The size of government has doubled since 1999...The debt has gone up ... some $5 trillion.

And whose fault is that, McBailout?

McCain said significant cuts are required - and that no area of government should be off-limits.

Then let's start with Congressional pensions, salaries, and benefits. All of them.

Otherwise you're nothing more than a stinkin' RINO traitor!

FUJM!

McCain: Everything Must Be on Chopping Block

Everything? Politicians also?

Gee. I hope this hoarse-whispering, long time political hack will run for president.

“We can be more civil, but let`s not lose our passion. Some of my favorite debates were with a guy named Ted Kennedy, who had passion like I haven`t seen before or since.” - Senator John McCain

Passion? Ted Kennedy?

Odd - I heard that Ted Kennedy left Mary Jo cold.....

As much as McLame makes me want to puke, I agree with him on this one. There are three steps that we need to take to NOW to show that we are series about restoring our fiscal health:

1. We need a 10% across the board spending cut, no excuses, no exceptions. This does not mean a 10% cut in the expected budget increase, but an actual decrease in spending from the previous budget year. And rather than fighting over which agencies, departments, and programs get cut, every agency, department, and program should share the pain equally with a 10% cut — and this includes the Department of Defense, as well as each Congressional office, judicial office, and executive office. There should not be a political debate in Congress as to what gets cut; rather the congressional directive to the head of each agency and department should be simply that “we are cutting your budget 10%. You have 120 days to make the cuts. If you can’t or are unwilling to do that, then (a) you’re fired; and (b) we will make the cuts for you, but instead of 10%, we’ll cut 15%. The choice is yours.”

2. In additon to the 10% across the board cuts, Congress needs to eliminate entire departments, agencies, and programs begining with the Department of Education, Department of Energy, agricultural subsidies, NPR/PBS subsidies, NEA subsidies, AMTRAK subsidies, etc. Again, this is in addition to the 10% across the board cuts.

3. The 50% of the taxpayers that do not pay taxes need to start paying taxes, even if the amount is only nominal. No one should get a tax credit if it results in a refund of taxes that they never paid in the first place.

I once held him in high regard. No more.

He talks out of both sides of his mouth.

McCain is no better than Obama

Dear Mr. McCain,

Please go away.

It is time you retire.

Thank you for your service.

Watch him go after the replacement tanker (KC-X) program. I cannot figure out why he has such a h$%^on for that program - KC-135s are much older than the pilots.

You really need to let go of your hatred for McCain.

He is never going to be the nominee again, and if it weren’t for him Sarah Palin would still be unknown to most americans.

I think the people of AZ should pay a disproportionate share of the debt, as they continue to plague us with their poor political choices, Udall, Babbitt, O’Connor, DeConcini, McPain, lightweight Kyl.

Ted Kennedy was one of the worst offenders of un-civil political discourse. What he did to Bork would never had been forgiven had Kennedy been a conservative and Bork been a liberal judge.
