McCain wishing to stifle 1st and 2nd Amendment rights?

This from Gun Owners of America on S.2128 introduced by Johnny-give-up-your-gun.

"If McCain succeeds in pushing an expansive interpretation of his bill (as he did when he convinced the courts to regulate the Internet under McCain-Feingold), then we could see a host of draconian restrictions affecting both GOA and you.
For example, if we wanted to alert you to gun ban that is moving in our nation's capital, we could first have to tell McCain (and all his other buddies in Congress) about what we're planning to do, who we're planning to alert (that is, grassroots folks like yourself), how much money we plan to spend, etc.
Because of Section 105 in this bill, everyone with whom GOA contracts to get the word out (advertisers, printers, etc.) could be required to tell Congress twenty days in advance about GOA's public information campaign."

Sounds just like McCain, doesn't it? And he really thinks he stands ANY chance of beign backed by conservative Republicans come national election time?

Could ANYONE be that dumb?

A McCain candidacy won't pass the laff test with conservatives.

Must be some sort of smoke and mirrors deal going on here. Pundits continue to pick McCain as a frontrunner for '08, and I find it hard to believe they can say this with a straight face. He can call on the veterans for sympathy, and hope that his leftwing activities are viewed as being middle of the road to the clueless.

And that's about it. As usual, the country will be looking for a change of pace when W's term is up, but McCain?

Nah.
