No, I didn't "miss" one of the author's key points. Go back and read my prior posts; especially the one about some regulations being desirable, and in many cases necessary. This shouldn't be a "conservative vs. liberal" issue. All of us should be in favor of better, more responsible governance, and of getting the corrupting influence of money out of politics to the maximum extent possible. In any event, your characterization of the article as "standard liberalism" demonstrates a truly stupefying level of ignorance. You (of all people!) would do yourself a favor by refraining from hurling insults at the intelligence of those with whom you disagree, especially during the course of discussing an issue of which you obviously have no understanding.
Do you seriously have no clue as to why many of us regard you with utter contempt? You habitually come in here and spam the forum with countless redundant threads, often accompanied by loony rants and gratuitous insults. Recently you even extended a middle finger toward others in this forum by defiantly stating that you'll just spam the place with as many redundant threads as you damned well please, and nobody can do anything about it. How charming.
And you seem to inhabit the sort of insular bubble dominated by right-wing bloggers and talk show hosts. Remember all the threads you started about a year ago for the sole purpose of reporting how well Romney's campaign was doing in certain states? You gloated loudly and constantly about his big upcoming "victory." (Oops!) You've continually demonstrated a level of cluelessness that's simply astonishing. You rarely make even a rudimentary effort to comprehend or learn much of anything about anything.
Sadly, the conservative and libertarian sides of this forum's debates are dominated by a handful of C student-types who are far better at annoying and insulting people than they are at offering any cogent arguments.
If you and a couple of other maroons are actually secret progressives on a quest to make conservatives and libertarians look as obnoxious and as stupid as possible, you're doing a helluva job!
