McCain: GOP to blame for losing election

CONWAY, S.C. - Republicans spent their way into losing control of Congress, presidential candidate John McCain (news, bio, voting record) says.

"The reason why we lost that election, my dear friends, was because we let spending get out of control," McCain told a breakfast crowd Saturday. "We came to power in 1994 to change government and government changed us."

McCain told the 225 people gathered at a restaurant on a bend in the Waccamaw River, not far from Myrtle Beach, that Republicans began to value power over principle, which caused spending to lurch completely out of control.

"It's got to stop," he said of the excesses, which also led to corruption among members of Congress. "We're going to have to clean up our act."

1. He's one to talk

With his poll numbers sinking after sucking up to the Right, looks like John's back on the Straight Talk Express. As if nobody will notice.

4. No shit. I kept saying to myself "Is this guy just as out-of-it as Ronnie was,

or has this always been his misguided idea of what the fuck happened. From the early days of Charles Keating to this very day, McCain has always seemed to think that everyone's attitudes, motivations, hopes, dreams, and expectations have been all wrapped up in the almighty dollar.

He is willing to cuddle up to the very people who savaged his family during the 2000 election. He is a man without any ethics or dignity.
