The United States Supreme Court got it right--the First Amendment exists.
The President last night lied, again. The Court decision did not end the ban on foreign corporations donating to American campaigns. But, Obama lies about everything. he is the Jon Lovitz of politics.
But, Skelton of the Times, maybe it is his age and ability to now tell the truth, has told the truth about campaign financing:
"Maybe it's time -- time to junk all the political campaign contribution limits with their jumbo loopholes. Just give it up.
In many ways, the restrictions are useless and counterproductive, driving contributions underground and often through the laundry room.
Perhaps we should allow each candidate free rein to raise -- in bright sunlight -- whatever amount is possible from any source, but require that the money be immediately reported to the public. Faster, fuller disclosure -- maybe that's the only feasible way to confront the corrupting influence of political money."
Immediate transparency of donations, not limitation for free speech, is the way to make politics a more honest endeavor. Glad that Skelton has joined the GOP and the Tea Parties on this issue.
