Junior George is using the "best science" argument as a way to protect his corporate campaign donors from having to take
any actions which might cost them or him any money.

And his corporate donors shouldn't be forced to take expensive actions that are sufficently justified. That's where the "best science" (not a really well defined term I admit) comes in to it. If you are going to control people through regulation or fine them or tax them because you believe that there actions are demonstratively harmful, then the science supporting your claim should be very solid and the harm caused by the taxes, fines and regulations had better be less then the harm that would come about in their absence.

Did you know that no scientific study has ever proven that violence on television impacts children's
behavior?

I don't think it is likely that one will any time soon. I would not argue "we need more violence on TV", but I would argue against any increase in government regulation of TV.

The Republican Party has their campaign finance abuse institutionalized into the system, and don't have to resort to the more
creative measures that Democrats require to run a competitive campaign.

The Democrats have their own institutionalized support, specifically from the unions and the trial lawyers. A lot of corporate support goes to both parties. Personally I don't want to limit campaign contributions or spending, I would however like to make it more open.
