Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said on Sunday he'll vote against President Barack Obama’s stimulus bill, calling the legislation “generational theft” in an interview on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”
“I thought we were going to have change," he said, in a shot at Obama's campaign slogan, "and that change meant we work together. This is a setback. This is a setback to all Americans because you promised Americans we’d work in a more bipartisan fashion, and that certainly is not the case in this bill,” McCain said.
McCain said the bill would saddle Americans with billions in future debt, and contained protectionist provisions that could be damaging to the economy.
“We’re going to amass the largest debt in the history of this country by any measurement, and we’re going to ask our kids and grandkids to pay for it,” McCain said.
“I know we’re in trouble. I know America needs a stimulus, we need tax cuts, we need to spend money on infrastructure and other programs that will put people to work. But this is not it.”

McCain is to blame for this Hussein atrocity.
Negotiate? McCain's idea of "negotiation" involves giving the Democrats everything they want and then some. The old fool is fairly predictable. Just you wait and see.
woh d00d. curley braces and pipes... drink sommore Mountain Dew. You’re running low. That stuff belongs on your ~other~ paper... :D
Arrogant.
Yep. That's what I said.
Congrats on electing Odooma, you should be happy.
Had McCain been following orders, he would not have been shot down.
Because of his ego, he lost a total of 4 taxpayer’s aircrafts. At least one of them (there may have two) because he was flying drunk.
No one would touch him because his grandfather and father were admirals.
But he was bright enough to graduate fifth in his class…fifth from the bottom.
And yes he is an idot, idot.
Got me, scumbody?
Regular or Code Red? :P
The abused wife syndrome is moving up to a new level. Now McRINO is "the Repubs" and we should no doubt be thankful that McCain helped keep Feingold from making CFR a liberal assault on the 1st Amendment. If it weren't for McCain Lieberman and 0bama might write a bad Cap & Trade/Climate Change bill. If not for McCain the liberals would write the Shamnesty bills.
Socialized medicine was a lock ever since Duncan Hunter stepped out of the race. Everyone from that point on was *for* socialized medicine, including McCain't.
Really? He helped the Dems get their way on the WOT the last 8 years? You speak a lot of garbage.
What a narcissistic F’n moron!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We are in the early stages of “change,” a socialistic, new world order, distroyed US super power change.
Try reaching across that aisle, friend, er comrade!
False.
Unfortunately, Hunter was never really 'in' the race, not was Tom, nor Fred.
destroyed .... sorry.
idot = imbecile/idiot
McLame is just being two-faced on this issue, there is no way around it.
He didn’t have a problem with the frickin’ stimulus he rushed to put through when he suspended his campaign! He says that the stimulus is bad but that we need a stimulus. Talking out of both sides of his face. What he means is that a stimulus is ok as long as it is HIS stimulus. A real conservative would be pushing for no stimulus at all and would be calling for massive tax cuts, that is the only stimulus our country needs, the stimulus of less government in business and in our lives.
Them that can brag, let 'em.
Every time the 1%ers here say it ain't gonna work, it doesn't, and every time they say it will, it does. We've been calling these races all the way along, because we are not influenced by Republicanism, nor pragmatism, nor shiny things, nor even wookies.
And we, as Reaganites (for the most part), having an interest in all three legs of Conservatism, are representative of all three legs. Because of that, we make a better barometer for what the Conservatives abroad are doing than those here who have other primary interests.
It isn't any harder than understanding that ever since Reagan, races have always been the Republican's to lose. What causes them to win is Conservatism. What causes them to lose is the lack thereof.
And the definition of Conservatism is the ability to harness all three pillars of Conservatism. If the candidate cannot do that, he will not win.
Every time the Republicans have won, it is because they at least feigned Conservatism well enough to convince the far right. Every time they have lost ground, it is because the far right has become dissatisfied.
And when the Right ain't happy, ain't nobody happy. Read 'em and weep.
Why, regular, of course. Any true coder knows that Code Red spoils the flavor of the Cheetos (puffy, slightly stale) :D
Yes, my keys are nasty-black fading to orange. XP
Lol.
