Although Browne said the event did not appear to generate much publicity...

So do you support CFR? Do you think it should be illegal to criticize an incumbent within 60 days of an election?

Not a big Harry fan.

Harry Browne is just pointing out that equality under the law doesn't apply to running for office. The people setting the rules have rigged the game. I notice you didn't touch the subject of his argument: "[You are] trying to make the campaign finance laws more equitable and more efficient; but the people who actually write the laws have no such motives. All they want is to assure that the laws help them get re-elected."

How would you feel, if when the Democrats seized control of Congress, they crafted the campaign laws in such a way as to compel Republicans to meet different, more difficult, standards to put their candidates on the ballot?

Harry Browne seems to think that, if the Campaign Finance Laws were just more liberal, more Americans would vote for a blame-America-first jerkweed like him.

Guess what, Harry. You blew any tiny chance at anything when you blamed this country for 9/11.

You're a cartoon.

I despise the extra-governmental two-party system and their power plays.

But when I look at what we have for "third" parties, I can understand why the GOP and their nemisis feel it's best to defend one's status.

Harry is right. And John McCain should be forever ashamed for his part in this.
