POPSSomewhere, John McCain just high-fived Russ Feingold: ... Only two Republicans voted for the act: Rep. Anh "Joseph" Cao of Louisiana and Rep. Michael Castle of Delaware... ...Groups opposing the measure span the political continuum, including the ACLU, the Sierra Club, PIRG (the federation of state public interest research groups), the chamber and many others... The chamber recently called the bill a "desperate attempt" by Democrats to grab a political advantage in the midterm elections. The act requires companies and associations to submit a mountain of paperwork to the Federal Election Commission if they want to run an ad. Of course, the progenitor of these unconstitutional efforts was John McCain. Partnering with a far left Social Democrat, Russ Feingold, McCain led the effort to pass The Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002. The bill is better known as McCain-Feingold or, as I like to call it, "The Incumbent Protection Act".
