Campaign finance reform is going to look like the college football BCS. Every election cycle, the powers that be are going to be unhappy with the result of the past rules, and feel the need to "tweak" those rules. But in the BCS, the tweaks are just an overreaction that doesn't profoundly affect anything. In CFR, every tweak is reducing our right to free political speech.

In 50 years, only government approved ads will be permitted during election years. The most recent CFR rules have started a death spiral for political discourse. Tragic.

Never forget it was Senator John McCain who brought us to this tragic abyss.
