It is truly ironic right now that one of the things Republicans are trying to reclaim is fiscal responsibility, because most GOP lawmakers in the Congress never really embraced it.

McCain woke up. He is a few months too late though.
Woke up? Sounds like the same McCain I’ve known for years.
Did he name names?
After your miserable performance last year, it's simply time to retire, apologize your ass off to Sarah, then go back to Arizona and stfu.
What a relief to know that Juan is ‘checking six’ for me. What a great wing man.
McCain should fade away. He has had his turn in the sandbox.

ok so who balanced the budget in the 90’s?
here’s the problem with the McCain amendment. While I don’t doubt John really does want to get rid of pork, has he always been outright vocal against it and tried to reform the Senate. He might be, I just haven’t paid that much attention to him. As far as the vote was concerned, there is no way to know if those repubs in the senate really want fiscal accountability or if they voted for it for political reason to make a statement.
This is a joke, right? I love humor.

McCain has always been against pork.
And even though I had differences with him, he’s no RINO. There’s no comparison between him and Snowe-Collins-Specter.
We had divided government during Clinton’s last 6 years.
I wasn’t talking about mccain but he did oppose much of Bush’s spending agenda (medicare part d, farm bill, etc) all by himself.
we had 100% GOP for Bush’s first 6 years
I beg to differ.
Immigration reform, Gang of 14, "Torture", Global Warming....
“we had 100% GOP for Bush’s first 6 years”
You’ve seriously never heard of Jumping Jim Jeffords?
Don’t forget McCain-Feingold
