Yes, I’ve stated I’ll vote for McCain but that doesn’t mean I won’t still poke fun at him!
John McCain seems to be getting hooked by some of the nasty FEC regulations. After using the law to his advantage by gaining access to primaries without having to get signatures in each state, he now doesn’t like the imposition of the spending limits that come along with it.
The part of this that I find most ironic is that McCain’s attorney is claiming a constitutional right for McCain to back out of the FEC program.
Shouldn’t John McCain have worried about the the power that the FEC has and the consitutionality aspect before he muddled it further with McCain Feingold?
This is great. I mean the whole McCain-Feingold thing stinks, but it is great to see that McCain gets a taste of his own medicine!
While not knowing the gory details of campaign finance laws I thought McCain-Feingold dealt with soft vs. hard money and the time frame of independent opposition ads. Public financing pre-dated his legislation.
If I’m wrong let me know how.
