GOP candidates say they'll be tightwads - Yahoo! News: "By LIZ SIDOTI, Associated Press Writer Tue Apr 17, 3:11 AM ET WASHINGTON - Presidential hopefuls Rudy Giuliani, John McCain (voting record) and Mitt Romney want you to know they'll be cheapskates with taxpayer money — and they'll be proud of it. 'This country needs a president who can exercise fiscal discipline!' cries Giuliani, the former New York City mayor. Romney, the ex-governor of Massachusetts, asserts: 'It makes no sense for us to keep on spending more money than we take in.' And, McCain, the Arizona senator, adds: 'We need to get it under control.' With such crowd-pleasing lines, the leading Republican presidential candidates are making limited spending a key part of their campaigns as they court voters frustrated with soaring deficits and lawmakers' pet projects."
