It would be interesting to know McCain’s inner thoughts on the fairness doctrine. We have seen his proclivity to move in directions to limit voice in the arena of elections.

Sorry, that article is cr@p. Here’s just one example:

“1. Is your extreme negative position on McCain based predominantly on worries about your ability to continue to make a (very) comfortable living in a McCain administration?”

Apparently this author thinks gutting the First Amendment further would be no big deal, so he re-casts concern for that issue as simple - gasp - desire to make a profit. You know, CAPITALISM. How EEVVIIILLLLLL! /sarc

Typical left-wing dripe...

Yeah, those damn "media conservatives" just don't get it.

We Conservatives must always try to please our critics, and John McCain is that man

What's all the fuss just because McCain "rarely" works with our critics. I mean, are we not a little selfish to demand things be done right and invoke leadership and principle, right from wrong when exercising legislative power.

Let's not ignore, but celebrate those wonderful compromises that McCain "rarely" executed.

McCain/Feingold
McCain/Kennedy
Opposition to tax cuts
Giving Constitutional rights to terror detainees
Opposing interrogation techniques of terror detainees
Leading "Gang of 7" morons on caving into democRAT judicial demands
Accepts extremist environmental positions
constantly burns bridges with Conservatives, builds bridges with democRATS
...etc

You don’t need a theory, Mark listed his objections in the article. If you have an argument against it, why not post it, instead of changing the subject?
