Perhaps our Forefathers knew what they were doing when they formulated the 1st Ammendment

Congress shall make no law...

I think the barn door has opened and the barn is immolated.

Why don’t they prosecute Obambi and Company for all their corrupt and illegal contributions; etc.

The GOP opposes the very person they selected as their leader. No wonder the party lost the election. It has no moral compass.

If for no other reason than to rub McCain’s nose in it and to remind everyone about his involvement, I’m all for this, and make it as public as possible. Shout it from the mountaintops.

Much too easy — You think the newly overhauled Justice Department is up for that? Guess again.

The regulations are so darn complicated. I get a headache every time I think about them.

Well said.

McCain deserved to lose for his stupidity, but we don’t deserve to be saddled with BHO for McCains foolishness.

"Why don’t they prosecute Obambi and Company for all their corrupt and illegal contributions; etc."

There will never be investigations of this. The best we can do is continually refer to it as the "Obama Principle" and use it ourselves next time around.

One wonders how much more money would have come into the McCain campaign if he would have opted to stay out of the public money trough?

He would have gotten a lot of anti-Obama money towards the end. Would it have made a difference?

Probably not, he’s still a DL.

...Democratic Light.

There is a bitter irony in McCain-Feingold and McCain’s 2008 run for the presidency. Hoisted on his own petard.

It is rather laughable that it bit him more than his opponent.

Further proof that just because Congress passes it and the President signs it and the Supreme Court upholds most of it, that doesn’t always make it a good law.

Mr. Duncan said the timing of the suits had nothing to do with his potential re-election bid at the RNC's annual winter meeting in January.

Sorry Mr Duncan,time for new blood.

By the way,nice rug.
