This is so worth repeating........


FR is fair and balanced.

FReepers post news items 'fairly' often and other FReepers on 'balance' mock those news stories.


Personally I read FR not just for information but those one liner or one word replies that make you spew coffee all over the place and the pets jump.

This argument would not just free up soft money but individual contributions direct to the campaign. Should the SC ever take this (really logical) position it sure would make the individual large donor more important. That would make for very interesting politics.
Yes. For example, the 1968 Eugene McCarthy bid for the Democratic Presidential nomination was, IIRC, essentially funded by a single large donation. That could not be replicated under "campaign finance reform."

The great thing about blogs is that there's about four bloggers for each blog reader.  It's not at all a case of the vast majority of people shouting into an empty abyss. 

I myself, am starting a blog on blogging.  I'll call it Bloggy McBlogger.
