"He [Michael Graham] also mentioned my abridgement of First Amendment rights, i.e. talking about campaign finance reform....I know that money corrupts....I would rather have a clean government than one where quote First Amendment rights are being respected, that has become corrupt. If I had my choice, I'd rather have the clean government."

What about my post don't you understand?
That's like asking "What about Mr. Rather's 'Clinton is an honest man' statement don't you understand?"
Refer to post #47.
I also oppose George Allen, my friend, but surely not for the same reasons as Torie.
He's a pig in a poke.
Conservatives better dig REAL deep before they buy in to an Allen candidacy.
He's functionally pro-choice.
He believes first trimester abortions 'up to the commencement of brainwaves' are a-okay.
One prominent Republican pro-life organization has him on record as being for abortion 'up to viability', and in favor of aborting babies for 'fetal abnormality'.
He's got the Bush deceptive weasel-words on the borders down cold (You know, the ones with no credibility?)...and the top Open Borders lobbyists who work for the US Chamber of Commerce on his team.
Might be a good idea to look real close on fetal stem cells and the gay agenda, too...
If you hated the ways in which Bush was squishy, you'll be appalled at what we'd get with an Allen presidency.

... and, now, there is McCain and Trent Lott ... ever the opportunist ... jumping on the McCain Straight Talk [with forked tongue] Express. Lott should retire like he said he would. Plenty of people hated Lott already ... but they hate McCain even more. Does Lott think he has helped himself? Or, is he just blinded by his lust for rehabilitation [after the rather unjust excoriation of him after the Strom Thurmond fiasco]? Think about it ... he had to give up being majority leader. BUT ... if he should become McCain's vice president [assuming arguendo that McCain/Lott is an electable duo] ... the vice president has a nicer office than the majority leader ...The only solution is to turn 'em all out of office.
Why do the good folks in Arizona keep electing this creep.
McCain = TOAST
Oh come now vigilance, we've done this song and dance before your not convincing me and i'm not changing your mind. I think allen is a fantastic nominee and will make a fantastic president, clearly you disagree because you always jump on these threads and fire away.
I think he's put on a few pounds, lol.
One more thing: I've 'seen him in person', and I'm not in the least impressed. Quite the contrary.
I'm praying for one!
Clearly you are hellen keller.
You may think he was honorable, I don't.
If McCain had really been honorable [read: clean]] in the Keating thing, he would not have had to spend the ensuing years trying to convince the world [and himself!] how clean, honorable and ethical he is. That is the sum and substance of Campaign Finance Reform ... to try to convince the world that McCain is ethical.
John, the First Amendment is a big part of why government's not even dirtier than it is.
Now ask the POS what he thinks of the other NINE Amendments in the BOR.
So nice of McInsane to want a choice. I didn't think the Constitution was a document we could pick and choice from.
That's exactly the problem. The U.S. Constitution was written in simple English terms. Yet, politicians have their own thoughts on It's meaning.
Gee, isn't government suppose to be clean anyway.
Did you go to the website and listen?
Unbelievable!
Allen may win the nomination.
But if he does, it won't be because I didn't warn the conservatives I know about his well-masked liberal stances on the issues.
You can take this one thing to the bank: I will not vote for him in a general election.
I don't vote for pro-aborts, ever.
And I'm not the only one.
I haven't seen the video, but if it is as the quote says, then it shouldn't be too hard to spin this. If McCain did say 'quote First Amendment rights', then all he as to say is that it comes down to an interpretation of what the First Amendment protects, not a disrespect for the First Amendment. By saying 'quote First Amendment', he sort of protected himself.
Well, I can't deny that John "Keating" McCain knows what he's talking about in that regard!
