RADICAL CONCEPT ALERT!!!

I think it was George Will earlier this year who made the point that if the federal government wasn't so big and had their fingers in so many pies this (campaign financing) wouldn't be a problem.

I always thought that anyone should be able to give however much money they want to whatever politican they. With one small provision...it must be reported.

Or let's say if the federal government respected the Constitution and individual rights. It isn't really a question of size, it's a question of respecting rights. If the government is not allowed to sell favors to one person at the expense of another ... well then there won't be anyone buying favors.
