Geez Carl

"those complaining have their own agendas."

I have an agenda also, I see this whole thing as an further infringement on the FREEDOM (emaphasis only) of speech. In my minds eye the statement in the Constituttion that says "Congress shall make no law" is what is being manipulated. It does not say "Congress can abridge these rights as seen necessary" or if they "just do it a little" or to "fits the circumstances of the day", it says "Shall make no law."

I think you know or at least, I hope you know I am no FUDDER this is just real disturbing to me on a lot of levels.

"The McCain-Feingold law was written explicitly to muzzle critics of Congress."

If you wish I can find the transcripts of John McCain on the Sunday talk shows in 2001 and 2002 complaining about the critics and suggesting the changes to the campaign finance laws. He and Feingold both bemoaned the "fact" that money was corrupting the politicians. WHAT? What the heck happened to personal responsibility and choice? Money does nothing to corrupt the poiliticians they make that choice themselves just as you or I chose as kids to steal the cookies out of the cookie jar as kids.
