RINO McCain: Leave My Free Speech Alone!

In a typical slimy political move, RINO (Republican In Name Only) McCain tries to pull a fast one. The Abramoff issue being discussed is Senatorial and Congressional BRIBE-TAKING.

But McCain once again attempts to smother free political speech in every form except for politicians and major media through his McCain/Feingold farce, leveling outrageous charges against the Federal Election Commission:

McCain sees the danger of average citizens keeping a close eye on their elected representatives through the freedom of the Internet and other alternative media. US citizens are clearly fed up with a lying, manipulated legacy media in CBS, NBC, ABC, NYT, WAPO, CNN, etc. - politicians have mastered the art of the sound byte. An alternative media that provides the REST of the story is anathema to a shady politician. And to a liberal media, for that matter.

I really regret that John McCain has fallen so far from his heroic past, it's a shame that today's military don't support him any more either. But his actions as an Arizona Senator have betrayed the very ideals our military protects. His 1991 betrayal of Vietnam POWs and MIAs and their families, in cahoots with another Vietnam 'hero', John Kerry, by killing US government efforts at recovery before we found our lost soldiers was just the start of McCain's slide into political whoring. His supposed 'campaign finance reform' is a joke, a shallow deception to consolidate electoral power in the hands of politicians and the major media.

Any mention of the Swift Boat Vets in a negative way gets my blood boiling as well. The article talks about the damage done to Hanoi John Kerry's presidential campaign by the Swifties, when in fact Kerry himself did the damage long ago by shamelessly lying about his military service. The article makes it seem like the Swifties did a bad thing, especially if you consider that MoveOn.org is also a 527. I'll put up with MoveOn if I have to, but they have to deal with groups like the Swift Vets too.

Kerry was a consumate liar, almost on par with the master Bill Clinton; but the Swift Vets came forward with the truth. The Swifties did an incredible service for their country once again, in the face of a hostile media and political climate, AGAIN, and with no regard for personal gain or loss, AGAIN. My hat is ever off to them, they buy no beer in my presence - forever. I cannot imagine 9/11 and a subsequent War on Terror under a Kerry presidency...we'd all be lining up to convert to Islam by now.

Only towards the end does McCain begin to address the problem, if only obliquely, with his 'earmarks' babble. "Duh, there's a built in problem with lobbyists having any access to legislators to address legislation specific to their clients." As solutions go, I guess regulated lobbyists and some good old fashioned INTEGRITY on the part of our elected officials is out of the question, according to McCain - need to do away with the earmarks.

So don't pass any laws, make any decisions John?

Or, maybe dump them all in a bill but don't tell anyone?

We all see your plan John: Make a big fuss without saying anything substantial. Change the names and methods of the way legislators are bought, put together a fancy sounding bill just like your 'Campaign Finance Fascism'. Shut down blog sites that might tell your constituents the truth about who you sell yourself to, and why. The legacy media will back you because it puts some teeth back in their liberal yaps.

Not on my watch RINO. We netizens will find a way around any bogus muzzle you put on our contitutional right to flame your corrupt, lying, power-mad ass in 'public' when you deserve it. Count on it.

Never forget: Despite what you and your homies in DC think, you ALL STILL WORK FOR US. Don't make us prove it to you again, our foreign enemies would take advantage of another American Revolution.

Adios MF,

Doug
