I did.
I wrote in "Alice Cooper" last November.
Only one problem, I'm anti-libertarian. I seen enough here at the FR. I would never vote for one after putting up with them here.
We have to cut him off at the Primaries.
This country club senate is a delusion.
it only keeps the useful idots of the left, Mccain, in power.
McCain must go.
McCain is the most thoroughly corrupt senator in the senate.
Does anyone here doubt that if by chance McCain actually becomes the nominee that his fate would be any better, and likely a lot worse, than Dole in 1996! What a joke.
Even if you want this rider to exist, McCain is correct that you shouldn't be trying to subvert the majority vote of the Senate by slipping riders onto other bills.
I know it is how politics is done, but we should lobby our senators to vote the right way, not hope our leaders can slip things through without scrutiny.
And even if you thought this was a good idea on the merits, McCain is certainly correct that there was no way he was going to let his signature issue get amended without a vote. The leadership should have known that.
So in a sense, I blame the senate leadership for once again looking like idiots and giving McCain power they didn't need to give him.
Sounds contradictory. You oppose McCain and the Republicans he opposes? Too nuanced for my understanding.
Nor will I! I would write in Mickey Mouse first. I still think McCain shows signs of being as paranoid as "Captain Queeg" in Caine Mutiny. He is one of the most unscrupulous men to ever serve in the Senate. I'll vote, but not for McCain or Hillary -- EVER!

John McLame: the strawberry ice cream ball bearing rattling mad man. His slogan? "No freedom of speech for you!"
Republicans are out of control. Spending is unchecked and opposition to Republican principles is widespread. The majority party does not act like it and wayward Republicans have managed to control what the party does and stands for. That seems plain and simple to me.
"Only one problem, I'm anti-libertarian. I seen enough here at the FR. I would never vote for one after putting up with them here."
Yep, having some libertarian thoughts is a good thing - after all the country was founded on freedom and it is still our defining characteristic.
But libertarianism run rampant results in absurd conclusions on everything from the economy to the environment - I could not ever vote for the Libertarian party.
I agree with you but what seemed contradictory to me is this article was explaining how the Republicans were trying to circumvent the Campaign Finance Reform debacle sponsored by McCain. The Republican leadership seemed to be trying to do what you want in this case and you blasted them along with McCain.
No big deal. Nothing to waste more time over.
