The right to own private property is enshrined in our Constitution.

The right to free speech is also enshrined in the Constitution. Too bad you chose to ignore the Constitution when you and Russ Feingold passed the McCain-Feingold "bipartisan" campaign finance "reform" legislation.

Wtf is this...McCain talking about honoring the Constitution and property rights and bashing Kelo v. New London. Am I living in bizarro world, or does McCain just want to get re-elected?

Good point, correct position.

Doesn't really change my opinion of McCain, he's a damn liberal.

Even a broken clock is correct twice a day.

i have to say, this particular issue is a strong one with me. Everything we are in America revolves around our rights to private property. We have so many instances of that right being abused in so many twisted ways, this is one of a thousand...

McCain gets credit for this, but when your down 40 points in that 4th quarter with 10 seconds left, what does this score really matter in the larger scope of McCain? He's a loser.

Protection of those rights means that the individual reaps the rewards of his or her own hard work, not the government or those who control the government.

John McCain is right on with this one. Question is will he follow through, or is this lip service?

Sudden, temporary respect for the Constitution....from the father of McCain-Feingold. That’s about all this is.

If he loved private property so much, he would work to abolish tax on private property. Think of how people would feel...especially the rich...if they taxed personal possessions like cars, boats, planes, clothing, stocks, bonds, silver, gold etc by what it is the current market value.
