"Too many Republicans and conservatives were seduced into voting for McCain-Feingold by the political benefits of banning soft money."

First clue to when we need to take arms against prospective legislation - when politicians CLAIM that they want to LIMIT their access to a source of campaign funds. There is no politician alive that wants to limit access to a source of campaign funding.

But, the issue goes well beyond just the superficial funding issue. If we are truly going to resolve the unConstitutional aspects of CFR AND resolve the issue of campaign finance reform, I believe that the answer lies in limiting Crogressional sessions; NOT Congressional terms. If we limit Congressional sessions to one 6 month term once every other year, we can do much to take the influence of money out of politics. After the 6 month Congressional session ends, the politicians go home to a regular job. I think this will go a long way to curb many of the ills currently affecting our political system and our system of government. When Congress is in session, it is like giving children the keys to the candy store. If we limit the length of Congressional sessions, we limit the damage these people can do.
