McCain-Feingold

There is a lot of hubbub about this in the blogosphere. Evidently some very stupid people are trying to extend the law to include partisan political speech delivered on the internet. It is foolishness.

I'd like to go on record as saying that the MF Campaign Finance Reform Law is a horrible law. It completely and utterly failed to reform any part of campaign finance in the 2004 election. Things were more heavily regulated but still as or more corrupt. It is the worst of both worlds.

Plus it restricts freedom of speech. Not just any speech, but political speech. You know the speech that the 1st Amendment was deliberately created to protect. It needs to be repealed and repealed now, before it can do any more harm.
