McCain wiped out whatever respect I had for him because he basically spit on his own service by pushing through the Campaign Finance Reform bill, and was probably instrumental in cornering Bush to sign onto it. I expect such Marxism from the likes of Feingold who is after all a Democrat, but for a man who went around touting himself the answer to Republican prayers and calling himself a conservative, that was not only him p***ing on his own medals, but slapping the rest of us grassroots Americans in the face.
I agree with the other poster : this is a suck-up opportunity. Shame on the people of Arizona voting him back in, shame on those who think he might be a good presidential candidate.
The Campaign Finance Reform is one of the most overrated “Boogy Man” laws in history. Some on our side have really abused the interpretation of this law and use it to attack President Bush for signing it and to attack John McCain for coming up with it. I doubt very much that this law has restricted free speech by any measure.
