Campaign finance laws are structured to prevent any outside parties from gaining influence.

The standard response of crybabies everywhere. "WAAH! The system's not giving me everything I want on a silver platter! WAAH! It's rigged! WAAH!"

Will someone tell that overgrown mama's boy Badnarik to grow up?

For one thing I am not Badnarik.
Again, I am NOT saying the system should give anything to the LP that it does not give to the GOP or the DNC.
READ CLOSELY!
I have said over and again, the Federal Government should NOT be handing out MY money(and,by the way,YOUR money too) for the purpose of campaigning for public office.
To ANYONE.
Is there something about this idea that makes you so angry?
Or are you just that obsessed with anti-LP rhetoric?

On the McCain/Feingold campaign finance reform, wasn't the bill brought before the U.S. Supreme Court, but McCain asked them to put it aside before ruling on its constitutionality - till after the 2004 election?

As I recall, one of the main points of this bill was to keep candidates' ads off of t.v./radio 60 days before the election. Right?

If so, isn't that a violation of the 1st Amendment - won't such a law tend to prevent minor parties from voicing their opinions? As it is, we haven't heard anything in Arizona on any other 3rd party than Nader and the Greens.

Also what conservatives sound like when they whine about liberal media bias.

WAAH WAAH! The media's so liberal! Hollywood actors are so liberal! They're not saying nice things about Bush! It's not fair! WAAAAAAH!
