John McCain - He's Mad About Business

And that's not a good thing:

"I'm getting a bit tired of Senator McCain's anti-business shtick. The line about serving 'for patriotism, not for profit' is pathetic. America spends more on its military than the next 35-40 biggest military spenders on the planet combined: Where does he think the money for that comes from? . . . If greed is to be punishable, why doesn't he start with a pilot program applied to, say, the United States Senate and report back to us in five years how that's going?"

Elsewhere:

GOOD POINT BY ROMNEY about how McCain shouldn't "demean" people who start businesses. McCain has been doing that a lot, acting as if meeting a payroll is somehow less honorable than working for the government.

This makes me extremely uncomfortable with McCain, although I find McCain-Feingold an even stronger reason to be concerned about his presidency. He's not only mad about business, he's mad about your ability to talk about him 60-days before an election. Somehow, I just don't think I could trust a guy who doesn't believe in the First Amendment right to free speech to swear to uphold the Constitution.
