Goof:
Mccain-Feingold is the classic example of a over-hyped worthless beltway reform. What was the purpose of the bill. To reduce the amount of spending on Campaigns, to lessen the influence of the corporate moneybags, and to make it possible for non-millionaires to run for office. What has been the result?The amount of spending is higher then ever, the corporations are still giving and the influence of their money is as great as ever, and we have a Republican millionaire running against a Democratic Billionaire.
And which party pushed it the hardest.The democrats. Was John Kerry a supporter of that bill and has he always pushed for more public financing of campaigns. Of course!.Yet for his campaign he is opting out of the system so he can spend as much as he wants.I thought it was just republicans who spent all the money.Typical DC pol, he loves reform for everyone else but when it comes to his own campaign he finds the reforms a bit too restrictive.And other then Fred Werth no one is calling him on this charade.
