No, MY mistake. I usually catch it, but didn’t this time.
If they hadn’t signed onto it, they wouldn’t need to sue to overturn it.
“The GOP opposes the very person they selected as their leader. No wonder the party lost the election. It has no moral compass.”
It had no moral compass once it selected that feeble, ego-driven RINO to be the nominee. With this move, it’s getting it’s moral compass BACK.
Figured this one was coming. Looks like someone at RNC HQ finally got educated. Now if we we can just get Duncan out and bring in someone whose got a pair.
Just remember this is a news article and we don’t know the details about what was mentioned.
Wow. Good news. “Slap in the face”....lol.....well, sometimes that’s what’s needed for a wakeup call.
I kind of enjoyed seeing McCain’s own rules bite him in the @$$.
Bush could have vetoed McCain-Feingold. Maybe he assumed the courts would declare it unconstitutional, but it was a stupid decision to sign it.
Um... word out to the idiots running the GOP... McCain hurt the party in the election. First, by being...well... John McCain. Second, he CHOSE to go with public finance - thus got outspent 5-1 in many areas.
While I completely agree that CFR is an absolute waste of the paper it is inked on - and is a violation of the Constitution - don’t blame it for McCain’s loss.
So, if you want to dump the law, then do it. There are plenty of reasons, and a Constitution that says it is wrong. But don’t use lame excuses. After all, CFR would not have passed without Republican votes...
Too bad they didn’t do it in 2007.
Duncan is actually going to attempt being RNC Chair again?????
No no no!
Comrade Juan McNuts passed this essential legislation with our co-commander, Feingold.
If we repudiate this foundational principle, it will mean we repudiate the leader chosen for us!
As much as I hate what America has become in the last few weeks, I am able to enjoy the irony of this, despite it being long overdue.
I thought the soft-money ban was upheld by the Supermes in "McCONNELL, UNITED STATES SENATOR, et al. v. FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION et al." in 2003.
Quite true. We have been so poorly represented by the people we have worked to elect, it’s unforgivable and unbelievable.
Too late Duncan. Not believing you!!!
Remember this guy was appointed with Martinez to do the daily work of the RNC while Martinez was in the Senate and he now wants to chair the RNC! He was for amnesty and is responsible for the state of affairs our party is now in to a great extent.
Go Michael Steele!
It bit McCain more than his opponent because his opponent declined to abide by it once he found out he could make and spend way more by eschewing public financing. I don’t think even little Barry expected the amount of donations that rolled in from here and abroad. I think he expected McCain to be rolling in corporate lobby dough and himself on a shoestring.
Throw out the whole thing.
Neither John McCain nor his anti-Constitution McCain-Feingold act ever had anything to do with a moral compass in the first place. Opposing both is awesome.
