I tend to disagree with any “conservatives” that back McCain style campaign finance reform. With the libs controlling the MSM, it is only through paid media that we can hope to level the playing field. But, I wonder, how your idea would normalize the mix of Red/Blue States?
Because big money states like California and New York can no longer influence the Senate as much for one.
Remember all the Money that Hillary received from California? The K street lobby couldn’t lobby (ply with campaign contributions) every Senator, it would revert back to the way it was, Senator lobby Senator for quid pro quo political patronage forcing Senators to actually concentrate on representing their state interests rather than trying to be 1% of a President.
Politics would become local again as even the bluest of states would have to be some kind of moderate.
In addition, I would like to see any entity that receives any federal dollars either through budgets or grants limited to “NO” campaign contributions and “NO” campaign issue adds.
You see the lock Liberals have? They give money to organizations that will in turn support them with contributions, such as unions, planned parenthood et al.
This part is controversial and I’m not advocating it, but I want to use it as an extreme example: Anybody on Welfare loses their right to vote and their right to donate. Now with something like that in place you think the Libs will try and push a welfare state on us?
