Monetary political contributions by individuals are free speech. That is the truth. Grow up and get over your objections.

The only thing these "campaign finance laws" have done is muddy the waters.

It is purposeful. It is anti-American and it is contrary to every reason this country was founded.

This whole class-envy and anti-corporate attitude in this country has been spawned by the fact that the federal government has ASSUMED too much power and nobody has said "NO".

It is time that we the people say "No" and enforce it with torches and pitchforks if necessary.

In case you didn't notice I wasn't arguing in favor of any existing campaign finance law.

And I'm just wondering: do you consider bribery a form of free speech too? You should go to Hyde Park in London on a Sunday if you want to get a real idea of what inspired the idea of free speech here in America.
