As I have said several times, I would like all campaign restrictions lifted so every American left, middle, right, libertarian, whatever can participate fully in the democratic process by giving whatever they choose to the candidate of their choice. That would overwhelm Special Interest money, almost certainly.So it would be okay with you if one person gave, say $100 million to a candidate?You don't believe that a person like that would have undue influence over a candidate, and expect a lot in return?C'mon Puss. Tell me you don't believe that. After all, that quid pro quo thing.....that never happens in politics, right?There would have to be very tough laws for immediate and full disclosure, but guess what, Special Interests have been funneling 10's if not 100's of millions of dollars into elections for decades, mostly to Democrats.Unions, for example, spend much more on their own ads and electioneering efforts than is reported in public disclosure forms.Massive amounts in, snicker, "small donations" last election were simply bundled by the same Special Interest Groups that always Soros and other leftists spent large amounts of money indirectly to influence elections, amounts and places that can only be guessed at.Never saw you complain about it when Dems were the ones benefiting.You know what kind of freedom I like Puss? The freedom to go to my doctor and have a legal procedure without having the government force my doctor to shove a probe up my vagina against my will. That kind of freedom.Oh gosh, is your amnesia bothering you again? The bill is being re-written, as I predicted and as I support.And as usual, not one single word of concern about the loss of arguable human life, or even literal human life, when partial birth abortions are done.Seems liberals have more compassion for animals.
