John McCain douche-baggery

[zipo]

It is an outrage that any politician would try and prevent monied special interests from using their wealth to promote their agendas of extracting more wealth from taxpayers.

Campaign finance reform is simply un-American, insofar in that its objective is to prevent the wealthiest Americans from becoming wealthier.

Shame. Shame on Senator McCain.

or that incumbants would use campaign finance law to ensure their seats are locked for the next 20 years until they wish to retire.

Interesting. You realize that taxation is an abomination, but you advocate (through sarcasm) a convoluted system of liberty-restriction instead of getting rid of taxation. Your method to right a wrong isn't to undo the wrong, but to tack another wrong onto it?

Ah, getting rid uf taxation.

Best of luck with that one.

More sarcasm, but no dispute. So you really *do* think the answer to evil is more evil?

What is the real shame is that it appears to be an unconstitutional limitation of freedom of speech, and an abridgement of the First Amendment. It is a further shame that congessmen, and some other citizens, think that other ramifications are somehow more important.


"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

it really appears to be a prime example of bi-partisanship - both parties working together to [censored] the people up the ass and silence their voices.

The only real folks who benefit are congressional incumbants.

You seem to have missed an important and elementary point:

and the announcement of the Supreme Court decision upholding the soft money ban.

The Supreme court has ruled that M-F is not unconstitutional.

Yes, because the Supreme Court never, ever gets anything wrong. And only retards would question a Supreme Court's decision's correctness.

Come on.
