Remarking on John McCain I wrote this Jan. 23
Romney can destroy McCain in a conservatism duel with these 4 words:
McCain- Feingold, McCain-Kennedy.
For elaboration refer to my featured post McCain, Maybe for Thee But Not For Me from last August where I wrote
If elected I will support him but I won't work to get him elected.
Why?
Two words:
McCain-Feingold.
Now we get this from Don Surber commenting on a Dick Morris analysis via instapundit.com
John McCain’s PROBLEM:
Two words:
McCain-Feingold.
The fundamental difference between McCain 2000 and McCain 2008 is that he put his name on a law that forbids people from speaking out against their congressman within 60 days of an election.
I seriously doubt Surber has visited my blog but I am flattered nonetheless. He also adds…
McCain-Feingold.
That is a show-stopper. Ever step in fresh dog-doo? The smell sticks to the shoe all day. That is what McCain-Feingold is to the senator from Arizona.
He is no longer John McCain. He is McCain-Feingold. . . . Americans do not like to be told to shut up.
McCain-Feingold told Americans to shut up.
Even Feingold could not run with it. He should be Obama. Instead, he is stuck on the sidelines because of McCain-Feingold.
I think that's right.
Needless to say, me too (and don’t get me started on El Russell Bin Feingold)
This plus all the other reasons previously listed convince me McCain will be retiring from the Senate, not the White House. For even more reasons check out the latest Reason magazine, print edition, where their cover story on McCain is anything but flattering.
Like I said back then,
“If you get into bed with uberlefty whores chances are you won't come out clean. Those 2 pieces of legislation are the syphilis and gonnarhea of those Senatorial hook-ups”.
