There has been no support for freedom of speech by either the Conservatives or by the Liberals for at least 50 years or more. Why is anyone surprised? Both Conservatives and Liberals have fought for the power to determine the content of speech rather for the freedom of speech. The Campaign Finance Reform bill just codifies this struggle. It's not clear whether CFR helps Conservatives or Liberals more.

I don't believe that our founders intended that individuals or groups with deep pockets determine the direction of our nation and the rest of us peons would be left out in the cold.
Read the tax laws sometime and make a case that the old system was a good one. All those dollars pouring in was intended to accomplish a favorable result, and it did.

LOL. So the Supreme Court thinks buggery & abortion are guaranteed rights, but freedom of political speech isn't.
They are utterly & completely worthless to the cause of freedom.

You think the founding fathers were after a level playing field? Karl Marx surely was.
I think such a thing is not compatible with individual liberty, and I think our founding fathers mostly understood this.

"let's restrict the press, too" A horrifying thought. Also horrifying is the thought that, with grass roots organizations of citizens now muzzled, the leftist voice of the press now assume new importance.
