"I can't leave out my Arizona projects that have been awarded. $500,000 to Arizona State University to study the genetic makeup of ants...and then, incredibly, $450,000 to the University of Arizona to study division of labor in ant colonies...I had no idea that so much expertise concerning ants resided in the major universities in my state and I must say I say that with an element of pride, but I'm not sure that it is deserving of these taxpayers dollars."

"You have an empty mall in Oak Ridge, Tennessee that gets $5 million. It's still an empty mall. It's a privately owned mall and yet we take $5 million to do geothermal heat on something that is not going to be used in the future, at least has very little likelihood of being utilized in the future to its fullest extent."

Soundbite 4: Sen. John McCain (R-AZ): Stimulus Money To Economically Deprived Martha's Vineyard

"The very economically deprived area of Martha's Vineyard, $787,000 for a test program there that would allow parties to control a homeowners energy use from outside the home. $2 million to help build a replica railroad as a tourist attraction in Nevada. In recent years the residents there in Carson City rejected a proposed sales tax to help fund the tourist attraction so now everybody's taxpayers are footing the bill."
