McCain is my hero...check out this quote....ROTFL!: story.news.yahoo.com The House approved the budget, a compromise between the two Republican-run chambers, on Wednesday by a 216-213 vote. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., and other Republicans expressed hope that the chamber would approve the compromise spending plan after Congress' weeklong Memorial Day recess, which begins Friday. But it was unclear when — or if — the Senate would address the measure, or perhaps a truncated version that would help it work on later tax and spending bills. "It's premature to bring it to a vote tonight," Frist told reporters. "I don't want to shut the door by forcing people to vote when I still have other options," such as trying to persuade them to change their minds. But that could be a tall order: Four moderate GOP senators and moderate Democrat Ben Nelson of Nebraska have all resisted weeks of entreaties to support the budget, leaving GOP leaders two votes shy of passage. Asked what might make them change their minds, one of the moderates, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., joked, "Some of us could get killed in tragic accidents."
