McCain is right.  But it's small change compared to how we're funding Halliburton who serves our troops dog food on paper plates and told to eat with their fingers as we let our vets stay in roach motel.

fussing over museums while the Veterans haven't even received the funds allocated in '07 fiscal year's budget.

Sounds a little like those days...all over again. Watch out folks. This generation coming up is going to rebel, too, at the mess things are in. Just move over Woodstock.

Lee , The only thing I get nauseated about is Bill and Hillary Clinton . A Million here -a Million there Oh wait it first was $5,000 for every baby born but then she had to take that back , then she decided to drop the Woodstock pie in the sky . Maybe if she thought these things out before doing or announcing them we would have more respect when and if she actually came up with a good idea but so far she is batting 100 with bad ideas . Her health plan in 1992 was taken straight from Kaiser -Permante -word for word . I am an Rn and had read both plans . So far i have not seen any real logical thinking from Hillary just pandering to whichever base that she is down in the polls with at that particular moment . Those snap polls tell her what her next hair -brained scheme of the moment should be.
Lee , Roosevelt was a Democrat that had some ideas and My Mother at that time voted for him ,Today she wouldn't be caught dead voting for a Democrat . As the old saying goes -They don't make them like that any more and a large group of older people are able to recognize the difference between a Roosevelt and A Clinton even if todays Democrats can't

Stella - thanks for the reply. I still think it's pretty silly for anyone to get upset over a million bucks - besides, that's what state-level politicians do - get money for "junk" in their state. It's constant.

You hate Hillary - I get it. But after a trillion dollars just to get the world pissed off and afraid of what President Flying Monkey might do next - it just seems like wasted breath, to me.

Stella Rose - on the other hand, there's no one else to vote for.  Surely you're not suggesting anyone should vote republican?? The nation is in a shambles every way to Sunday thanks to the GOP and you're
still supporting these idiots??   My, my, my - the South hated Roosevelt but still takes the Social Security checks that he created - or did you miss that??  Good for Roosevelt, otherwise your 94 year-old mother would still be working!  And as of now, your favored republicans would like to either exterminate Social Security and Medicare altogether, or at least privatize both to advantage of those Wall Street tycoons and big pharmacy megacorporations - good luck with the GOP....they're so very concerned with the health and welfare of their less fortunate neighbors and fellow citizens ...... NOT.      

Nobody gets the Bob Denver reference?  Come on, people!  That's good funny!

Remember the furor over the Lawrence Welk museum?  It was cited as a "prime example" of government pork and the funding was cancelled.  Fair is fair.  If no money for Lawrence Welk, no money for Woodstock, either.  What is sad is that Hillary is making such stupid mis-steps (remember "Baby Bonds?") and she of all people should know better.  Bill wasn't that stupid or arrogant.

nonothat- Who said my Mother lived in the south  you know what they say about asuming something . She has lived in Illinois all her life and has supported most Democrats until Bill and Hillary .She and I both made big mistakes when WE voted for Carter . So Do not assume I am A republican either.  I am what is called an Independent If you know the meaning of that word.Because somone now lives in an area does not mean they have been there forever ,some of us have seen more of the United Staes and lived in more than one state maybe 10-15 others over the coarse of our lives . Including Washington , California , Illinois ,Indiana ,New Jersey Mississippi, Alabama , Kentucky , Tennessee and South Carolina to name a few . I have had the privilege to vote in each of these states and to see their healthcare system and Educational system first hand . Are you as well rounded . Yes there is someone else to vote for and his name is John McCain . Hillary and Bill do not have anywhere near the honesty and integrity displayed by him even if I do not always agree with everything he says at least i know he is not taking a poll before he gives and opinion on it .

NEW INDEPENDENT- Good analysis and agree with you comepletely. Where does Democratic contenders stand on this . Wait they must have forgot to poll on the New York drivers license issue or afraid if the go with the polls they will lose support of the illegals who manage to vote especially in NEW YORk because it will be ripe for all to vote

I can't believe the references that its OK to spend on this pork barrel project called the woodstock museum for a million because money is being spent in Iraq just as wastefully.  Both our bad... and its MY money (if you don't mind the personal reference).  

I appreciate McCain specifically as a driver for Campaign Finance Reform... against the wishes of his own party... for the good of the American people...  I say FIX the process, don't fix the symptoms... and he's trying to do that...  

I'd like to ask what the other candidates Democrat OR Republican is doing...  put up or shut up I say...

Billary is wanting to spend that kind of money on a hippie museum, but she and her allies salivate at the chance to deny supplemental war funding to brave US troops who are fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq. These brave men an women didn't vote to go to war like Billary did. They just go to war and fight for their lives and the lives of their fellow soldiers. They also fight for US national security, and toppled the animals that attacked the state that Billary represents. I wish I could say that this was the worst thing she has done.

Everyone should respect John McCain for what he did for this country. He spent 6 years in a North Vietnam torture prison.
He was also nearly blown to pieces on the USS Forestall when he
jumped from his burning aircraft into flaming jet fuel burning on the deck of the ship. Instead of running for cover, he rendered aid to an injured US Sailor, and paid the price for it. Another bomb detonated, blasting LT McCain nearly twenty feet away. They wanted to send him home after that(he was injured), but he refused. This honorable decision, again, cost him dearly. It wasn’t much longer before this brave man was shot down, while supporting our brave ground troops. His extraordinary heroism and devotion to duty make him a great man, and capable leader who has exponentially greater experience and honor than Senator Billary.
