I know. Thanks for your response gpapa. I wanted to see if his response was honest.
"On issues, he addresses head-on the major complaints conservatives have about his record. He was largely stymied in his 1997 investigation of both Clinton-Gore and GOP campaign fund-raising abuses: Key witnesses declined to testify or fled the country, though evidence eventually surfaced of a Chinese plan to influence U.S. politics. He wont argue with those who say he showed naiveté about how he would be stonewalled in his investigation. He says hes wiser now.
Many on the right remain angry he supported the campaign finance law sponsored by his friend John McCain. There are problems with people giving politicians large sums of money and then asking them to pass legislation, Mr. Thompson says. Still, he notes he proposed the amendment to raise the $1,000 per person hard money federal contribution limit.
Conceding that McCain-Feingold hasnt worked as intended, and is being riddled with new loopholes, he throws his hands open in exasperation. Im not prepared to go there yet, but I wonder if we shouldnt just take off the limits and have full disclosure with harsh penalties for not reporting everything on the Internet immediately."
