OGTEleven Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 What does McCain Feingold prevent in this election cycle that was allowed last time around? I'm just curious if anyone can give me a quick summary. I don't want to read 46 pages about it. I'll appreciate any serious responses. Thanks.

OGTEleven Posted October 27, 2004 Author Posted October 27, 2004 http://www.brookings.org/gs/cf/debate/MF_summary.htm 88040[/snapback] no labor or corporate contributions are permitted. This soft-money ban is the bedrock of the McCain-Feingold bill. To me that says a candidate must pay for their advertisements and not have them paid for by a corporation. Viacom (owner of VH1, MTV, etc.) charges for air time. This must mean the Kerry campaign has paid for the "video" advertisement by the group "Vote for Change" that they keep running. It's neat. They made it look just like a video with the credits at the beginning and end, etc. All sorts of cool people like REM, Springsteen, the Dixie Chicks and Daryl Hannah's favorite assailant are in it. To think that this has been legally paid for by Kerry. How clever. (Smiley used at the request of BiB)
