"Before the final draft was even submitted, the "powers that be" of BOTH sides had already determined that ALL the restrictions could be overcome. McCain-Feingold was as meaningless today as the day it was signed. There are pleanty of work arounds.

You are 1000-percent correct.

I am astounded at all the teeth gnashing going on regarding this issue.

People constantly violate previous campaign laws, and the most that happens is a fine, and even that is rare.

I am as astounded as you with the teeth gnashing -- makes no sense. Plenty of workarounds and not something to go around shouting The Sky is Falling!

There won't be any violations of the restriction on political ads before an election. The TV and cable networks will not chance having their broadcast lisences pulled for breaking that part of this law. The real issue isn't the campaign contributions, it's the hit that the 1st amendment took because of this law.

I agree; CFR is absolutely meaningless on ALL levels!

The President must continue to focus on the truly IMPORTANT issues -- like our life and death struggle against the terrorists (Islamic and leftist) who plan to destroy this country any way they can!
