What's your point? People should be able to fund political parties without any limitations, hindrances, or anything of the sort what-so-ever. Furthermore, there should be no public funding of campaigns.
Campaign finance reform has always been a huge failure as far as its stated aims go. As for its unstated aims, they should be obvious: congressional Democrats enacted it in order to lower the huge cash gap between the two parties. And that's just plain dirty politics; no one should be able to hinder my ability to support candidates, even if I support ones who would give me a piece of the pork. After all, Democrats have the right to target minority votes with Affirmative Action, so why shouldn't Republicans get to target money from industry with promises of cutting back taxes? Now, granted, I don't like subsidies going to anyone, but I sure as hell don't want the Democrats to be able to fuck over the Republican's strength from a realistic point of view.
