Sen. John McCain (R., Ariz) is still fuming over the omnibus spending package, saying it represents everything that Americans voted against on November 2. ”It’s the most outrageous repudiation of the voter I’ve ever seen,” he says.
McCain tells reporters he didn’t know whether Republicans would have enough votes to block the bill, criticizing “Republican appropriators” for their contributions to the pork-laden package. “I can tell you it’s going to be a hell of a fight,” he says.
Sen. Jeff Session (R., Ala.) concurs. “There’s too much stuff in it…When does it stop?” he asks. “We do not have the money.” He said that even if some Republicans decide to support the omnibus, Democratic opposition could be strong enough to kill the bill. “I’m not sure every Democrat is going to vote for more spending,” he says.
