[E.G.C.]

I have read all about this issue and I know a whole lot more than you think I do.

And as to your comments about the first amendment, obviously you don't know diddly squat about it.

CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAW ABRIDGING THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH!!!!!!

That part of the first amendment was violated with the passage of this law and this outrage has been upheld by these sorry lazy miserable good for nothing goons in black robes.

Read up on the first amendment. I know a lot more about it than you think.

This bill isn't what you think it is.

I only respond to what you say not what you think you know.

Congress changed nothing with this law but the ability of candidates to use attack ads funded through soft money within the 30/60 day period prior to the election. The SAME ad with the SAME content can be run at ANY time if funded through hard money. This is a trivial change and only the stupidest candidates will be hurt by it. Certainly it is nothing to justify the hysteria generated here by the perpetually outraged.

Congress has abridged free speech in many cases and that is why you don't see Al Queda recruiters openly recruiting members in the USA and why the German Bund was destroyed during WWII. YOu don't seriously think this was un-constitutional do you.
