I don't say this often but... Good for McCain.

[dirtboy]

He was for the provision before he was against it.

[TommyDale]

This is too funny! McCain wanted to stifle the Christian Right, but now that James Dobson is opposing him, McCain is changing his mind. What a spineless, two-faced typical politician. McCain should be rejected by anyone who has a sense of self respect.

Can you say 2008??

[svcw]

I'll believe it when it happens.

McCain/Kerry F the POWS/MIAS
McCain/Feingold F Free Speech
McCain/Kennedy F American Sovereignty
McCain/Keating Money theft

Enough said.

I'll never vote for him. The man is an opportunist as well as a rank demagogue. He's changing his anti-free speech stand only because the presidential season is near. John McCain cannot be trusted to preserve the liberties of the American people.

[Brilliant]

I don't trust him.

[msnimje]

Now that it is McCain's message that needs to get out McCain is all of a sudden a supporter of Freedom of Speech?

Pathetic.

[One_who_hopes_to_know]

Hmmm ... seems to be a politician without principles ... who'da thunk?

[Bahbah]

I'm glad he will oppose this, but it doesn't change my mind about him. He wants the provision, but doesn't find it politically expedient at this time.

He is also still in favor of yet another bureacracy with this ridiculous and pointless Office of Public Integrity (LOL, things are almost always the opposite of what they are named), increased cost to the taxpayer with no benefit at all.

"McCain is considered one of the most authoritative authoritarian voices on ethics- and lobbying-related issues in the Senate."

[webstersII]

Court the conservatives to win the election, then vote against them constantly while in office.

Hmmm. . . what current president does this sound like?

[Uncle Miltie]

McCain / Feingold - 2008 ... "Shut Up or Go To Prison"

[kcvl]

McCain is considered one of the most authoritative voices on ethics and lobbying related issues in the Senate.

Says who?!

I guess they forgot Keating 5. I wonder how they THINK McCain gets his campaign cash?!

[TomGuy]

McCain sees his poll numbers slipping and is trying to head off disaster by placating the base......now that he needs them.

[cake_crumb]

McCain voted FOR the provision before he voted against it....good move, Kerry Lite.

McCain: "Clean Government" More Important Than 1st Amendment

"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."

According to him we have "quote" rights. The nut bag is UNFIT to be a senator dog catcher, let alone POTUS.

I'm still waiting for the cable TV rate control he was getting for us...
