McCain vows to stop McCain violation of McCain-Feingold if elected

John McCainIn a surprise press release on Tuesday, Republican front runner John McCain vowed to close loopholes in the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (also known as the McCain-Feingold Act) if he is elected. Many critics have gone after the Republican candidate for securing a campaign loan using his future matching funds eligibility as collateral, then claiming that he wasn’t bound by restrictions connected with those funds.

“It boils my blood to see loopholes in the McCain Feingold Act exploited, and if I’m elected, I promise to fix the law, making future elections as fair as possible. The exploitation by the current Republican frontrunner completely violates the spirit in which this law was authored. I might not be able to do anything about this exploitation now, but if I’m elected, this egregious practice will be outlawed.”, says McCain.

Says a McCain supporter Carleen Hozier, “Senator McCain has a long reputation for being a straight talker and a maverick. I know if he’s elected, he’ll put a stop to all these dirty campaign financing tricks.”

When asked by a reporter why he couldn’t just stop what he’s doing during the campaign, McCain replied that he’d have to check on his position with his staff, then bowed out of the conference for a nap.
