"This "campaign-finance reform" bill is all about keeping left-wing incumbents in power while squashing the voices of grass-roots conservative and groups."

I believe you will find that the "media" is much less effective than believed. The American voter (the ones who actually vote) know all they need to know well in advance of the 60 day cutoff period. The trash advertisements that now come are really a period of disinformation. That doesn't serve democracy very well.

No, its people like you who don't serve democracy very well. Who decides whats trash and whats truth, you or the government?

You are so misguided, it would be funny if it weren't so sad. The words "Congress shall make no law..." are clear, its just that people like you don't give a crap.

Uh, Mr Jefferson, Richard W. says you're a wing nut because you think the idea of submitting political speech to the government for pre approval is the road toward totalitarianism.

Mr Jefferson: #$$%^%#@$%^^

How can the American voter know all they need to know before the 60-day cutoff period if politicians can wait until after that period starts before raping conservatives?

How about combining that 60-day cutoff period with a 90-day cutoff period for politicians passing any new legislation to ensure that there's a 30-day window during which any new legislation can be made known to the public?
