Exactly. Bribes are not free speech. Money in government is limiting the debate on big issues, limiting free speech because the politicians stay silent on the issues the bribe money requires them to. America suffers on the issues where money buys the votes.
McCain sucks, but good god 95% of these comments are dumb and so is this video.
The 1st amendment DOES NOT cover legal bribery. Money does not equal speech in the constitution. It was a very bad decision by a bad court in the 70's.
"so-called first amendment rights..." that's not saying that clean govt's more important than free speech. He's saying that this limitation on the ability of the extremely wealthy to influence elections unduly is more than worth the liberating effects it will have on your country's government.
This is exactly correct, "QUOTE first amendment rights". The issue of unlimited campaign contributions is debated on the basis of contributions as "speech" vs contributions as "property". McCain considers it property, as do I. This is not referring to free speech in general. Watch and listen more carefully, please.
john mccain does fuck up every once in a while but ya gotta understand if hes gonna run for the 2008 president race hes gotta kiss ass of ultra-conservatives. Id prefer him for republican candidacy over some idiot like Frist or George Allen.

McCain Why are you spamming Ron Paul's petition? Is that a new low you have reached?

There are worse options than McCain, but there are better ones too. I wish it would come down to Obama vs. Paul. I wouldn't even vote on that one.
