In the past couple of months, the public has been assaulted with an endless stream of propaganda regarding the merits of campaign finance reform legislation. Despite the rhetoric, McCain-Feingold is not a panacea that will cure all the ills of Washington. Moreover, the legislation will compound the problem and ensure the perpetuity of the perpetrators. In what masquerades as modern political debate, the informed citizen must not accept the pabulum that is routinely spoon-fed to him by the politicians and the media.
Discretion also requires the voter to challenge the conventional wisdom.
And that takes a courage borne of enlightenment. On my weekly radio show, I often present the listeners with a series of questions that will allow them to correctly reach their own conclusions on the serious issues of the day.
