Cross your fingers and legs he does actually keeps his word and
doesn't decide to "crossover" to his pals left of center. He is
noted for crossing the isle, that is if it's not election time. Senator McCain

Sen. John McCain tells Newsmax he can’t blame Americans for being
disgusted by Congress and the president’s performance in the debt ceiling
crisis, but insists that Republicans were determined not to “betray” voters’
2010 election mandate to cut federal spending.

The GOP’s 2008 presidential candidate vows he will be fighting “on the Senate floor” against deep cuts in military spending, states that he favors eliminating all agricultural subsidies, calls pork barrel spending “corruption,” and charges that President Obama was a “bystander” in the debt ceiling debate.
The Arizona legislator also says he is “very concerned” about another four years under Obama, but is confident that Republicans will take the White House in 2012.
Now that the debt ceiling crisis has been averted and spending cuts agreed upon, further cuts will be left to 12-member Congressional joint committee.
In an exclusive interview with Newsmax.TV, Sen. McCain was asked how much faith he has in the committee’s ability to agree on spending cuts and tax increases.
Partisanship in Washington, he says, “is bred by a difference in philosophy between ourselves and the Democrats and President Obama. Fundamentally, we believe in shrinking the role of government and cutting spending, and they have the opposite view.
“I believe these 12 individuals will very likely come to some agreement. But I also believe our Republican members on this committee will state at the outset that we will not support tax increases. We think that would harm an economic recovery. But I think they will be talented enough and dedicated enough and frankly have a bit of ego — they don’t want to end up in failure.”
