The focus was on Democrats because they were the ones who were crooked. So said the Ethics committee of a Democratic Senate. McCain went to two meetings and asked some questions — nothing more, and he still felt bad about it.
He responded by attacking campaign finance corruption via McCain-Feingold, rather than adopting Klein’s ignorant regulatory views. I hate that bill, but would some please show me the comparable bipartisan effort by Great Uniter Obama? Or the comparable attack on business as usual from the Great Reformer?
And if McCain was so wrong about regulation in 1991, why did it take 16 years for those obvious errors to blow up? Does Klein know of _any_ economic theory than abolishes economic and financial cycles? How politically stupid is it to link McCain to _Reagan_, the most popular and ideologically successful President of the postwar era? Who’s next, Lincoln?
Learn a little history, a little economics, and the stupidities of this piece are obvious. If you want to advocate progressivism, you’ve got to be smarter than this.
