McCain: GOP must be an advocate for limited government

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- On the same day he filed papers for a presidential exploratory committee, Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, said Thursday the GOP must embrace its founding principles of limited government to regain its majority.

"We are a nation that limits the reach of government because we understand that no government should have a right to impose itself between human beings and their lawful aspirations to make of their lives what they will," McCain said during a speech at the Federalist Society Conference in Washington.

=====================================================
It strikes me that McCain is intelligent enought ot know how government works.

One thing that government does is grow by its very nature. It seems to me that McCcain knows this, but he realy, really REALLY wants to be president.

I doubt that I'll vote for him. being as he endorsed Juniorbush and that asshole puppeteer, Cheney. I DO have standards, after all.

So, eventually, everyone would be employees of the government?

In the end if the choice is McCain or Hillary Clinton, even you will vote for McCain.

Why?

I liked Bill Clinton.

It would be fun to elect Hillary just to watch Rush Limbaugh explode.

When Clinton was first elected President Rush Limbaugh crowed that the cheif beneficiary of this event would be Rush Limbaugh .


Well , wasn't he right ? He predicted a growth in his audience and a fortune won.

Is there another fortune for him in this ?
