What Good Is McCain-Feingold?
Has anyone noticed ANY changes as a result of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reforms? I think Bush signed that one just to make this issue go away and in many ways, it has. Campaign finance reform is truly a joke. In a country where freedom of speech is one of our very basic rights, silencing people, whether Swift Boat Vets or the move oners, they have a right to speak. Now with this whole Rather-biased mess, it’s clear that trying to silence one mode of speech but not silencing bias like Rather (on the PUBLIC airwaves) is totally wrong. Let people give their money to whoever they want. Anyone who can buy airtime should have access. All I ask is that each donor be disclosed.
