no one can claim they oppose wasteful spending who has voted to start, continue and fund the Iraq war.

I'll bet that 30 billion defense boondoggle was not the missile defense system (star wars).

Wasteful spending? How about those couple trillion in Iraq?

Aside from his far right lurches in recent years, there are two big reasons John McCain can never really come back in New Hampshire: Barack Obama and Ron Paul.

Absolutely NOTHING is more wasteful than the botomless pit of money, corruption and American blood and lives lost in Iraq. At least the "pork" that gasbag mccain talks about stays in the U.S.!! I would like to know where this "pork" money he wants to stop is going for! NOT for AMERICAN citizens!

Two men at least.

Ron Paul has never voted for an unbalanced budget in his 10 terms in Congress. He runs his campaign with the same principled fiscal conservatism that he would bring to his administration ($5.1 million raised in the 3rd quarter, $5.3 million cash on hand at the end of the 3rd quarter) unlike McCain, whose financial woes are a direct result of his wasteful spending. Why should we believe McCain will do any differently with the government's money?

McCain who?

Yes, McCain! Have you served? McCain, the one that has not taken his eye off of the ball in 40 years. He has supported the principles of the party and served America...the America, with honor and integrity. His values are the values of this country. The departure from those values on the part of our leaders and citizenry are a departure from what We have stood for for 200 years. Look at what we were and where we are and where you want us to be and then decide. Look inward and back over through your life...have you served?

I don't know why I didn't immediately assume McCain was lying when he claimed to have stopped a $30B defense boondoggle. I was still thinking of him as a hero instead of a Republican. Anyway I decided to check the Armed Forces Journal article the ad referenced and found that what he did was to kill an airborne tanker from Boeing in order to substitute one from Northrup Grumman so that the work and jobs will be done in a red state instead of a blue state. No actual money gets saved; the pork goes to a different barrel. Some hero.
