McCain’s shaky relationship with NRLC and the decline of the “Straight Talk Express”

27 April, 2007 (09:06) | John McCain | By: Phil Ayres

Though McCain is clearly the strongest pro-life candidate in this race, it is ironic that HE is the one fighting with the NRLC…. because of his position on abortion?… NOPE… but on his campaign finance position.

At issue is a provision banning ads that mention the names of candidates for public office within certain “blackout periods” ranging from 30 to 60 days before an election–if funds from corporations or unions are used to pay for the ads.

So, apparently, this “feud” is causing relations to sour “severely” between the pro-life crowd and the McCain campaign. Yet, more evidence that the McCain campaign is spiraling into oblivion.It really is ironic to see this campaign contrasted with the 2000 campaign. He was the free-talking outsider (seemingly)… which is incredibly ironic since he was the ultimate insider. Now, he is perceived as being “the man”. Pro-Iraq. Old. Fighting with Pro-lifers. Making stupid and crazy comments in public. I trace the decline back to the SNL appearance. I feel that he was at his ultimate HEIGHT at that point. It has been ALL down-hill from there. Unfortunately, his cart was tied too closely to the “Bush wagon”… which is on a hill spiraling out of control, also.
