Now hear this:
Thanks to John McCain, Free Republic will shut down tomorrow at high noon for 30 days. No non government approved electioneering messages may be transmitted over the internet for the 30 days immediately preceding a primary election.
That is all.
The above exercise was just a drill. But if John McCain has his way with his proposed rules for regulating political free speech on the internet, this is how we will be forced to operate in the coming election cycle and all election cycles in the future until we can get the unconstitutional McCain-Feingold act repealed.

I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!
If the thought of losing your right to express yourself online makes you mad, it is high time you let Senator John McCain know how you feel.

Yeah, Gonzaga's collapse was truly Cubs-esque. It's a shame--I was gunning for them, and they should have had this one. Alas. At least it was an exciting coda.

it's just a drill. 
So is this. McCain-Feingold is still a travesty, though.

Time to sharpen the pitchforks and light the torches!!
Once upon a time, I posted a 'tar and feather' graphic and the mod pulled it.

McCain is who we are after here...damn, can't we get through one thread without the Bush bashers having a fit that someone ELSE might be getting bashed for a change??It seems like even the Bush loyalists have lost faith in Bush, as if it is just expected that he will neglect his duties to veto bad legislation. How else do you explain why there aren't more people bashing him along with McCain?
