It is a joke, I guess, but its intent is correct. I do believe in intent of the law over the letter of the law, so I don't think that McCain-Feingold's intent was to have money pouring into certain groups freely.
Do you understand what I'm saying? McCain and Feingold didn't want the system beaten like it is being beaten about now.
I disagree. I think McCain-Feingold has a negative intent. It seeks to take the political voice away from the American people. Campaign finance reform is an affront to the first amendment. It blocks the one type of speech that the first amendment was most intent on protecting. Do you really think Madison was trying to protect Larry Flynt's right to take and publish pictures of naked women? I'm not so sure. But I am sure that the first amendment is meant first and foremost to protect political speech. Everybody should have the right to donate as much money to a campaign as he or she sees fit. I refuse to accept the McCain-Feingold as anything more than an attempt to restrict my first amendment rights.
