Oh yes. She has a lot of credibility with a statement like this.
Oh, Ms. Anchoress...you mean cleaned up like...McCain-Feingold? Is THAT how the clean-up process that we all trusted so much in is supposed to work?
If those arrogant pieces of bull crap we call Senators allowed an abomination like THAT to get through, we are supposed to trust them to do this correctly?
You live on another damned planet.
Of course one could argue that Mccain Feingold was what the masses wanted out there. We got to get money out of politics bla bla bla. I heard that all the time from the oridnary folks out there. The same ordinary folks that were experts on campaign finance reform are all now experts on illegal immigration. Alot of focus groups and not enough issues.
Of course Mccain Feingold was a tad different. The politcos said "Ah the SUpreme Court will declare most of it Unconstitional" so dont worry. Well thats was a bad plan it seemed. But hey the folks wanted it and got it.
Bingo!
If Rush sounds a bit angry over this it's probably because like the rest of the true Conservatives I know, he is heartily sick and tired of having supported the Republicans for the last six years they have been in power, only to have a treasonous knife this despicable shoved between his shoulder blades.
Because this bill is despicable, and support for it borders on treason. That's the only conclusion that anyone who has read the particulars of the thing can draw.
Catholicfreeper, if you haven't already, you really need to read the speech Senator Jeff Sessions made to the Senate before the vote. In it he outlined some of the worst provisions of the bill, but not all, given it's 600+ page length, there is sure to be a number of other bombs in there.
So now it goes to the U.S. House of Representatives. Hopefully, and this is a shaky hope, they will hold the line and put a wooden stake through the heart of this thing. If they do, I will praise once again the wisdom of the founding fathers of this great Republic. But if they fail, it is certain that the United States of 2026 will bare no resemblance to the United States of today.
I can't express the level of disgust I have for the GOP Senators who voted for this thing. It's causing me to wonder if everything the Democrats have always alleged about the Republican Party being the tool of the rich, landed fat-cats isn't true after all.
I may have cast my last ballot for a Republican candidate. The Constitution Party seems to be my ethical home, and maybe it's time I made the switch official.
