hate speaking of guns john mccain received over twelve thousand dollars
from gun rights packs and he still voted for background checks and really covered
on the show the story that
an overwhelming number of of the individuals who voted against background
checks
had received money from the n_r_a_ and other gun rights groups john mccain got
twelve thousand bucks he still voted for the background checks out my question is
the following
didi get the twelve thousand and vote for the background checks because he's
an independent thinker
he's an honestly iraq will be bodies and now for it
or is it because the twelve thousand dollars just wasn't and nafta by his
vote
profiles in dollars is uh...
pretty fertile
so admits on what do you think about this
uh... bowl two things one i think that
we tend to the sort of commit a fallacy when we say that
uh... there's corruption in politics there is allot of campaign money there's
a lot a lobbying money that goes into voting in congress and the senate
and because of that
no vote is legitimate
on the basis of the merits of the law and that the politician is just
agreeing with the merits
i think that that also happened so i mean
there is a revolving door in politics there is there a campaign contributions
but there's also
gore voting on this that's one thing the second thing is i don't think john
mccain even with this campaign money has any real challenge
to his reelection
uh... he's a sort of a state senate seat and its unlikely that because of this
boat he wouldn't be able to affectively argue that here's just a reasonable
thingy support it
so you think that it if the money didn't affect him because he has a safe seat
which is a net which is basically
it also relates the money right lewis how like well you know my health one
possibility how likely disagrees with it
how likely is it that money will pour in
to somebody who might oppose john mccain successfully
and doesn't seem like that's very likely
but the ccm like the type of guy who who has done that over the years i mean i
think in this case it's more likely that he actually just things background
checks are a good idea
because
i don't know just be a bit more fingered in northern california has a reasonable
view one torture in waterboarding why wouldn't you have a reasonable the one
that's really is is is true
