"He [Michael Graham] also mentioned my abridgement of First Amendment rights, i.e. talking about campaign finance reform....I know that money corrupts....I would rather have a clean government than one where quote First Amendment rights are being respected, that has become corrupt. If I had my choice, I'd rather have the clean government."

Do you remember Rudy screaming worse then Dean about Florida being able to sell guns to American Citizens?
He is a far left wing Democrat with a R by his name.
He could not even beat Hilliary in New York.
Why do you think people that still have some freedom would ever vote for this RINO?

...don't play liberal press and take out of context.Sorry, but the line quoted was in context and stands alone. Torie's following clause does not change the nature of the claim that McNut is an "honest" and "honorable" man, Any more than Dan Rather's qualifiers negate Rather's assertion that Clinton is "an honest man".

The polls are telling. Suggesting that Rudy is some Leftie, may have traction on this site, but this site is not the GOP electorite, much less the American electorate, as a proxy for anything. That is a fact. Cheers.

Rule #1. Only people eligible to vote are allowed to give money to a political candidate. Disagree - In a republic we need parties and caucuses in order to move a coherent national agenda.
Rule #2. A person can only give money to a political candidate for whom he or she is eligible to vote.
disagree - lobbying and PACS are constitutional and necessary.
Rule #3. A reasonable limit would be set on the amount of money that an individual could give.
Disagree - Money is not the problem, a lack of character is. Our country is not socialist.
The government was designed with an inheriten chaotic nature. With these fossils sitting in Washington for, in some cases, over 4 decades, the Good 'ol boy network is in full effect. Being a representative was not intended to be a full time job and people were't supposed to want to make a career out of it.
I read your article. It is well thought out, but I reject the premise. Money is not the problem, transparency, attrition, and charachter is.

I haven't seen the video, but if it is as the quote says, then it shouldn't be too hard to spin this. If McCain did say 'quote First Amendment rights', then all he as to say is that it comes down to an interpretation of what the First Amendment protects, not a disrespect for the First Amendment. By saying 'quote First Amendment', he sort of protected himself. That's sort of how I feel about "quote Campaign Finance Reform".

So you do not know Rudy is for gun control, for the murder of unborn babies, for the destruction of real marriage and for the Government controlling all property.
I do not watch the MSM who love all NE RINOS.

Your recipe, along with McCain's, leads to government that can only be afforded by the very rich, or by those who are financed by the very special interests you claim to despise. Why should the man who is supposed to be representing me in my district in Tennessee be getting his money from some interest group in California?
Rule # 3 would prevent the fallacy that you are alluding to.

The site is messed up. It requires a log in and will not let me leave.
I am going to request your post be removed.

Gad, I think "We the People" need to take the bull by the horns and form committee to seriously get out there and find a REAL conservative for a candidate - Then work like h -e- double L to get them elected At this stage of the game, it looks like most of the GOP is working overtime to make sure that it's Tancredo by a landslide.
