John McCain and the "Bull!@#$ Express" On Campaign Finance Reform

The Bullshit Express steamed through the topic of campaign finance reform today, and it was McCain at his usual. For someone that has some pretty shady stuff and lawsuits concerning his campaign financing, it takes some gall to try and call out Obama on "Going Back On His Word". Especially when that is what John McCain does best. There is plenty of proof on that subject too. In fact it comes out almost daily. The more I hear John McCain talk the more he disgusts me as a person and a politician.

I just hope his lies are as transparent to others as they are to me. Although it doesn't take long to do a search and find John McCain lying on a regular basis. Whether it's going back on offshore drilling, going back on the bush tax cuts, going back on what he said the day before. I used to have some respect for him and felt bad the way Bush drug him through the mud in 2000. But the truth is the man, while being a war "hero" or prisoner, is a criminal. He knowingly kept a lid on the fleecing of Americans in the Keating Five affair. He also got off scott free on that. If he did not have the best interests of the American people in his mind then what makes someone think he will now?

A quick search through AZ news will show you a wealth of information on his dealings with land developers in his home state. His priority is himself, his friends, his republican party, and the twisted ideology that has taken control of the Republican Party.

His presence in our government can be brought to a much needed conclusion though... By voting.

That also goes for the Republicans and Democrats that sold us and our Constitution out on F.I.S.A today. How? By backing a "compromise" granting immunity to the Telcoms, and basically gutting the F.I.S.A. court process, they have failed to do their job and betrayed their oath to the Constitution and to Us. Instead of doing the right thing and sticking with the no immunity clause. They instead sided with the large pockets of the Telcom companies, and decided to protect them from the consequences of helping Bush & Co. break the law. A very sad day in our history and a Giant leap backwards on our personal privacy. It should be allowed to go to court. So we may be given a chance to find out what went on, who did it, and how to make it so it never happens again. Because the rapidly expanding powers of the President and his ability to shun the Constitution when he sees fit; Is not what our founding fathers had in mind. Whether it be peacetime or wartime our Constitution works, without having to bend or ignore portions of it.

Ok and now more Campaign Finance reform...
