I'm all for campaign finance reform. When I took the little quiz on presidential candidates, based on issues, my top vote getter was some guy I'd never heard of! But how many contributors to HRC's campaign actually stipulated that?

The reason Republicans oppose the McCain-Feingold reforms is because it throws the US Constitution out the window. Please read the restrictions it places on us. The reason the Dems support it is because they have the Lapdog Press on the evening news to tout their agenda. Or their friends on the talk shows. Case in point: Rosie O'Donnald can go on her show everyday and trash Rudi. How can he respond? TV Ads... But under McCain's reforms he wouldn't be able to. Of course the Liberal Press supports it. They will be the arbitors of what's told to us under this bill. Candidates will not be able to buy TV time to put forth their beliefs. Is that what you want? Do you believe in Free Speech? I do and I want to be able to donate money to the people I choose to represent me.. If the Dems would obey the current laws we wouldn't need reform.
