McCain joins Dems to regulate Drudge, Google, Facebook political ads

That's strange, Songbird himself carried my political advertising in America.

As it is we are unable to enforce most of the laws on the books. So by enacting more laws we create such maze of laws that they can only be selectively enforced. Thus we can’t have equal justice for all.

FU McCain.

You can start with an “honest politicians law” where politicians can be sued for running fake ads - like you did. Or where politicians refuse to uphold their political promises as publically advertised - like you did. Or where politicians take funding from political opposition forces - like you did.

You are a disgrace to the senate and all legitimate and honest representatives and if this monstrosity of a bill attacking the ifrst amendment passes - I hope Trump tweets a thumbs down and vetoes your ass.

“By the bill sponsors’ own accounts, less than 1/100 of 1 percent of the online political spending last year was by Russians, but the bill would impose new regulatory burdens on the other 99.99 percent of American speakers. “

If it passes — VETO!

It may be McCain trying to get out in front of any possible way somebody just may be in a position to destroy his reputation.

You know, destroying the First Amendment - no big fricking deal - eh?

I have one question, since when did Drudge ever sell political ads?

McCain has taken off the R jersey.

Maybe Graham will be the next out of the closet.

“That would require another bureaucracy to monitor dozens of websites and millions of posts daily. That would require additional bureaucracy to review and punish.”

Wouldn’t be too difficult if the plan is selective enforcement. Not that fedgov would ever be that dishonest...

McCain is a Democrat. He is one of your more despicable amoral ones though - a true RINO.

What happened to free speech?

This isn't the first time Juan McStain went after freedom of political speech.

“reports Russians spent thousands on Facebook to influence voters in the 2016 election”

LOL. Looks like maybe these dumb bastards should try to figure out how thousands of dollars trumped (pardon the pun ) the hundreds of millions Hillary spent.

Liberals want to punish non-existent Russian election meddling.

In other words, take away Americans’ free speech rights in the name of fixing a marginal problem involving foreigners.

The bill is unconstitutional and the sponsors know it but they don’t care.

How many thousands did the IRS add to their staffing just to regulate the Obamacare requirement?
