Few Americans realize that it was George Soros who bankrolled the seven-year lobbying effort that gave us McCain-Feingold.
"Combine… the $1.7 million that Mr. Soros gave the Center for Public Integrity, the $1.3 million he gave Public Campaign, the $300,000 to Democracy 21, the $625,000 to Common Cause, and the $275,000 to Public Citizen – and you can be forgiven for believing Mr. Soros got campaign finance passed all by himself," notes a Wall Street Journal editorial.
McCain-Feingold neatly accomplishes Soros’ goal of regulating political discourse on the airwaves. It bars "special interest groups" from placing ads for or against any candidate for federal office on TV or radio 60 days before a general election, and 30 days before a primary. These "special interest groups" can be anything from corporations to grassroots networks of concerned citizens.

Yet there are still those who swoon over McManiac.
Your #11: It's past time to deal with McCainiac. This guy is really dangerous. He'd prostitute his mother for a little more power.
