McCain on the Constitution
There's been quite a bit of debate over at RedState regarding Senator John McCain's comments last week. On Friday, while a guest on John Imus' radio show, McCain said:
Yeah, constitution be damned. In McCain's world, the government gets to decide what speech is and is not acceptable during political debate."He [Michael Graham] also mentioned my abridgement of First Amendment rights, i.e. talking about campaign finance reform....I know that money corrupts....I would rather have a clean government than one where quote First Amendment rights are being respected, that has become corrupt. If I had my choice, I'd rather have the clean government."
That should scare liberals and conservatives alike.
Moreover, his sanctimonious take is just as hypocritical as his 'campaign finance reform' partner Senator Russ Feingold.
Consider the 'corrupt' funds here.

Think a Feingold/McCain presidential ticket would take off?
I am sure both men have considered it.
Finally, something about which I agree with you, Fraley. Its always nice when a right-winger rediscovers civil rights.
