Campaign finance reform is stupid. It is a bad idea that grew legs decades ago and is now running amuck through the first amendment.

Better to let anybody anywhere give anything, in any amount to anybody and provide huge fines and jail time for violators of full and complete and timely disclosure.

Thus, if George Soros wanted to give a billion to Kerry, or if a Saudi Prince wants to give Bush a million barrel oil concession--no problem, just report it immediately. Let voters decide if the donation is important.

The current system fails in what it attempts to accomplish--take money out of the system. The thought that you could take money out of a capitalist system is ludicrous. Only a politician would be able to promote that as a viable concept.
