He's already stated that it was a mistake, it did not work out like he thought it would and that it should be rescinded.

I read somewhere a recent quote from Thompson regarding McCain-Feingold; he all but said the law was a mistake. Then he wondered aloud about scrapping Mc-F and replacing it with a law that lifts campaign contribution limits and requires prompt public contribution disclosure on the internet.

To that, I not only say “Yes!” but “Hell, yes!” The answer to any campaign finance controversy is more freedom, not less. So remove the limits, require instant public disclosure. That way, the voters — and not some weenie incumbents — decide if a particular contribution is a problem.

I’m hoping Fred sticks to this course...it’s a winner.
