...we're working on a package, a group of us republican Senators...

Wtf is this?

[Watershed]

Will John McCain please GO AWAY???? PlEASE???

[peace with honor]

sounds good

[Tex Pete]

I would love for McCain to go sit down with them...on their side of the aisle...permanently.

What a douche.

[Paleo Conservative]

It’s this kind of screwing the Republican base that cost McCain any chance at the Republican nomination in 2000 when Republicans had a better shot at winning the presidential election.

[DoughtyOne]

I trust this guy about as far as I can drop kick him.

[Gaffer]

Jeez, when the Democrats were finished wiping their collective asses with him, the least they could have done is flushed.....

[MetaThought]

This is a bit of theatre.
Obama speaks the language of “bipartisanship”.
So McCain should too.

These talks will go nowhere.

The Republicans come up with an alternate wish list that will go nowhere, but it makes a point.

At least, thats how I hope things will go.

[Dionysius]

He wouldn’t do that — he’d be just another turd in a big bag.

[jerry639]

Sen. McCain can sit down with Dems if he wants to. As a matter of fact, he can sit on their side of the aisle if he wants to. He is no Conservative.

[Wolfstar]

McCain is still trying to appear relevant. He still hasn’t gotten the message that his time is past.

[CrappieLuck]

Once again the Media is deciding what the “Conservative” message will be and McCain is happy to read their cue cards.

In the mean time, the true conservatives are left without a voice.

Keyword “judasgoat” added.

[svcw]

The headline alone makes me want to vomit.

[MNDude]

don’t you know, it’s of course important the republicans get some shared credit for the wonders this stimulus bill will do.

[bigbob]

If anyone is surprised by this, you’ve been in a coma.

[Carley]

Not much attention paid to Alice Rivlin. Bubba’s CBO director.

She stated that the stimulus package ought to be broken into two parts. One for stimulus and the rest in a normal budget request. She stated that there was much in this package that would not help the economy at this time.

Perhaps some sanity can be brought to bear and the grownups get serious.

Like it or not, McCain has some credibility on budget matters. He certainly knows an earmark when he sees one and this budget is primarily earmark heaven.
