"He [Michael Graham] also mentioned my abridgement of First Amendment rights, i.e. talking about campaign finance reform....I know that money corrupts....I would rather have a clean government than one where quote First Amendment rights are being respected, that has become corrupt. If I had my choice, I'd rather have the clean government."Sorry, but clean government only comes when we have and abide by the US Constitution and those Amendments to the US Constitution, including the freedom of speech. McCain's disdain for the freedom of speech has a long history - going back to the ill-conceived McCain Feingold Campaign Finance Law. His ostensible claim to try and eliminate the influence of money in politics only served to reduce and eliminate the voices of millions of Americans.
McCain fancies himself as a contended for the 2008 Presidential campaign. If you needed a reason to consider never voting for McCain in a national election, this is the reason. After all, this goes to the heart of what a President is supposed to do- protect and defend the US Constitution. In his candor, McCain gives away the fact that he simply doesn't care about free speech.
