This guy McCain should pick up a copy of the Constitution AND READ IT. What a jerk.

This guy is not genuinely changing his mind.I never said he did and I didn't say I supported him in the priamry, either.
I'm just one to praise what is good and condemn that which is bad, regardless of motivation.
Funny thing about self-interest, it brings about the best results, albeit quite often unintentionally.

Oooh, I'm sorry. You are incorrect.
The answer was: Who is President George W. Bush?

Don't get too excited -- McInsane temporarily pulled his head out of his ass to get a breath of fresh air..
He will resume his normal anal fixation.

I don't think that was his motivation. McCain-Feingold was older than his presidential run. McCain doesn't like to think of himself as having flaws. Hence, his getting caught in the Keating 5 isn't a flaw on his part, it's a flaw in the system.

Nice tagline. But if Tancredo wins, the Great Wall won't be built for free and the floodlights and armed guards to patrol every inch of it will cost even more. Even if we legalize and tax pot, coke and ecstasy, it probably won't cover all the bills.

From the article:
"McCain sponsored legislation last Congress that included an even broader requirement for grassroots lobbying coalitions to reveal their financial donors."

He was for the provision before he was against it.
McCane could be President if only he'd run as a Democrat.

I understand that.
I was refuting this:
McCain wanted to stifle the Christian Right
The fact that McCain wants all of these restrictions have nothing to do with some idea that he wants to repress the Christian Right. It's psychological with him.

That's my guess. If McCain doesn't get the Repub nod for President, and if the Dems maintain their Senate majority in 2008, he'll switch parties is my best guess.
He knows he's a liberal and so do we. They'll not offer him much unless they end up with a tied Senate in 2008, but at least he'll be part of the leadership if the dems hold their majority.

Excuse me for asking this, but what about the Constitutionality of this provision? Amendment #1: Congress shall make no law restricting speech or the exercise thereof.
Doesn't leave any room for reporting requirements on your speech.
We know it's unconstitutional. Why doesn't anyone say that?

"The fact that McCain wants all of these restrictions have nothing to do with some idea that he wants to repress the Christian Right. It's psychological with him."Right. He's an equal opportunity oppressor.

McCain should be rejected by anyone who has a sense of self respect. See my tagline!

the real meat of the "reform" is the effort to silence the email and phone trees.
They want to silence outlets like FR.

Hunter's a good choice. He'll need to get into the public eye early though, because he has no name recognition. I don't believe a member of the USHR has ever been elected president of the United States....something which can work in his favor as far as getting into the spotlight.
