Huh? So, you support the current "hard money" restriction of $1,000, believe its Constitutional, and believe the President violated his oath and the Constitution by not vetoing a bill to increase that limit to $2,000, right????

There should be no limits whatsoever.

The way to eliminate graft and corruption in government, is to eliminate the extra-constitutional influence that legislators and executive officials have to begin with. If we put the federal government back in the constitutional cage the founders crafted for it, then these bastards wouldn't have any influence to peddle (and corruption would be a thing of the past).

No limits on our rights are necessary.

Yes......... Well said. If only everyone understood this simple concept. Gov't. was never meant to have this kind of control over our lives.

No limits on our rights are necessary. Agree!

See, now Your doing the Alan Keyes thing...(Making Sense...)

Yes, if we could get these bastrads out of the influence peddling business, we wouldn't have sane rational people like me, arguing with raging gross hyperbolists.....

As usual, we agree on the ends....I can dig that.

Isn't that the most amazing thing?
We're told that we can't spend money in support of an issue or candidate because politicans can't control themselves and might be corrupted.

It almost makes one want to become a con artist. People will fall for anything....
