I think he is seizing power he was one of the few GOP that spoke about the broken omnibus system in the Senate Friday evening. The same omnibus bill that give any level gov't official the right to access YOUR TAX RECORDS!!! IF YOU OWN YOUR OWN BUISNESS YOU BETTER PAY ATTENTION.

Did he talk about his unwavering support of this war?
Did he talk about his beloved resident bush lying to the American people?
Did he talk about the Pentagon's hiring of a PR firm using taxpayer money to sell this war to America?
Did he talk about women's health?
McCain is a sellout who failed to support the troops and our democracy.

| 3. It was the omnibus bill passed by the senate around midnight. |
|
it had $800+ appropriation spending in it, along with 1,600+ pages of other stuff, like the freedom to look at your tax records, permitting hospitals to refuse to do or even explain the option of abortions, and who knows what else.

| 5. Yes, and the really weird part is that he can currently use it |
|
anytime he wants, so there's no need to buy it back! I have no idea where that came from or why. I guess I could almost understand why a President Kerry might have wanted this yacht, but a "Texas good old boy"????

| 8. McCain said that the tax provision will not become law. |
|
He said that the omnious bill system is broken and this provision (inserted by two staffers late in the process) should never have happened. Then he went on to say that there was a procedure to 'fix' this problem.
umm.... we will see!!

If they don't, this won't get to the Prez.
