John McCain's Deal-Breaking Moment With Republicans

We all have our top-five list of reasons why John McCain hates liberty and shouldn't be the GOP nominee, but there is not a clearer more obvious deal-breaker for me with McCain than campaign finance reform.

Let's be as simple as possible: John McCain sponsored a bill that made it illegal for advocacy groups to air ads immediately before an election. He thought it was proper and constitutional to silence free speech based on his concept of the "public good."

Read that again, and think about the implications. John McCain thinks that silencing free speech is a good idea. He wants the government to shut you up for your own good.

And he wants Republicans to vote for him? In order to be a president who defends the constitution, one needs to be a person who has not tried in the past to undermine it completely.

Conservative Republicans should say no, no and no again to John McCain. His assault on the constitution must be stopped.

Vote Bob Barr.

And if that wasn't your deal breaking moment, there are at least 500 others to chose from.

John McCain is UNACCEPTABLE!

Can NOT support sen. McCain. Since
he seems to be courting the democrat/independent vote and has
for years, he can have them. I will
not support any office seeker that
i believe will sell out my values or has already done so! Will be
supporting Bob Barr. Is my belief
that we have been "sold" out by
Washington. "Literally!"/
