Did you see my post about McCain's "free" speech comment? Appalling. “As my 15-year old son would say, ‘Duh!’ — they’re engaged in partisan political activities so therefore they should be regulated,” McCain said. Message 19901170

I'm all for political free speech. I'd be thrilled if it was serious debate of real issues conducted honestly & accurately, but I realize that's asking too much. I don't think it's fair that certain interests with deep pockets should be allowed to dominate the discussion. Explain how having more money & access to the press makes all political speech equal? Something needs to be done to equitably level the playing field & at the same time let politicians spend their time working for the electorate rather than their main priority of raising campaign funds.
