McCain is best known for his support for the Iraq war, the McCain/Kennedy Immigration bill and the McCain/Feingold and Campaign Finance reform law. The first two have clearly been an albatross and now the Supreme Court has slapped him on Campaign finance reform.
The Supreme Court loosened restrictions Monday on corporate- and union-funded television ads that air close to elections, weakening a key provision of a landmark campaign finance law.
The court, split 5-4, upheld an appeals court ruling that an anti-abortion group should have been allowed to air ads during the final two months before the 2004 elections. The law unreasonably limits speech and violates the group's First Amendment rights, the court said.
The decision could lead to a bigger role for corporations, unions and other interest groups in the 2008 presidential and congressional elections.
The case involved advertisements that Wisconsin Right to Life was prevented from broadcasting. The ads asked voters to contact the state's two senators, Democrats Russ Feingold and Herb Kohl, and urge them not to filibuster President Bush's judicial nominees.
Put a fork in pander bear McCain. He's done. His campaign should put out a DNR (do not resucitate) because it's over. And now starting to look pathetic.
Maybe his buddy, the warmonger, bloodthirsty Lieberman can help with fundraising for him as he's too lazy to do it himself. Afterall, Lieberman headlined a fundraiser for the equally bloodthirsty Susan Collins.
I love how Bush screwed McCain in SC in 2000. Then McCain is Bush's biggest sycophant for the next seven years. But does the Bush family EVER pay people back? Um, no. Throughout the years the Bush family takes takes takes and then doesn't come through in return. And I just laugh.

I am so sick and tired of left-wing propaganda. I am so disgusted that the left must constantly pepper their writings with half-truths, sophistic arguments and outright lies. It's time for the right to have the courage to start calling these little Goebbels little Goebbels.
Honestly I am starting to think McCain is finished. But now I must reconsider since the little Goebles is also so sure of himself.
To call Senator Lieberman and Senator Collins warmongers and bloodthirsty, based purely upon subjective emotions, during wartime broaches sedition. What makes this all the more disgusting is that their motive is purely of a partisan nature.
No one who knows anything about politics would ever call McCain a Bush sycophant. McCain has made his disagreements with the President well known. But McCain has also worked hard to help the President accomplish much of his agenda. Since both are center-right Republicans then this is commonsensical and expected.
The Bush family is known worldwide for their loyalty to friends and their integrity. To have some neo-liberal fascist rewrite history merely because the Bush family is Republican reveals how sick the left in America are today!

"bloodthirsty"?
Jeez, man, learn some perspective -- maybe even some decency. You're sick.

I think Rob needs to stop this. I can't stand it anymore.
