McCain: Special interests fatten war bill - GoFuckYourself.com

"WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A $500,000 plan to save fish in Lake Champlain on the New York-Vermont border is included in a nearly $80 million emergency spending bill to fund the U.S.-led war in Iraq.

It's just one of several projects in the bill with no direct ties to the fighting, according to Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona.

McCain has compiled a list of more than two dozen provisions he calls objectionable because they were not requested by the Bush administration nor authorized by a congressional committee.

One of them is funding for a program to control an alien species called the sea lamprey, an eel-like parasite that is threatening to kill Lake Champlain's native trout and salmon.

"This funding was not requested by the administration, nor do sea lamprey[s] pose a clear and present danger to our national security," McCain said."

Ever caught a fish with a lamprey on it? Its a fucking sick site and makes you want to go home and never fish again.

why don't we just dump Chinese Snakeheads into Lake Champlain? They'll eat up all the lampreys (and everything else they can swallow, too)

In recent times lampreys have become scarce and are now protected by wildlife legislation.

It's too bad McCain didn't get the republican nomination...

seems as if both parties like to only nominate the farthest to the left or right of their parties leaving the middle of the road vacant in regards to options...
