The chicken littles of conservatism are as nuts as the left wing looney left.

Sorry, but conservatives have a right to be nuts.

This "campaign-finance reform" bill is all about keeping left-wing incumbents in power while squashing the voices of grass-roots conservative and groups.

The problem that no one is addressing is the campaign limits themselves. Candidates should be able to raise as much money as they feel like it so as long as there's full disclosure and none of the money is from foreign sources.

Actually the WSJ in April said just the opposite. Seems that Bush raised $100 million in "hard money" far more than the democrats. They seemed it would actually benefit the Republicans more than the Democrats. They didn't believe it was constitutional. I think the Supremes will come down somewhere in the middle.
