You saying that McCain Feingold prohibits political speech at certain times? I've never heard that - only that it limits spending.

Really? The political speech limitations is the scary part of the bill. If the FEC chose to, they could go after conservative talk show hosts such as Rush and charge that they are actually just political advertisements and shut them down 60 days before an election.

I wish somebody would quote from the bill because I am having trouble finding anything like that. The main thing bad I am finding is how bureaucratic and red tape laden the reporting requirement for spending are.
