Continuing to distance himself from the Bush White House, McCain also promised not to undercut legislation, as President Bush has done, with signing statements pledging to enforce only certain aspects of the bill.
"I will exercise my veto if I believe legislation passed by Congress is not in the nation's best interests, but I will not subvert the purpose of legislation I have signed by making statements that indicate I will enforce only the parts of it I like," he said. "I will respect the responsibilities the Constitution and the American people have granted Congress, and will, as I often have in the past, work with anyone of either party to get things done for our country."
I don't hate him but I'm not a big fan of McCain. However, I like his way of thinking on this.
