Dear John, Yesterday, the Senate began debate on an economic stimulus package that is intended to get our economy back on track and help Americans who are suffering through these difficult times. Unfortunately, the proposal on the table is big on the giveaways for the special interests and corporate high rollers, yet short on help for ordinary working Americans. I cannot and do not support the package on the table from the Democrats and the Obama Administration. Our country does not need just another spending bill, particularly not one that will load future generations with the burden of massive debt. We need a short term stimulus bill that will directly help people, create jobs, and provide a jolt to our economy. I believe we need to evaluate every bit of spending in this stimulus proposal with one important criteria - does it really stimulate the economy and help create jobs - if the answer is no, it does not belong in a so-called stimulus package. Furthermore, the stimulus must include significant direct relief to American workers in the form of payroll tax cuts and programs to help homeowners keep their homes. Finally, we need an end game to this stimulus so that when our economy recovers, these spending programs do not remain permanent and saddle our children with a skyrocketing national debt. I appreciate the discussions President Obama is having with my Republican colleagues, but the time for talking has come to an end and we must now begin some serious negotiation. But as of yet, Republicans have not been given the opportunity to be involved. The House of Representatives passed a stimulus bill without a single Republican supporting it. In the Senate, the Democrat leadership is trying to jam the existing proposal through regardless of reservations from a number of members. With so much at stake, the last thing we need is partisanship driving our attempts to turn the economy around. I have long been a fighter against wasteful spending in Washington and long an advocate for a balanced budget -- that will never change. I realize we face extraordinary challenges with our economy today, but that is not an excuse for more irresponsibly from Washington. I hope you will join me in saying no to this stimulus package as it currently exists by signing this petition. Sincerely, John McCain Chair, Country First PAC |

The fact that the Dems would try use our current financial crisis to ram through a massive social spending bill is appalling. Not surprising, but appalling. |

Sir Bri true But alot of Paulites stayed home. EC is how it is won. 23,000 votes in NC 25,000 in Indiana Nev a big Paulite compound Ohio has it share that never turned out Vir has a few. McCain lost close in those states and big in Cali New York and others. I agree it was not so much McCain vs Obama it was a big anti-Bush turnout. I just like pissing off the Paulites |

"I just like pissing off the Paulites"-BG whos the real american then? granted paul's ideas wont pass over a lied to and uninformed populace, but it doesnt make them inheritently wrong. you guys like to ridicule him like he's some kind of...what? idiot like yourself? iraq war-monger? america can do no wrong guy? THATS YOU. so where does the problem lie? making fun of the "paulites" only shows your contempt (or ignorance) of our constitution. the same constitution you took a vow to protect. im ashamed of you, BG. |

:wtf: if mccain had half of paul's balls he might be a man. name me one other politician in the last 20 years willing to take a real stand on any issue? nobody wants to buck party lines or subject themselves to msm scrutiny like paul did. he aint crazy. weve BEEN TOLD HE IS, and you obviously believe it, but he aint. mccain couldnt hold his jock-strap, so to speak. |
