that outrage. After all, we all see how well that one worked. /s
We'll see if he ends up voting for this next OUTRAGE....
of course, at this point, it will do no good anyway.
“They need to cut waaaay more than 1 Billion from this monstrosity.”
Even if they cut it 100 billion at this point they aren’t even back down the what the original amount was!
The necessary self-correction is painful, and pain in the populace doesn't get Obama re-elected. We want to have our party, but don't want to have to deal with the hangover.
