Can You Believe They Said This? (Times Two)
Mark Tapscott pulled this John McCain quote from the ionosphere where McCain seems to be spending more and more time:
"He [Michael Graham] also mentioned my abridgement of First Amendment rights, i.e. talking about campaign finance reform....I know that money corrupts....I would rather have a clean government than one where quote First Amendment rights are being respected, that has become corrupt. If I had my choice, I’d rather have the clean government."
Is he insane? Earth to McCain: Conservatives do not believe in the perfectibility of people, and the legislative bodies they form. We are not going to surrender our right to free speech in exchange for any person's definition of "clean government."
I've been somewhat suspicious of McCain for a while, though not nearly as much as a lot of other conservatives. But this settles it: if he gets the nomination I'll vote third party, or just stay home.
And today, from John Derbyshire notes in The Corner:
Watching Meet the Press roundtable on the gas price kerfuffle.Russert, challenging Energy Secretary Sam Bodman: "Oil demand is up. Supply is down. So why are prices rising?"
Er...........
Er....indeed.
