I've never supported too much 'self-regulation'. Personally, I think it's a road to hell. While I am sure that the Democrats would love to see 'self regulation' for congress...they, along with the Republican, have proved consistently that they cannot be trusted.
I'm all for getting corporate funding out of our system... as long as that includes the unions, and other 'community' based funders too. But I know the Democrats too well to believe that this bill would be yet another clusterfuck that benefits them and them alone.
I get it, you are attacking because Democrats proposed this while contradicting yourself.
I'm attacking you for being a moron. That's reasonable. You read an article and post it and it.... without even bothering to find out what's in the bill. How fucking stupid is that?

Caligirl has only one response to every post she disagrees with on this board: "You must be a Stupid F'n Moron", or something close to that. Caligirl has yet to ever offer an intelligent response. She is the self anointed AD Hominem Queen on this Message Board.
Stopping money and speech isn't the solution.
TERM LIMITS ARE
The chance of passage is about zero. Corporate and special interest groups would never allow such an amendment to pass. I think Congress spends way too much time and effort trying to make political statements with legislation that has no chance of passage.Senate Democrats propose to amend the Constitution to keep corporate money out of campaigns - Yahoo!

Why not? I think its a great idea.

How the hell anyone can say it's a 'great idea' when they clearly haven't read the damned bill is beyond me. It might be an idea if people learned to investigate what they're supporting before they support it. The OP is a dumbass.
And what makes you think people haven't read the bill?
I referred to the OP, idiot, not 'people'. The OP has a history of regurgitating crap and agreeing with it simply because it is from the Dems. He's an idiot.
I certainly hope you are correct but I am very pessimistic about the chance of passage of any legislation that would reduce the power that corporations and special interest groups have on our government. This should be the most important issue for every voter.The chance of passage is about zero. Corporate and special interest groups would never allow such an amendment to pass.

Campaign finance laws have been passed by the Congress. I see no reason why this one can't pass as well. With enough "let the people decide through the state legislatures" pressure I think it could be passed out of Congress at least. Though, I think it would stand a better chance of passing if it was given a 10 year expiration, instead of 7 years.
Stopping money and speech isn't the solution.
TERM LIMITS ARE
While I support term limits, I don't think that that will really do anything to address the concerns of special interest financing of campaigns. In any event, and at the risk of derailing on a tangent, what kind of term limit structure would you propose?
