This is the key to constitutional Campaign Finance Reform. Taking away soft money, as written in the McCain-Feingold bill, would eliminate all soft money but allow one major loophole. It would allow the Unions to donate unregulated with their members money. McCain-Feingold would take away all the resources of the Republican Party and leave the Democrats with their greatest ally intact. The Democrats also have their entitlement programs, which are essentially buying votes with our tax money.
Compassion is merely a sales tool.
Second, money removed from election leaves the News Media as the SOLE deciders of elections. Need I say which side of the political spectrum is favored by the news media. Incumbents would also have huge advantages. This is unconstitutional. The peoples right to free speech and right to assemble are being infringed upon with campaign finance restrictions.
