Oh wow Dean, I didn't endorse the other extreme! I would not wish the Italian system on y'all! Now as for the free market bit sure, but as was pointed out you need the big bucks to get heard.

lol! Sorry, that was a bit harsh, wasn't it.
I am not a fan of the way money drives things, but I am much less a fan or restrictions on free speech. McCain/Feingold is a step in the wrong direction in my book.
