"Oddly, not one major newspaper addressed the issue until today, when the Washington Examiner takes the Senator to task for his minimization of free political speech:"
--- Its part of the MSM's plan to get McCain the nomination then destroy him in order to help the Dems reclaim the White House & Congress.

Well, at least suppressing free speech cleaned up our government! No crime or bribery anymore, huh?

What a totally ignorant statement to make. If you do away with the first amendment: Clean government will be the first thing to follow it out the door. We get clean government by using the First Amendment and he knows it.Perhaps thats why he is so anxious to do away with it, and his Campaign Finance reform is a step to take away First Amendment rights. This is a dangerously insane man.
Our government including the part he is a member of isnt perfect, it cant be with him as a member of it, but its a hell of a lot better with the First Amendment.

I wonder if McCain thought the North Vietnamese were a "clean government". They certainly weren't advocates of the First Amendment.

Yesterday I got my husband and I both received invitations in the mail from Dennis Hastert (I'm sure many of you did as well -- ) to the "Annual Board Meeting or the House Majority Trust? and the 2006 President's Dinner."
Guess who the "special invited guest" will be at the lunch on Tuesday? None other than Senator McCain.

I said it before and I'll say it again ... its too bad McLame's parachute worked when he was shot down in Vietnam.
With his statement that he would "trade" the First Amendment for ANYTHING (as if it was his to own), I hope he suffers excruciating migraines for the remainder of his miserable life.

McCain has been the White House pack mule for getting nearly every bad idea conceived there turned into law. The sooner people realize this the better. Not one bill this man has written has yet seen a VETO. It's quite obvious as to why.

After John McCain made a statement last week on the Don Imus Show that he would trade the First Amendment for "clean government"Since when are the two mutually exclusive?

'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, Id rather have the clean government.' ...And McCain is once again wrong........
Money in and of itself doesn't corrupt....It's the LOVE of money.
McCain is a dangerous loon.

There's a typo in the original:

> like Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., ...
That's Sen. John McCain (D,AZ) on FR.

It worked for the Soviet Union.
For almost 70 years they had 95%+ voter turnout because they had good clean government which everyone liked ehough to keep re-electing.
They had no natural disasters, Aeroflot never crashed any planes, all their nuclear plants were safe and effective sans containment modules, and every soviet got what they needed and needed what they got. And they had free universal health care (Just ask Hillary).
Get rid of free-speech and the same thing will happen here, and the politicians will tell us all about in the state run media.
