It has been said that the Internet, and specifically blogs, are to politics what Sam Colt’s Peacemaker was to the Wild West; an equalizer. That sentiment has apparently been taken to heart by the US Federal Election Commission because, like today’s gun…

I remember when people were talking about the McCain-Feingold bill. Those of us who were still interested in the United States Constitution said, “There is no way that is going to pass, it is clearly Un-Constitutional” It was obvious to…

RightWing Nuthouse has a great post about a fellow blogger who thinks the FEC trying to apply the travesty known as McCain-Feingold to the blogosphere isn’t really that big of a deal.Please note the phrase “create equality” as if the purpose of the FEC…

Lot’s more out there today on this issue. As I’ve expressed HERE and HERE, the so-called reform was nothing of the sort…but I digress. Anyway, more good analysis: – Captain’s Quarters…after McCain & Co. says “trust us”. – Signposts talks…

This is the official word from Senator Feingold on the FEC fiasco: As the primary Senate authors of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002, we have spent years fighting to clean up elections and ensure that powerful monied interests…

Certainly sounds so, although it would be good for them to close down any loop holes that arise (enough of us are already worrying as it is about being shut down).

Michelle Malkin links to a statement from Russ Feingold: “THERE IS NO REASON TO THINK THE FEC SHOULD OR INTENDS TO REGULATE BLOGS”…

John McCain, like far too many politicians, enjoys telling others what to do. And as his efforts to promote “campaign finance reform” show, he also enjoys telling others what they may, or may not, say, and how they may say…
