"And if they found it acceptable, it would be just fine by you?"
No, it would not necessarily be fine with me. However, I would obey the laws of the nation. I would not select which laws I would obey and then bitch when I got busted that the law ain't fair. I would, however, try to change the opinion of the majority to change the law, as I do with abortion. The issue with Soros is that he is using vast sums of money to try to drown out the voices that disagree with him. I have no problem with open debate. The American people need to hear the FACTS on both sides of an issue to help them make INTELLIGENT decisions. Unfortunately that no longer happens. Dan Rather proved that. Winning is everything, the truth is meaningless. How sad.

The Dems and GOP party hacks are using the force of the state (prison, guns if they have to) to "drown out the voices who disagree".
And you're afraid of Soros?

Usually a good idea. But not the only idea. Ask the black people who were governed by JIM CROW laws.

It won't work. And many here are proposing to drown out voices that disagree with them by using government force to do so. same thing.
I have no problem with open debate.
Goody

People can figure things out. Do you think that people are stupid? That's what elitist liberals think. I'm sure you don't agree with them.
Unfortunately that no longer happens. Dan Rather proved that.
Of course it does. Rather has been shown to be a goof. No credibility. And in record time I might add.
Winning is everything, the truth is meaningless. How sad.
Don't be sad. Happily you are incorrect in your assessment.

So, too, do the Dems and Reps by only giving themselves $74.6 million to run for President after their nominating conventions. Any candidate who gets on enough state ballots to make it mathematically possible to win in the EC should get the same $74.6 million.
