You did not read the article very carefully. The targets are McClung and Kelly as this benefits them, not McCain, and they want those ads off the air, and if their allegations were true, that would require wrongdoing on the part of McClung and Kelly in the form of illegal coordination. The DCCC is not the DSCC and their motive is specifically to harm Kelly and McClung, not McCain.
just enjoying the irony that McCain would be inconvenienced by his own misguided legislation.
If the charges are bogus he's not being inconvenienced by the legislation - just by bogus charges. Bogus charges can be filed regardless of whether that legislation exists or not.
True -- the charges are bogus, but it does not eliminate McCain's role in bringing us the unconstitutional sham known as "campaign finance reform.
If you get diarrhea and have to take Immodium AD it doesn't eliminate McCain's role in passing that awful legislation either, but it wouldn't really be relevant to what is going on in that situation, either (even if you did have a similar feeling in your stomach when it passed into law).
You're right -- I did not read that part initially.
I wish no ill will on McClung and Kelly. However, I do not see that ads by John McCain are going to help their campaign. I have been particularly impressed with Kelly but if he were to hitch his wagon to the traitorous McCain, I would be very disappointed.
So, I offer a simple solution. In the interest of conservatism, I think it would be best if John McCain step down from office. /dreamin'
