Sen. John McCain is talking with Democrats about a joint effort to require outside groups that have spent millions of dollars on this year’s elections to disclose their donors.
McCain (R-Ariz.), once Congress’s leading champion of campaign finance reform, has kept a low profile on the issue in recent years.
He raised the ire of many Republicans a decade ago for pushing comprehensive reform, and many Republicans still held it against him during his 2008 presidential campaign.

McQuid is back again trying to eviscerate the First Amendment. Thanks a lot AZ. You blew probably our last change to be rid of this "meddlesome senator".

Can’t we lock him in an outhouse (for the duration) before he undermines our efforts to overturn Obama’s destruction?

He was loved, he turned that love into obama. What manner of debauchery for the feds is he promoting now?

You’d think the recent flap where members of the Gay Mafia launching attacks on those who donated to support Prop. 8 would be registering with him by now.

Campaign Finance Reform was nothing more than a way to thwart republicans from winning. Now that they’re original scheme has been repudiated by the Supreme Court and republicans are winning again, McCain and company are back at it again. McCain “limited” the influence of money in politics and was subsequently buried by money in 2008.
McCain’s a democrat handmaiden and wolf in the fold and we all know it.

Does he know how badly he punked by the ‘rats the last time?

I guess I don’t get it.... no tax dollars should go to a candidate for public office... If I want to sell my house or business and give the cash to a candidate, I should be free to do so...... what is the problem?
