Quote:You feel that you should only be able to donate to political campaigns of people that directly represent you, under penalty of being a felon otherwise. You feel that donating money to political campaigns is not "free speech". Barring people from donating to someone who doesn't represent them....or barring representatives from receiving money from people who they don't represent. ...and the difference is what...? The outcome is the same -- the representatives wouldn't receive money from people they don't represent. Quote:Repeating a lie does not make it true and is a dishonest tactic. I can and will put a stop to that. I apologize; in my mind, there's almost no difference between what you said and what I said. They both accomplish the same thing but go about it a slightly different way. To me, it is the same as barring the sales of ammo so that people can't shoot their guns, rather than just flat outlawing guns. Both of them would essentially accomplish the same thing, just as in both cases described above. edit: I will freely admit I was wrong on the felon issue, I thought you were saying that the citizens donating to people who don't represent them should be felons, rather than the representatives themselves.
