McCain's critique of SuperPACS and Citizen's United
In this interview, McCain criticizes Citizens United, stating that he has predicted that SuperPACs will “destroy the political process.” When asked why Romney or others don’t stand against Citizens United, McCain replied “Because they won’t stop…. as long as unlimited amounts of money are there, there not attributable to the candidate, it’s going to happen. ..We had campaign contribution limitations for a reason and the United States Supreme Court basically did away with all of that and we’re going to pay a heavy price for that ….” What is your response to McCain’s statements? Do McCain’s criticisms indicate a potential turn in Conservative politics?
