If what McPain-Feingold started reaches its natural conclusion, we here on FR will only be able to discuss sports, trivia questions and whether fashion week in Paris/London/NYC met our expectations for the 90 days before every federal election.
The Internet will become what regular TV is, a mind numbing excuse for being alive while on the couch stuffing your mouth with soda and cheese chips.
No, it will simply turn FR into a Soviet style tea room where actual names of politcal parties and candidates will be substituted with nicknames, such as Babar or Francis, houses of congress as "master bedroom" for Senate as upper house and kitchen or parlor as "House of Rep" as lower house. It will be fun!
I think we should be worried.
What if somebody "posts alot"? What if they elections commission says that each post consitutes a 60 second effort of donation and that if you make 300 posts (for 5 hours) per week then you have to report your FR posting?
It really is an effort to regulate beyond the Moveon's. The want to regulate the moneyless campaigning. (ie Buckhead)
