Why McCain-Feingold should be repealed ...
I hate to use base vernacular, but the McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance Act is complete and utter crap. Here's proof:
"It looks like John McCain has a little explaining to do to the NASCAR set.
"Kirk Shelmerdine - one of the greatest pit-crew chiefs ever, most famously for the late Dale Earnhardt, Sr. - is today engaged in a less-successful second career as a driver. But to the Federal Election Commission, he's just a reckless campaign-finance law violator.
"The day after Christmas, the FEC announced that it was sending Shelmerdine a 'letter of admonishment' for his actions during the 2004 presidential campaign - namely, putting a 'Bush/Cheney '04' decal on a panel of his car for a total of four races."
