"I do not and have not supported the subsidies"

Yahoo News

McCain spoke to about 150 people at the Fort Dodge event. McCain was questioned about his earlier opposition to ethanol subsidies. Iowa is a national leader in the production of the corn-based fuel.

"I wasn't opposed to ethanol, I was opposed to ethanol subsidies," said McCain. "I do not and have not supported the subsidies. Most of those subsidies seem to go to large agribusiness instead of the farmers."
