Hard money is increased from $1,000 to $2,000 per donor, per candidate.

OK, so this is doubled. That's a pittance when you consider that the Rats will find other ways to raise money anyway. Do you think the unions won't find a way to get their membership to funnel hard donations now?

Conservatives are being asked to drink this cup of swill and pretend we like it. Why is it always the conservatives that are capitulating?

Actually, it reduces the number of donors significantly. $2000 doesn't sound like much until you write the check. By reducing the number of households that can contribute, CFR has widened the gap between the influencers and the non-influencers.

Notwithstanding the fact that Democrats break every fundraising law every year, and we do nothing to stop them.

The law doesnt' say you have to give $2,000.

How does this law reduce the number of households who can contribute?

Your argument doesn't make any sense.

You are joking, right? You weren't serious when you posted this, were you?
