Gee, I guess I'm just too ignorant ... However, you misread - I said the fault was in "getting along" and being compromised, rather than showing leadership and principles that are so espoused. You say John McCain "should be stood against the wall" You are obviously waaaay smarter than me. I guess I'm too ignorant to want to shoot our citizens, as you seem to advocate. Especially a war hero who has been in harm's way and served our country. Have you served your country and been in harm's way, Ken? McCain is a fellow who tells the truth as he sees it, whether he's right or wrong. You don't get duplicity that way. Now that you mention it, McCain is one of the very few that I would like to see stay in office. The campaign finance reform bill misses the mark, as usual. The problem is cost of communication, among our 1/4 billion people, as you correctly identify. The electronic media uses "the commons" and owes the public a channel of communication for political dialog. Were those costs for campaign dialog removed, campaign reform wouldn't be an issue. The propagandists could spend all they wanted, and a channel would be available for rebuttle and debate. That will happen anyway. It will just take a few more years, when more have broadband unlimited-channel connectivity. So the CFR is irelevant, IMO
