“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.”
Your humble pundit respectfully disagrees with this assessment.
As I have made mention time and time again, full disclosure is the proper way to reform campaign financing. As this statements illustrates, the McCain-Feingold legislation shreds the document our founders put together at the inception of this republic.
With statements such as this, it is quite difficult to fathom how individuals within the Republican Party could embrace his prospective ‘08 presidential nomination run.
Is there any remaining doubt that McCain thinks your core rights are less important than his idea of “clean government”?
I will NEVER vote for this guy for anything … except the title “retired Arizona senator.”
