Re: Campaign Finance Reform vs Freedom of Speech

Hey, Sass! Considering the Superbowl is on now, I suspect that you and I will be the only ones posting till it's over. Does that sound sexist? <G>

I'm in agreement with you. Needless to say, those against campaign finance reform will use anything as an argument, especially if it sounds inciteful.

I'm very glad that McCain is pushing this issue, Bush's agenda be damned. It was the Republicans that squashed the whole reform process before, but they're damn good as cloudying things up so as not to be noticed for these things.

Now the spotlight is on and if they don't come up with any decent reform package, the party will be noticed for their failure. Bush, in particular, could be made to look bad.

There's nothing better than watching one of their own go after another.

The McCain-Fiengold bill is a much better beginning to this session of Congress, though it won't be at the top of their agenda. They've gotta make little Bushie look like he's acting all presidential first with his ridiculous education stuff. Man, I've never heard so much talk about so little an action.

The only benefit I can see to Bush's education reform concept, is that the rich will get yet another tax break. Geez, a $1500 voucher for private schools! With most private schools in my area averaging anywhere from $10,000 to $15,000 a year, the only ones who'll be able to use such a voucher will be the rich who'd send their kids there any way.
