Want to know why I am, A) so anti government, and B) so anti John McCain?
The Federal Election Commission went after a hapless back-marker NASCAR driver for the massive national matter of putting one bumper sticker for BUSH in 2004 on a single Nextel Cup Car. A federal investigation was held on the matter of the bumper sticker, a federal hearing ensued, affidavits taken from the driver as to the potential maker of corruption at the highest levels of government, and just when the FEC General Counsel wanted to levy a huge federal fine, a single vote prevented it's absurd application. The NASCAR driver and team, justly chastised for their violation of McCain/Finegold and illegal entry into politics, pledged never ever to be involved in politics again by doing anything as potentially illegal as placing a bumper sticker on their car again. Ever!
This is a story worth a national campaign it is soooo stupid. But this is what John McCain hath given us. RedState.com writes the story so well I will just refer you there. Read it and weep...and don't you ever support this guy for President unless you want more of the same.
What would Dale Earnhart Sr. think? The FEC goes after NASCAR.
