How can the American voter know all they need to know before the 60-day cutoff period if politicians can wait until after that period starts before raping conservatives?
How about combining that 60-day cutoff period with a 90-day cutoff period for politicians passing any new legislation to ensure that there's a 30-day window during which any new legislation can be made known to the public?
I don't buy this argument. The liberals are screaming that they will be screwed. Since both are saying essentially the same thing it looks like a good piece of legislation. This notion that the "liberal media" controls the public mood is a fiction. Dan Rather and his ilk are known for their bias and the American public knows it. Anything they are for I am against and vice-versa.
What I do know is that sewer money is influencing elections well beyond the voter base of the congressional districts. Only the well-heeled and primarily one-issue groups are heard. Additionally, the advertisements are designed to obscure the origin of the backers and manipulate the facts regarding the candidates true views. The average voter is left holding the bag. Everyone knows this down deep. Money = election victory.
