Agreed. McCain-Feingold is not something to emulate or aspire to.

That piece of legislation alone did more to swing me irrevocably to the side that says our government is operating with no limiting restraint from the Constititution.

I respect George Bush on many fronts, even though I disagree with some of his actions. But his refusal to veto that abortion of a bill called McCain-Feingold, thereby kicking it down the road and allowing eight years of damage to be done, was a reputiation to his oath of office that did more damage to him in my eyes than nearly any other.

And that was simply a preview to this.

Gents: I am reminded of what Desaix said to Napoleon at Marengo:

This battle is completely lost. However, there is time to win another

And, win we will in the courts. Even the dimmest judge has to know that this bill is the constitutional version of cyanide-laced Kool Aid.

Bush is an honorable man and of course I voted for him twice, but like you say, he was wrong on a lot of issues, wrong on spending and his refusal to use the veto to stop out of control spending, wrong on amnesty, wrong in backing Arlene Specter, wrong on and that prescription drugs bill of his(cost $400 Billion)..rolls eyes.
Nevertheless I'd take Bush over Hanoi John Kerry and Algore any day.
