John McCain is a war hero. Let's go ahead and get that out of the way first. McCain is not a phony war hero like John Kerry who spent a few months in Viet Nam and received three Purple Hearts without ever needing to spend a single night in the hospital. John McCain truly suffered in his service to his country and could not be more of a war hero unless he was that guy who blinked in morse code while reading the statement demanded by his captors. Now that that has been said let's review how Senator John McCain has served his country recently.
McCain teamed with uber-liberal Russ Feingold to limit your right to free speech. This bill wasn't aimed at pornography or what the politically correct call "hate speech". No, the McCain Feingold legislation was specifically directed at political speech. By some this was dubbed the "incumbent protection act" and this law has limited the ability of groups of citizens to get their message out regarding candidates running for elections during the time period when most voters are paying the most attention.
Senator McCain promised this legislation would "get the money out of politics" and just the opposite has happened. This faulty legislation has created 527's which allowed one man, George Soros to spend 24 million dollars to defeat the reelection of George W. Bush in 2004. Soros failed in this but he sure has gotten a lot of Americans stirred up and these organizations have kept people that way for the past 4 years.
