So Senator McCain is now going to court conservative leaders including religious conservatives. I find it ironic that those who pass laws restricting free speech specifically protected by the First Amendment would then snuggle up to the men they muzzled.
Was it not enough for President Johnson's gag rule by giving the IRS power to revoke non-profit status from preachers who take a political stand in their pulpits? Now we have the First Amendment "chucked under the bus" with the McCain-Feingold Act. It literally restricts free speech with devastating effects.
Just a little history trivia to remind us all of something. There would be no First Amendment if it were not for preachers! There would have been no Revolution if it were not for preachers! The Constitution is not a suicide pact!
Perhaps the conservative party should chuck McCain under the bus.
I wonder what the world would be like today if there was a McCain/Feingold law in the days of say...1776?
