We just had a gigantic "campaign finance law" passed sponsored by liberal senators Feingold and McCain. What more do you want? George Soros and Media Matters are now tax exempt. Lefties laughed when Al Gore was caught violating election laws and they laughed when democrat John Murtha was deemed the biggest porker in congress. There are laws on the books that regulate lobbyists and donations and campaign funding. Ignorant lefties even suggested that the federal government finance election campaigns and keep those pesky citizens out of the equation. The dirty little secret is that the left has been whining ever since the Supreme Court ruled that "money is speech" and corporations are allowed to donate to politicians they like. We are all lobbyists. We chip in to an organization like the Sierra Club or the NRA or PETA that promises to try to get laws passed. The problem with the whiners is that they like some lobbying efforts but they want to silence others. It's the 1st Amendment stupid, live with it.
