Russ Feingold and John McCain largely made their names in the Senate fighting the power of special interest money.

But now as McCain fights for re-election in Arizona and Feingold tries to return to the Senate in Wisconsin, the authors of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law are benefiting from the same sources of funding they once scorned. …

--as those of us with a brain knew, McC-F was designed to protect incumbents-

--his failure to veto it on national TV with a backdrop of the First Amendment was when I started to be disappointed with Bush 2--

If we ever need a reminder of what a fool John McCain is, this is it.

Some years back a Wisconsin car dealer who was also named Russ ran against Feingold, and his slogan was “Vote for the Right Russ”. Feingold sure is the wrong one.

This law is a disaster and an abridgment of core free political speech. And it’s McCain’s signature achievement. Another great reason FR term limits. Senator McCain, I admire and respect you for your naval service. But as a senator you are a miserable failure (then again, that pretty much describes all of them. )

It’s okay - they’ll both coast to easy wins.

Such is life in Obamaland. :)

All should be in prison for destroying our Natural Rights from God—the Constitution, Supreme Law of the Land. Anything antithetical to the Constitution is “null and void” (Justice John Marshall-—father of American jurisprudence). You should NEVER be able to twist and corrupt a “Just” law which ONLY promotes ‘public virtue” (all the virtues including TRUTH.)

Of course, we have the insane, irrational psychopaths ruling us now-—a Vice System-—even got hold of four treasonous judges who subvert the Constitution deliberately and the majority in Congress allow it (all funded and owned by the elite psychopathic sodomites/Hollywood/Rothschild/Fed Reserve/Kissinger baby-sacrificers.)
