One of the biggest headlines of the Republican primary race so far – and the point Stephen Colbert is trying to make with his satirical campaign – is the story of SuperPACs.

.......................................................

On the campaign trail, we asked McCain about the ads from the SuperPAC that supports Romney. He told us these SuperPACs will “destroy the political process,” and predicted “scandal” because of them.

McCain gunning for the First Amendment again. The stubborn fool does not understand the reason there are SuperPacs is the limitations placed on how much money campaigns can raise directly.

How’s that campaign finance reform workin’ out for ya, Juan?

[ngat]

Not to mention the fact that now that one has trained its its guns on the candidate McCain has endorsed, he is crying foul. Is there no end to this guy’s hypocrisy?

[Utmost Certainty]

… isn’t it because of this d-bag that Super PACs have such prevalence?

[cripplecreek]

I don’t doubt that he’s correct but he isn’t exactly blameless in this.

[Georgia Girl 2]

As one of the Keating Five McStain should know all about scandal.

Yep. If we could just get rid of that pesky old first amendment political corruption would be a thing of the past!

I have nothing to contribute to this thread. I need to vent somewhere that the more I see McCain’s name in print, the angrier I get at Arizona residents. I suppose I can now expect to feel better.

Slap those Dems!

Slap those Dems!

McTraitor craps all over the constitution every chance he gets. So day politicans like him are going to be hated.
