John McCain actually said...

"business as usual is not acceptable."

"They will all play an important role in achieving the positions for which they are nominated, and as far as I can tell will certainly be confirmed by the U.S. Senate."

"The American people are fed up with a system that breeds corruption and will not continue to tolerate it."

"Transparency and knowledge of the truth are the antidotes to the corruption that is bred by earmarks and abuse of authority."
