What are you talking about McCain spending? He was endorsed by Senator Coburn from Oklahoma. McCain is not in any way a big spender. He's speaks against it all the time

Senator Coburn issued the following statement on his endorsement: "I am honored to be here in South Carolina today, and I am very proud to endorse my friend and colleague Senator John McCain for President of the United States. John McCain and I have stood side-by-side on many issues and I'd like to speak to two of them today -- fiscal responsibility and ensuring the sanctity of human life.

"Much has been made in this presidential campaign about the need for change in Washington. Candidates from both sides of the aisle have talked about bringing real reform to the federal government. But, only one candidate has a record of putting his money where his mouth is, and that's John McCain.

"Since I came to Congress in 1995, I have met one true reformer -- John McCain. He has the unique blend of character, guts, and experience needed to transform Washington from the inside out. He is beholden to no special interest. He is guided by strong conservative principles, and committed to doing what he believes is right without concern for political consequence.

"John McCain has never been afraid to take the road less traveled, and he has fought wasteful spending at every turn along the way. He's saved taxpayers untold billions, and he has rightfully earned the reputation as the Senate's number one fiscal hawk. I trust that as president, John McCain will veto any pork-barrel bill that crosses his desk, and will make the authors famous.

"When it comes to ensuring the sanctity of human life, you will find no one stronger on the issue than Senator McCain. For twenty-four years, John McCain has been an unwavering voice in Congress for the rights of the unborn.

"For those reasons and more, I urge voters here in South Carolina and across the country to join me in supporting John McCain for president."

How do you fund Iraq if its going to take more than one generation for "transition"? How do you pay for nation building by putting up bases in more countries? How do you fund wars by threatening other countries with military actions? How do you set up puppet governments by paying for rebel groups to take over the country, pay their leader, and pay for them to retain control of the country?

Its not so much against his continuing flip-flopping on many issues (so much flip-flopping I can't even tell you where he stands on the issue anymore). The fact that he wants to spend an inexorbitant amount of money on "foreign relations" by setting up military bases in foreign countries and demanding they submit to American way of life, I am oppose to it... I don't think America is in any position to tell the world how to rule and how to live...
