[I voted for John McCain in 2008, even though I considered him a weak entry by the Republicans. But he was a man who had fought the good fight for America, and was a military hero in the true (old) sense of the word. While not agreeing with all of his politics – especially that climate change should be a national security issue for the US – but he did hew sufficiently to the conservative views on property, security (e.g. US as world's white hat hegemon), and liberty. His parting shot at President Trump will assure that his funerary plaudits will make political history. Thank you for your service, and RIP Senator McCain. gjr]

re: McCain-Feingold
I honestly can’t see the point of campaign financing laws. Aside from 1stA issues, you immediately run into the morass of defining what ‘financing’ even is and the rule set surrounding it. Ten minutes later, people wiggle around it and we’re off to the races. The grey areas are basically used as legal weapons for their own campaign purposes or as yet one more way for a frisky prosecutor to get his hooks into you. Generally, I’d say that those laws/regulations are just one more mechanism for an entrenched and dominant party to stay that way.
The embarrassing thing is how money (at least up until Trump) can bend the results. If you merely run enough TV commercials, the average voter can be convinced of practically anything. Some even think that all the boat people in Europe are gypsies. Perhaps there’s something to be said for monarchy.

Walt, the answer is they don’t have an answer.
The narrative changes day to day, week to week. Wake up one morning and the Russian Collusion story gets flipped to Greaser to Stormy to Omarosa to something about insinuations being now fact about campaign funds being used to influence an election. So, you rub the sleep out of your eyes and say something stupid like, “Hey, didn’t Hillary use campaign funds to pay foreign sources to influence an election?” And they have no answers. They never have any answers.
So, this morning its flipped to Trump has not shown Enough reverence to John McCain, just like Trump did whenhe did not fly into the middle of a mass crisis mess going down with no manpower to spare to have a photo op in the immediate aftermath of Harvey……and when he did, he did not show Enough concern for the flood victims.
It will never be enough, and they never have answers. Get used to it. The details are not even noteworthy. It will be another narrative in a day or two and when they have no answers then to stupid questions, they will chase another narrative.
From Russians to what is a campaign expenditure to Trump’s entire business organization with 200-500 companies to NY State Court to the Trump Foundation to the his tax returns! It’s all in the tax returns.
Today, it’s just the Lefties using McCain to bash Trump. If McCain was so great, whyndidn’t They vote for him? No answer.
Yep, get used to it. This will go on for at least the next 19 months. They have no answers and the details aren’t worth arguing over.
Destroy Trump! is the battle cry. Details, means, or methods not important, questions and holes in the story do not apply. Today it’s Trump is not paying Enough homage. Heck, Trump is honoring McCain’s wishes by not showing up at his funeral. But nooooo. It’s never Enough.
Kick back enjoy. We all know the Senate ain’t going to convict and because they have no plan, no issues, and no answers. They will continue full steam ahead shooting arrows from their empty quiver and blanks from their empty guns.
The way Punchy talks about Paline and Flynn the Liar!, makes me believe he never had any children. Changes everything. Not instant families or playing house and make believe, but having one’s children and family to sacrifice everything for. And round off the edges.

Just for curiosity I googled Sarah Palin Stalker and found out that the alleged incident happened years after she resigned as Governor (2009) so check it out Todd. Could not have been a reason for her quitting after only two years. You made that up, which is consistent with yo7ur constant lying on these pages. Here’s the real reasons she quit-direct quotes
“She said leaving office is in the best interest of the state and will allow her to more effectively advocate for issues of importance to her, including energy independence and national security.
ad_icon
“I love my job and I love Alaska, and it hurts to make this choice, but I’m doing what’s best for them,” Palin said, the sun glinting off a seaplane on Lake Lucille behind her.
Palin, 45, said that, after deciding not to run for reelection as governor, she realized she did not want to finish out her term merely for the sake of doing so.
“As I thought about this announcement that I would not seek reelection, I thought about how much fun other governors have as lame ducks: They maybe travel around their state, travel to other states, maybe take their overseas international trade missions,” she said
“As I thought about this announcement that I would not seek reelection, I thought about how much fun other governors have as lame ducks: They maybe travel around their state, travel to other states, maybe take their overseas international trade missions,” she said.
“I’m not going to put Alaskans through that,” she continued. “I promised efficiencies and effectiveness. That’s not how I’m wired. I’m not wired to operate under the same old politics as usual.”

There was no room in their feminist world for a good looking woman President, she had to be driven from the campaign. Palin has some of the same skills as Trump, they all came from a working world and connected to working men and women.

“It all started when Team Palin posted a tribute poem for Trig, who has Down Syndrome, on his birthday. Seeing this as an exploitation of Trig as a “magic intellectually disabled baby prop,” Stuef responded harshly, questioning Trig’s parentage, implying he was conceived in incest, and using the R word. The comments weren’t much more forgiving.

As published by the Los Angeles Times in April of 2010, not only were the two linked romantically, but were also stalking the Palin home in Alaska.
In the above cited article, it was also noted that noted D-lister made no secret in 2011 that her next target would be then 16-year-old Willow Palin, daughter of former-Alaska governor and VP candidate Sarah Palin.
Since yesterday, even more reminders are surfacing of the alleged comedienne’s rather disgusting attack against Trig Palin, Sarah and Todd Palin’s youngest child, who just so happens to have been born with Down Syndrome.

The MAGA hat does touch on the new censorship in public schools, like state universities Let’s toss our minors at this time and private entities that receive no taxpayer funding. Ok, let’s take Berkeley or Fresno State. No use beating about the Bush.
-We have free speech and hate speech is protected speech. Most recent proof is last year’s SCOTUS 9-0 decision protecting free speech.
-We have public universities that have their statements of “our values”. Those values include a welcoming environment, inclusivity, no words that may hurt someone’s feelings or make someone feel sad or excluded…or mocked. Halloween costumes come to mind as well as the bad word “ghetto”. The use ghetto might make someone from the ghetto fell sad when the student thinks of what it is like growing up in the ghetto. Best not to utter that word.
So, we have the 1st Amendment directly in conflict with a university’s “values”. This issue also must take into account the learning environment. You won’t want to have loud protests and folks carrying signs and chanting outside a college classroom . And now the Janus case is threatening collecting mandatory student body fees to fund groups on campus, be it the Muslim Student Association, White Student Association, or LBGTQQQD groups that other students do not agree with politically and should not be forced to fund through mandatory collection of fees. (I made up the names of the three groups as hypothetical examples)
Interesting to watch how this plays out. Thoughts and policial views have no anti-discrimination protections afforded to the disabled, ethnic, racial, and religious groups, including atheists.
1st Amendment vs “community values”. I personally believe that in our country, every citizen is a minority of one, thus my view is in direct conflict with the various factions that comprise the coalition of the new face of the Democrat Party.

One day , two men, a Greek and an Italian were sitting in a coffee shop discussing who had the superior culture.
Over triple lattes the Greek says, “Well, we have the Parthenon.”
Arching his eyebrows, the Italian replies, “We have the Coliseum.”
The Greek retorts, “We Greeks gave birth to advanced mathematics”
The Italian, nodding agreement, says, “But we built the Roman Empire.”
And so on and so on until the Greek comes up with what he thinks will end the discussion.
With a flourish of finality he says, “We invented sex!”
The Italian thinks for a moment and then replies, “Ah, yes, that is true, but it was the Italians who introduced it to women.”

Those Greeks and Scots knew how to have a real party without women being present. Paul’s Druids did the same thing. Now we have a little critter that takes a shot to get rid of.
