John McCain's weak-ass statement on SOTUS ruling

[JBoy]

Wasn't Campaign Finance Reform one of McCain's mavericky badges of honor?

What the hell happened to him? His entire statement on the Citizens United ruling is:

"I am disappointed by the decision of the Supreme Court and the lifting of the limits on corporate and union contributions. However, it appears that key aspects of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (BCRA), including the ban on soft money contributions, remain intact."

WTF??

2. What did you expect? In the Post-Palin-Pick world, were you waiting for signs of integrity?

Please!

3. You would think that real Conservatives would be in the streets with Pitchforks

4. He would know what is in the bill though

So what remains intact?

5. Mr. 'Don't know-don't care" whether-Palin-knows-anything is a fraud?

Shocking.

7. Say, that is weak

And again with the "bipartisan" bullshit -- God I am so fucking sick of hearing that fucking word.

8. He's afraid J.D. Hayworth is going to run against him in the primaries.

So he's reaching out to the extreme right-wingers (not a very far reach here in Arizona). What a hypocrite.
