Sure, this coming from the maker of the Mccain Feingold bill. John has taken away from free speech, not enhanced it. This response sounds more like a stump speech then anything else.

That depends on how you see the situation dougfromeagan. I would argue that it is in fact something akin to the communism/capitalism debates of yore. Does money and its spending constitute free speech? Sure, but was the system designed to handle such huge gaps in the ability of people and organizations to finance campaigns? In other words, does the system actually work as designed? I'm sure it did in the beginning when America was described as the most homogeneous of the nations of the "civilized" world. Sorry though, can't remember who said that I just recall it was some French philosopher or some other whatnot. Anyway, basically I'd say the McCain-Feingold bill did indeed enhance free speech in reality even if it wouldn't theoretically.
