"No the funny thing is we subsidize BOTH"

And your buddy Obama
the "agent of change"
voted for the Farm Bill
And McCain did not.

Do you have a link for that CU4?  Because according to this,  (http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=110&session=2&vote=00130)neither McCain, Clinton, or Obama voted on the final bill, though Clinton and Obama voted once each on one of the two amendments, McCain didn't vote at all.

Not that it changes my point
But you are correct Fatman
I should have said "supported" instead of "voted"
so it really should read this way

And your buddy Obama
the "agent of change"
supported the Farm Bill
And McCain did not

For what it's worth, this thing should have been torpedoed for the amount of pork that it has.  But that's politics as usual I guess, it's worth noting if you follow the link that even "conservatives" Craig and Crapo of Idaho voted in favor.  At least Coburn didn't.
