i’m glad it is.
Not one single dollar allowed from Corporations, Unions, PACs or any other fictitious entity. Allow any amount from individual citizens, only by personal check, and fully disclosed from the first dollar. Independent accountants and auditors required for all campaign receipts and disbursements with weekly reports posted for all to see. Any ‘volunteer hours’ be just that, purely volunteer. No 3rd party reimbursements for time spent working on a campaign.
Violations would require treble the amount in question be paid to the opponents campaign plus jail time and loss of voting rights for individuals involved.
It’s a trap, re-election BS. McCain would be the first to “reach across the aisle” to the Obamulans to resurrect McCain/Feingold Lite.
SCOTUS says it's unconstitutional.
America - 1
"Honorable" John McCain - 0
The guy is 74 and is still angling for another 6 years.
I can’t imagine why he prefers the company of the rest of the DC coots instead of that charming Meghan and NOH8 Cindy ...
The Senate has become like an extended care facility .
JD and Brown must be the beginning of a new wave of Republican vigor.
No thank you ol’ Yellowstain, I might add.
Are we sure this isn’t satire? ;-P
All McCain cared about was using the hideous CFR as a springboard to the presidency. He obviously failed.
The funny thing is, it took him making a fool of himself and getting taken down my his own law, before he understood the damage he had done.
Do you agree with our Constitution, or not? What you're proposing is again, a violation of the First Amendment.
To wit:
"Congress shall make no law.....abridging the freedom of speech..."
You have to do something about those evil speculators - the bondholders and preferred stockholders. They are the focus of evil in the modern world.
RETIRE, McTRAITOR, RETIRE! Anyone who DEFENDS this lout is a SOCIALIST!
Has McCain ever been right about anything?
Please please please, good people of Arizona.
Send this old RINO fool off to a retirement home where he belongs.
Heyworth, please.
No, I did not drink any coffee today :D
Next: McCain's career in politics.
Every citizen has the right to free speech. Fictitious entities, be it a corporation, union or political action committee or whatever do not have that same right to speak for an individual. Those entities are free to speak to their individual members and urge them to give money to politicians, but they do not have a right force their members to donate to a politicians (i.e. put words in their mouth.) That decision should be left to the individual.
If you had a job that required you to pay union dues, do you like the idea of that union giving your money to politicians you do not approve of? Same goes for stockholders in corporations. And PACs are simply a way to launder money extorted from individuals through the corrupt K-Street lobby industry.
None of those have anything to do with free speech. They are just about buying political influence.
Politicians aren't elected to represent unions, corporations or political causes. They are to represent the people. Allowing those fictitious entities to bundle money, our money, and use it to buy a louder voice with politicians.
Its kind of funny looking back..during the election a lot of the comments on this thread would have gotten one banned for insulting the Mighty Morphin McCain..and yet now, nothing but loathing for him. How times change..
Never should have been alive in the first place, you traitorous bastage! (McCain).
umm I never really defended mccain I remember searching the internet to see each candidate’s positions and issues,and to be honest I saw that both were the same. So after that discovery mccain wasnt a candidate worth defending.
