However, instead of calling for an overhaul of the much hated law, McCain is calling for VIP treatment for the remixes made by political campaigns....

I seem to remember a political revolutionary who took over the House based on a list of reforms he planned to implement. Number one on the list of Gingrich's Contract With America was: "require all laws that apply to the rest of the country also apply equally to the Congress".

How far the Republican's have strayed from what won them the Congress.

Indeed. I wonder how the system would be different if our politicians were “forced” to deal with laws and life like every other member of ‘We the people’.

And why isn’t it that they ever get prosecuted. criminally?

Indeed. The current gang operating under the name "Republican Party" is an undead husk, or perhaps a half-formed pod person morphing itself into a duplicate of the Democrats.
