Why Rush Limbaugh and the Conservatives are wrong to oppose Campaign Funding Reform

self ^ | today | El Grande _Jimbo

[_Jim]

I see the following reasons as being sufficient to limit free speech and in the manner that congress has now chosen, that is, the opportunity to change The Constitution is ripe *without* the usual long and arduous process that is normally necessary for the purpose of ensuring that incumbents are re-elected from now on:

• This country needs an aristrocacy, a royal ruling class. We are practically begging for one - McCain can finally be King - let's do it!
• Congressman (and all elected officials for that matter) DON'T really need accountability! They'll do much better on their own, without someone continually looking over their shoulders and threatening their grip on power each election cycle. We need to give them freedom to act and make decisions that entail no consequences - let's do it!
• A 'Free Press' and 'Freedom of Speech' are MUCH overrated. Inventing the printing press was a mistake and education should ONLY be meted out to the select few that are destined to be elected and their soon-to-be noble offspring. Let's set the clock bank now - and enact that CFR legislation!
• We don't really need ANY freedom at all. As the song says: "Freedom's just another word for nothing else to do!"

[_Jim]

Let's do it!

Let's take that bold step back into the past - the sooner the better!

[_Jim]

Plse ... roast me!

[_Jim]

Quick - drive a stake through my heart!

Put me OUT of my misery BEFORE the next campaign cycle!

[elbucko]

THE FUTURE IS FEUDALISM!

[_Jim]

Give me that kick in the teeth I so richly need!

[_Jim]

Hear! Hear!

[Brilliant]

One more: We want the labor unions and the liberal media to be the only institutions in our society who can spend unlimited amounts of money on political advertising.

[_Jim]

Hear! Hear!

[_Jim]

I need a SERIOUS attitude adjustment - wrench me!

[The Raven]

We need to always stand firm with the Constitution. There is a method for changing it- it's called the amendement. Congress cannot bypass that.

Rush is correct.

There's other ways of attacking this - such as voting MONTHS rather than days.

Also, we could go back to the States picking the senators and the electoral college picking the Predident.

This law is a sleeper - aimed at helping the Dem's and their lies.

[Texaggie79]

smear the queer!!!!!

[Bogie]

LOL!!!

Jim, you are truly "choice."

[Inge_CAV]

Nita you will have to quit asking _Jim tough questions. Ie; "How do you get a grown woman to roll her window down late at night so you may throw a containor of accellerant inside her car?"

_Jim has gone off the deep end while trying to think of an answer.

: )

[RAT Patrol]

ROTFL! Good job at exposing the lunacy of this legislation.

[abner]

"Freedom's just another word for nothing else to do!"

I thought it was nothin' left to lose.

[_Jim]

That too!

[_Jim]

such as voting MONTHS rather than days.

Hear Hear!

[abner]

Yea!

[michigander]

• And since that pesky freedom of religion thingy is in that fist amendment too, how about (as an example) no mention of Jesus 30 days before Easter and 60 days before Christmas. From now on you can only refer to religion in a general sense without mentioning a specific savior or icon by name within those time periods before "religious holidays" no matter what you believe.

[river rat]

Damn _Jim, perhaps you're right!

If we gave those bastards in Washington MORE rope, they might finally infruriate enough Americans that it would kick off armed rev........
Never mind, forget I almost said that.
