funny. the content or caliber of my speech obviously doesn't matter to you, implying other people are immature or childish is clearly your "go-to" tactic.
just to be clear, you haven't described anything about commerce. you've described banning speech. you COMPLAINED about the commerce, or more accurately the amount of money involved in it, and you've COMPLAINED about the content (the lies) but you then used that as a justification to ban the speech, not the commerce. require ads to be free, or not over a certain amount, or half-paid by the government, etc. that would address the commerce without banning speech.
i find it very amusing that you're so defensive and high-and-mighty about your right to make a political speech about squelching political speech. and you also can't seem to abide by my posts. interesting.
my other thread, you tell me i shouldn't have posted it and just let the grownups talk.
in this thread, you don't like my arguments, so you say i should practice self control and let the reasonable adults talk.
and in your o.p., you don't like political ads, so your solution is to ban them all.
i sense a pattern....

i can't believe this is even a topic for debate. do you SERIOUSLY think our founders wanted that?

The First Amendment is always frustrating to those who wish to limit free speech.
