John Mccain "I'd rather have clean government than the 1st amendment"
RedState ^

Posted on 04/29/2006 8:04:53 PM PDT by SDGOP

"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."

It is a Rudy and Mitt deal...

A lefty or an "I can become a god" deal?!? B.S. There are far better choices that may rise to the top.

This is a joke, right? No serious politican (if that's not a contradiction in terms) could ever say this. McCain's history.

I'd rather have the First Amendment than John McCain.

John Kerry light.

At least McPain hasn't bragged about being a war hero, yet.

If he won't witch over to the dims where he obviously belongs, he should be dishonorably discharged from the Republicans.

"he shoots from the hip"

I think he shoots from the lips.

Unfortunately this will ring as truth, desirable truth, to those who think the USA needs radical fixes.

SCOTUS went for his CFR bravo sierra, how many people will think McCain is talking truth to power (whatever the heck that means).

He's not shooting from the hip he's testing the water. And Imus did not pick up on this at all, at least not in the clip.

Since Allen is a beta (he will collapse under the glare of prime time, trust me), that means Romney. But I think Rudy is the one, if he runs. This site is something other than leading indicator of anything. But I admire Romney, and he is just as smart as Rudy. Both are the smartest of the pack in either party, going away. Sorry Hillary.

"This is a really sad commentary as to how far the GOP has fallen. I don't even know these people anymore."

As one famous democrat said: "I have not left the democrat party, the democrat party has left me."

The same can be said of the repugnicant party

Whom might that be? EV is playing coy, in that regard. Are you willing to come out of the closet? Put out some names, and defend them, tout them, must about them! Otherwise, my cohort will prevail by default. I want to win in a sanguinary way, not by default. Default is for the pussy whipped.

I think Rudy is also out for being socially liberal. Romney has the best name recognition of the conservatives. But I think a Howard Dean-style grassroots campaign could life someone like Mike Pence.
