Everybody’s watching you now…
Everybody waits for you now…
All eyes are going to be on John McCain…pretty much anytime he says anything. Besides scanning his words for any hidden messages aboot Sarah Palin, everyone wants to know where he’s going to stand on issues, will he stand with the D’s or the R’s, what he will fight for, etc. Essentially, what Maverick will we get?
According to the man on “Fox News Sunday,” he’s at least standing with us against the 2009 Fiscal Suicide Act. So sayeth Gov. Palin’s former running mate…
“There should be an end point to all of this spending.say two years…The plan was written by the Democratic majority in the House primarily. So yeah, I think there has to be major rewrites, if we want to stimulate the economy,” McCain said. “I am opposed to most of provisions in the bill. As it stands now. I would not support it.”
“We need serious negotiations. We’re losing sight of what the stimulus is all about and that is job creation.”
I don’t expect to agree with Sen. McCain on everything, I never did before he ran for president. I’m also not going to over react to every little thing he says that I disagree with like a lot of other conservative do on the Internet. However, I am going expect his leadership in standing against FSA09.
This isn’t a divisive issue like illegal-immigration, or abortion, or gay marriage, where different parts of the party are split, or that the issue in question isn’t that high up on our priority list. On the other hand, the stimulus plan the way it is written now is one that all of us – ALL OF US – can stand united against. There are intelligent debates to be had, amongst conservatives, aboot what to do with 40 million undocumented workers, or what the states role should be in defining marriage.
But spending over $1 TRILLON in a way that NO ONE outside of the Democrat caucus and the editorial pages of the New York Times thinks is going to have any effect in the economy other than damaging it more? There’s nothing to debate, at least not if you have an (R) or a (C) after your last name.
I just hope Sen. McCain learned his lesson that the media isn’t his friend and was never his friend, and only pretended to like him as long as he was the Republican they could count on to attack other Republican. They’re going to come after us for being divisive (especially since as you and I know we only oppose FSA09 because Rush Limbaugh told us too and not because we have convictions or beliefs or anything) and lay a guilt trip on McCain for not being – say it with me now – bi-partisan.
So to John McCain, I have only one simple message…Remember the Election.

Exactly what I was thinking when I heard what he had to say. Hopefully, he will stay on message. His vote AGAINST a known tax cheat is a good sign.
