McCain Has Trouble Understanding His Own Laws
This is relatively old news, but I haven’t heard anything about it in the mainstream media. It appears John McCain has provided us with another example of a hypocritical politician who can’t abide by his own unjust legislation. Namely, the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002, penned by John McCain and Russ Feingold, which undermines the First Amendment.
McCain filed for FEC matching funds earlier in his primary campaign, thereby obligating him to limit his spending to $54 million during the primary. Being that the matching funds are delayed — and it takes a lot of money to convince people to vote for a lying warmonger (“[100 years in Iraq] would be fine with me”), who admittedly has a poor understanding of economics — he allegedly exceeded the spending limit. It became more clear when he requested that he be withdrawn from the matching funds program.
There’s a catch though: you can’t just withdraw after being approved. McCain childishly pointed to Howard Dean and John Kerry, claiming that they were able to withdraw. But, as noted in the articled I linked to, both of them had withdrawn before being certified, and before benefiting from the program. This is not true in John McCain’s case.
