When extolling the virtues of limited government, I wouldn't point to the co-author of McCain-Feingold as an example of someone who leads the charge.
I will concede to you on that item, certainly. I personally am on the fence relative to the issue of CFR. On one hand, it seems to me that the voters are better off not being inundated with the vitriol of which organization has the most money to spend on T.V. but rather be subject to various angles from various sides, all of whom have equal footing at election time. Of course there is the position you appear to support which is anyone and everyone should be able to spend their money as they see fit relative to campaigns and those they support---hence the First A. I, again, am on the fence with this issue. With that said though and aside from this particular issue, can you not support a McCain candidacy? Anti-tax, pro-life, pro-war, pro-business, war hero, not to mention he IS the most popular politican in America based on all polls and seeing as the Republican Party is going to be in DEEP mud come '08 if Iraq and gas prices continue the way they are (and there's no foretelling they won't), if the Republican Party wants to keep control of the WH, they'll need to send in someone ALL Americans can embrace...Who else do we have? Frist? Outside of Mercy Hospital in Nashville no one knows him...Allen? His dead dad is still more popular in Virginia than he is...Santorum? Makes Reagan look like a Commie...Condi? Country isn't ready yet. Rudy? Yesterdays news (plus, if the conservative wing of the party won't embrace McCain, they certainly won't take to Rudy---pro-choice guy)...Mitt? Carpetbagger---Utah to MA??? Jeb? Says he doesn't want it and even if he did, country wouldn't buy it this early. McCain is our party's only hope of hanging on and the conservative wing better hitch a ride on that ship or we're gonna be using the phrase "President Clinton" AGAIN!
