McCain is damaging the conservative movement and this renewed swell of patriotism.
He’s piggybacking on our cause and trying to be the face of conservatives.
We need a REAL conservative leader to step forward and be the DC representative of “Tea party” 2009.

I can’t stand that SOB.

Those can’t be the worst out of 8600 pork barrel projects. But the $1.7 million for pig odor research in Iowa has to be in the top ten.

Speaking of Pork,

I’d like McLame to give us an accounting of his campaign. You know, the ususal stuff. How much did he raise? How much did he spend? How much did he keep? Of course it’s all legal, I am just curious as to how much my former colleague in arms made off the deal.

I'd like to know how many of those "astro-turf(^) conservative websites and earn fabulous prizes" coffee mugs he gave away.

Keep looking John.
If you could only find 10.75 MILLION out of the TRILLIONS to shoot at, I suggest you retire.

http://twitter.com/SenJohnMcCain

#1. $1.7 million for pig odor research in Iowa
#2. $2 million “for the promotion of astronomy” in Hawaii - because nothing says new jobs for average Americans like investing in astronomy
#3. $332,000 for the design and construction of a school sidewalk in Franklin, Texas - not enough $ for schools in the stimulus?
#4. $2.1 million for the Center for Grape Genetics in New York - quick peel me a grape.
#5. $650,000 for beaver management in North Carolina and Mississippi
#6. $1 million for mormon cricket control in Utah - is that the species of cricket or a game played by the brits?
#7. $300,000 for the Montana World Trade Center - enough said
#8. $200,000 “tattoo removal violence outreach program to could help gang members or others shed visible signs of their past” REALLY?
#9. $475,000 to build a parking garage in Provo City, Utah
#10. $1.7M “for a honey bee factory” in Weslaco, TX

And just how did John McCain, famous for not even writing his own e-mails, acquire 110,000 people for his little Tweet?

Hey, I signed up. His chest pounding on each publicity-seeking announcement is always good for a laugh.

The man is getting even more pathetic, if that was possible.
