McCain: I Don't See Any Republican Senate Votes for the "Stimulus"

But he is willing to work to make the bill better, which is hardly a bad thing in and of itself, but the worry is that if the Shit Sandwich becomes marginally better, McCain and the other members of he bipartisan caucus will come down with a bad case of Pride of Authorship and vote for it.

McCain's saying the right thing, and he's even doing the right thing. So why do I have the shivering douchechills about him? Ah yes: the past ten years of his history.

No the shit sandwich started with spicy brown mustard, which is hard to see amongst all the shit. He wants it changed to yellow mustard so it's easier to see.

Wait, that is actually a pretty fair distance. Bad analogy.

Alright. I'll try to write the rest of the comment without the normal sarcasm, derision, revulsion, and contempt that name invariably gives rise to.

16 Errr... how do you make the biggest barrel of pork to every roll down Capital Hill "better"?

The only way to make this bill "better" is to drown it in a well after beating it senseless with Pelosi's severed head.

McCain, here's a clue: start from scratch with a real bill that actually does something other than fund Democratic campaign coffers. What happened to "I will veto everything that comes across my desk that has an ounce of pork in it"? Sure, you ain't got a veto pen, but I hear that a standard ballpoint does just fine for authoring new legislation.

Let's face it, we're a tersely worded NY Times editorial away from McBitchAss having a revolation and deciding that not only is he voting for the Crap Sandwich but that anyone who doesn't vote for the Crap Sandwich is doing so for purely partisan reasons, wants the American people to suffer and hates this country.

There should be a law that if you run for President and lose that you can never again serve in any elected office in America. With a law like that we could kill two douchebags with one stone.

stimulus?

if we're trying to increase employment, wouldn't something tailored to that make hela more sense?

businesses get a $15k tax deduction for each american they employee during the full year

straight and to the point

Sometime�s I swear that McCain came out of that hell hole of a jail during the war as the Manchurian candidate and the Democrats some how managed to get his trigger password from the VC.

Maybe, just maybe being the full minority will bring out the old pissed off crazy uncle deep down inside him and make him screw over the dems for a change.

Dear John,

The election is over. You lost. Even with my vote, which was basically a vote for your VP pick, you lost. Your failure to uphold your little end of our bargain (my vote in exchange for you becoming president) renders any previous interest I used to have in anything you have to say null and void.

I do not care about what you think about anything. I especially do not care about anything you think regarding the economy. Kindly direct any further opinions to the brick wall to your left, and keep my mainstream media outlets free and open. In the event that Obama changes the "morning workout playlist" on his Shuffle, they will need to tell me about it immediately. Thank you.

Warmest regards,

Part of the 48% that held his nose and voted mostly for your Veep

33 How do you improve a bill that takes $1.2 trillion out of the economy and redistributes it acc. to the whim of gov't?

We already subsidize Congress' existence to the tune of $2.7 trillion a year. They've never turned a profit, even without paying taxes. They can't turn a profit. And they're supposed to become THE biggest player in US business? No, thanks. No improvements, please.

If you want to improve the bill, John, add a rider that appoints a Republican to your spot should the bill pass.

Posted by: t-bird at January 30, 2009 04:27 PM (FcR7P)

Are any (R)'s talking about at least trying to fillibuster this thing in the Senate. Surely there are at least a few (D)'s with half a brain that will side with them.

36 McCain and the other members of he bipartisan caucus will come down with a bad case of Pride of Authorship and vote for it.

Exactly. Any change at all that the GOP proposed, or similar in any way to what they proposed and the pathetic wretches in the Republican party will sign on. If they could make it an 0-fer and have all Republicans whatsoever (and a few Democrats) vote against the bill in both houses, you'd have not just the bipartisanship Rush talks about - a bipartisan rejection - but a clear message to the voters.

Posted by: Christopher Taylor at January 30, 2009 05:13 PM (PQY7w)

Dear John,

I agree, but remember that McCain losing also freed him up from having to pretend to be a loyal conservative republican - now he can be the elite-loved Maverick that he's wanted to be for so long. There's really no downside for him since he has a safe seat with seniority and doesn't need the support of Republicans at large.

So expect McCain to screw us unless the Democrats somehow offend his eccentric personal sensibilities.

Posted by: M�tenloch at January 30, 2009 05:46 PM (BZALp)

38 So, is this bill fillibusterable? (I assume yes, but I know some budget bills can't be fillibustered.) If so, why aren't the Repubicans in the Senate promising to fillibuster it?

Posted by: Greg Q at January 30, 2009 06:07 PM (87k2j)

I think we're a tersely-worded NYT editorial from McCain just flat-out changing parties. What would be the down side for him? "Honour"?

Up until today, I didn't think you could spend a trillion dollars without using the military. I just honestly did not think it could be done.

41 Dear John. Hey, Arse-wipe;
Good to hear from you I remember three months ago when you lost the election. You remember that right? If not ask you wife, she seemed motivated to see your withered arse win it, so she'll be able to tell you what you were doing if you can't recall clearly.
As for now, my friend, it's long passed time for you to sit down and doze off in your warm, comfortable seat in the Senate. Take your nod from Kleagle Byrd, Tio Teddy Kennedy and In No Way Danny Ionue (D)ecrepits,all. When their noggins start to bob and nod, feel free to join in and doze off like you're getting paid for it:
You are.

Seriously. Just take a long nap and have your aide vote no to everything for the next 2 long years. Then you can wake, wipe the drool off your chin and go home to Arizona and eat soft foods and take a nice shit a couple of times a day.

Again, look to your fellow Senators as referenced above on the "good shit"
foods for the elderly liberal person, versus the "bad shit" foods for the doddering, like the "bad shit campaign" you ran last year. Try to avoid a repeat.

Above all, until you can bow out with a modicum of grace in '10, please nod off, snooze, fall asleep at the switch. It's okay: it's the right thing to do. Have some self- respect, shut the hell up, sit down and nod off.

That way you can't do much more damage than you've already done,huh?

Thanks, My Friend.

Why do we change what we want based on who is in power? Fighting for what is possible now is compromise. We should fight for what we want and be bold about it.
