"Anyone here can still walk into a TV station, cut a check from their personal funds and run an attack ad."

True but not everyone here can AFFORD to financially. This is why we rely on representatives for whatever special interest group we belong to to speak for us. And we ALL belong to a special interest group, every single one of us.
And I may be wrong here but even if you do go into a TV station and pay for a political ad, you could come under investigation as to where your money came from and if you belong to any special interest group.
