McCain Feingold - a total joke?

[zachman]

I support restricting financial contributions to individuals only, and banning all radio, television, and pop-up political ads.

I hope McCain and Feingold keep fighting for changes.

Television ads are bad for the system.

Television ads are where candidates effect the most typical audience. Voters shouldn't be persuaded by television ads on how to vote. Pop-up internet political ads are fair but can be the harshest attacks.

Yes, campaign finance reform restricts freedom of speech, but that is not a bad thing. Television advertising makes the most politically uneducated make decisions, and that is bad for democracy. Getting rid of television advertising would drasticly lower the production budget of campaigns.

Freedom from paid propaganda on the television is a worthwhile goal.
