WASHINGTON (CNN) — Former Republican presidential candidate John McCain is unveiling his own Republican budget alternative, which he says brings the debt and deficit lower than Democrats' proposals.

Unlike Republicans in the House, Senate GOP leaders opted out of crafting an alternative budget, and instead plan to offer their ideas with amendments to the Democrats budget.

But McCain clearly disagrees with that approach.

McCain and the GOP are useless.

Actually from what I read his budget would bring the deficit down to about $450 billion as apposed to $1.1 Trillion under Obama’s budget.

That's not slightly less, that's $650 billion a year less.

Probably in opposition to Paul Ryan's and Congressional Republicans' proposal as well.

It’s over Gramps! You no longer matter (thank God!).

For the love of Allah McCain shut the f’ up. Dude - you had your shot, and it’s shot. Call Bob Dole and see if he wants to go fishing.

Why would anyone expect something intelligent and responsible from McCain. He is no different than a Democrat.

There were only three reasons to vote for McCain, the first was the obvious alternative which is the Usurper-in-Chief that we now see dismantling what’s left of our Republic, the second reason was Governor Sarah Palin who was certainly more conservative than McInsane, and the third reason was Cindy McCain who would certainly have been the hottest First Lady in American history, IMHO.
