thanks to theHouse for bringing the McCain/Feingold Campaign Finance Reform Bill once again to my attention…
Now there is something republicans can be proud of… and i am not being facetious at all.
They managed to edit a bill that would actually reform the way soft money was used in elections and create a bill that busted the political power of unions…
and John McCain gets the image of a maverick going against the best interests of his party… LOL … while… in case you are wondering… John McCain is on record stating what a great deal it was for his party…
that was a great deal for the Republican political machine…. because as a bonus, they effectively busted unions in the United States.. It was a two-fer!
But did it achieve it’s stated goals?
There is more special interest soft money in the election process now than there was before the bill… and they are regulated less…
Pac money has become bundled money.. but it hasn’t been limited at all.
That bill was great PR for both the Republican party and for John McCain.. but it’s title is a complete contradiction in terms…
yup.. something Republicans can be proud of…
fit’s right in with the party ethic…
all for us and none for them:)
