King RINO strikes again.
Via The Hill:
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Tuesday that it “lacks some intellectual integrity” to vote against the bipartisan budget deal without having an alternative to avert another government shutdown.
“I’d like to know what we do in order to avoid another shutdown of the government. The American people steadfastly reject another shutdown of the government,” McCain said on the Senate floor. “To somehow vote against it without an alternative to keep the government from shutting down, I think lacks some intellectual integrity.”
McCain’s comments came after just 12 Republicans voted with Democrats to end debate on the budget deal negotiated by Senate Budget Committee Chairwoman Patty Murray and her House counterpart Paul Ryan (R-Wis.).
The bill sets top-line spending levels for 2014 and 2015 and reduces the sequester spending cuts by $63 billion over the next two years. Some Republicans have complained that the plan doesn’t reduce the deficit enough and replaces parts of sequestration with airline fee and pension premium increases.
