<<Bush's breast cancer and environment smears are unconscionable>>

What smears? How black and white does this need to be for you to understand it is McCain's record and own words that are smearing him?

Here's the link to McCain's own web site where he spells out each program he would cut.
63.224.30.9.

Pork Barrel Spending in the Fiscal Year 2000 Appropriations Bills

"For over a decade, I have been fighting to cut pork-barrel spending that wastes the taxpayers' dollars on special-interest projects? This year alone, Congress earmarked more than $13 billion for everyday, garden-variety, pork. As President, I would cut every one of the projects on the following list?

Advanced cancer detection $3.5
Prostate cancer immunotherapy $1.5
Bone marrow $34.0
Improved bone marrow transplantation $2.0
Coastal cancer control $5.0
Lung cancer program $7.0
Comprehensive breast cancer clinical care project $7.5
Peer-reviewed Breast Cancer research program $175.0
Peer-reviewed Prostate Cancer research program $75.00
New York University Program in Women's Cancer
$200,000 for Environmental risk factors/cancer (NY)
$1,000,000 for the breast cancer program at the North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System.

Those aren't all the medical programs he would cut, just proof that McCain calls cancer research garden variety pork and his promise to cut those programs. The Bush ads are not only accurate but do us all the favor of exposing McCain for the man that he is.
