You think Fred Thompson disrespects the 1st amendment because he has a friendship with McCain?

Read post #835

Fred Thompson joined forces with McCain and Feingold in their first attempt to skirt our First Amendment rights with "campaign finance reform."

At the time, it was known as McCain-Feingold-Thompson.

And the bill was even worse back then. Can you imagine anyone actually advocated spending limits on campaigns?? Well, Fred Thompson did.

Go to the ACU site .. I think you may be creating a flimsy argument .. and you just may be totally hung up on that one issue. I don't like McCain-Feingold, but before it was voted in .. there was no huge hue and cry against it. It was AFTERward, when it was realized how it really all played out after the lawyers dissected it ad nauseaum for loopholes that the reality of the consequences was revealed.

I won't be swayed by your argument .. maybe others will.

Whom are you supporting?
