First thing McCain must do is make a public statement rejecting Fascism and fascistic elements in legislative initiatives.
The second thing, which is pretty much in line with the first thing, is to repudiate McCain/Feingold as a failed policy, and then demand its repeal!
I just went over to Kos and looked, and yep, as I thought they are all over it.

Oh, it goes further than that. That’s the tip of the iceberg.
I hate Baraq more though,
Don’t you just love our choices this season?
First, reject Fascism and fascist principles.
Fur Shur neither the Obamasama nor the Hildabeast are truly able to do that. Their words would choke in their throats.
It will probably have "Viva La Raza" printed across the front...
We know that, some of the best, the chamber of commerce and the K street lobbyists can buy.
He needs to keep an eye on those who follow his advice. A few McCain supporters are pretty obnoxious and spend more time yelling about “radical right wingers” than they do posting any McCain positives. They hurt, rather than help him.
And GEORGE SOROS! Don't forget George Soros!
We’re in a lovely pickle, aren’t we.
NOTE--HE DOES NOT MENTION CLOSING THE BORDER
Border Security and Immigration Reform
I have always believed that our border must be secure and that the federal government has utterly failed in its responsibility to ensure that it is secure. If we have learned anything from the recent immigration debate, it is that Americans have little trust that their government will honor a pledge to do the things necessary to make the border secure.
As president, I will secure the border. I will restore the trust Americans should have in the basic competency of their government.(SO WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN SINCE 1986?) A secure border is an essential element of our national security. Tight border security includes not just the entry and exit of people, but also the effective screening of cargo at our ports and other points of entry.
But a secure border will contribute to addressing our immigration problem most effectively if we also:
Recognize the importance of building strong allies in Mexico and Latin America (Kissing up to them) who reject the siren call of authoritarians like Hugo Chavez, support freedom and democracy, and seek strong domestic economies with abundant economic opportunities for their citizens.
Recognize the importance of pro-growth policies -- keeping government spending in check, holding down taxes, and cutting unnecessary regulatory burdens -- so American businesses can hire and pay the best.(THE BEST---Do you include Illegals in that?)
Recognize the importance of a flexible labor market to keep employers in business and our economy on top. It should provide skilled Americans and immigrants with opportunity. Our education system should ensure skills for our younger workers, and our retraining and assistance programs for displaced workers (People on Unemployment and Welfare--sounds like more Socialism to me)must be modernized so they can pursue those opportunities
Recognize the importance of assimilation (We do--Why do we still have "For English-Press 1"--Don't you have any control over that?) of our immigrant population, which includes learning English, American history and civics, and respecting the values of a democratic society.
Recognize that America will always be that "shining city upon a hill," a beacon of hope and opportunity for those seeking a better life built on hard work and optimism.
Border security and our failed immigration system are more examples of an ailing Washington culture (And how long have you been a member of that Failed, ailing culture?) in need of reform to regain the trust of Americans. In too many areas -- from immigration and pork barrel spending to Social Security, health care, energy security and tax relief -- business-as-usual politics prevents addressing the important challenges facing our nation.
I wonder if the campaign has really thought this through. This has a high chance of backfiring. The campaign is essentially sending out a bunch of complete amateurs to conduct its web-based PR. What happens when some McCainiac says something way, way, way out of line, then expects the McCain campaign to come through with a T-shirt or coffee mug as a reward? By offering incentives to online posts, the McCain campaign is claiming a form of “ownership” of them. Considering some of the wacky stuff that could get posted, does McCain REALLY want to own other peoples’ heat-of-the-moment, off-the-cuff remarks?
Very dangerous territory for someone who has repeatedly said he wishes to conduct a civil, respectful campaign.
As I live and breathe. I am changing my approach. It is this, “If McCain supporters do not want Barack Obama as their POTUS, spend less time here, and make a fervent appeal to have an acceptable candidate nominated at the convention”. I am no longer going to be the person on the defensive. Don’t like that answer? Tough.
If you do not want Obama. Get a new candidate. Otherwise you will get what you hate the most.
Yep, I’ve seen them too.
“Something is very, very wrong here.”......
Sure is!...McAmnesty knows the conservative base considers him a traitor and the truth hurts so he isn’t even going to try. We are telling him...forget about it!
They are most certainly posting here. Some of the McCainiac’s posts are so scripted that the only rational explanation is that they’re paid per click.
They should be posting here but I guess they figure they have a better chance of getting votes on Dem sites.

Who says they aren’t? keyword ‘McCain’
Moderates and Progre$$ives post here all the time even if it isn’t a blog... and definitely not a GoP blog.
anyone trying to link Conservatism and the benefit of a ‘Putsch to the middle’ GoP party will get a reality check here, FRee. ;-)
You just screwed yourself out of 500 points for a John McCain baseball cap. :(
For me, he can do that AFTER he has:
1. Fired Juan Hernandez from his campaign
2. Resigned his Senate seat
