McCain Rips Bush On Election Reform NEW YORK DAILY NEWS WIRE SERVICES WASHINGTON -- Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) fired a shot across President Bush's bow yesterday, slamming his support for a compromise campaign finance reform bill. McCain and Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) want unregulated soft money — funds donated to parties that allow candidates to get around donation limits — banned from individual campaigns. Bush has expressed support for a proposal by Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.) that would limit donations to national party committees to $60,000 and boost individual hard-money gifts to $3,000 per candidate. "Hagel is not in the middle of anything," McCain said when asked whether his bill was a middle-of-the-road compromise. "Hagel is the affirmation of soft money." "There are promising things in what Sen. Hagel has proposed," White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said. The Senate opens debate on campaign finance legislation next week, and McCain's news conference with a group of Democrats supporting his bill signaled his determination to fight for the legislation. The conservative Democrats, nicknamed Blue Dogs, often vote with the Republicans. Still, McCain — who was defeated by Bush in the GOP presidential primary — lost an important Democratic supporter: John Breaux of Louisiana. Breaux said a soft-money ban would hurt Democrats, who match Republicans in raising soft money but can't compete in collecting hard money because, he said, their constituents are less affluent. McCain conceded that a couple of Democrats "may be getting a little nervous, or maybe even looking for an exit sign. We always knew this was going to be tough."

res-<Similar happened to other liberal thinkers on the GWB thread. I know. They told me. There are vindicative ultra-right-wingers in Silicon Investorville who would lick their chops for an opportunity to take their smash-bashing out of the political arena and into the actual workplace, and then high-five each other. I call BS. Just like Bill, Hillary and most of the other "Clintonized" Democrats. You will say or do almost anything if you believe it will score a political point. "They told me", yeah right, Clinton and his team of radical lawyers told us a lot of things too, and very little was ever true. People who admire a liar, usually are one themselves. On the flip side, I received a few nasty notes from ultra left wing liberals who were too cowardly to debate me in an open forum during the election process from the GWB thread. And I can offer proof if need be. In the long time of posting and chatting with Ish on SI. He has rarely been wrong when making predictions about people. Michael

Flap do you know how many audits were placed on Conservative groups during the 8 year reign of terror ? When Bush was heckled he ignored it. One time a bunch of people mooned him at a train and he laughed his head off. When Clinton was heckled he had the hecklers arrested. He actually lived out what we feared of NIxon's hit list

If I were to specify my occupation, then people who dislike me (like you) could figure out where I work with a little digging, and then send bash-attack letters to my employer. I regard that sort of thing as seriously unethical and havr no intention of doing any such thing. But your boss doesn't know me from Adam. And you claim to be an exceptionally good worker. Why would he pay any attention to me. Mine wouldn't in the same situation. That's b*st, flappie, and you know it. And I have a disagreement with your politics, not with you personally. You might be a fine fellow that I would really like if I met you. There are a couple of liberals I have been exchanging friendly PMs with for a several months. Politics isn't everything. Similar happened to other liberal thinkers on the GWB thread. Who? I know. They told me. Proof? Posts? PMs? There are vindicative ultra-right-wingers in Silicon Investorville who would lick their chops for an opportunity to take their smash-bashing out of the political arena and into the actual workplace, and then high-five each other. Who? Yes, many on this thread choose not to toil to provide daily bread. They are above hard work Who? How do you know? Or is this just your communist-inspired image of your political opposition? I know many conservatives and none of them are loafing. All are performing work for which they are paid, either by clients or an employer. I also find it amusing that some of those who jumped my case last night for occasionally posting from work do similar. Well, we have something in common. I do it fairly regularly.
