McCain Feingold didn't really cripple the ability of wealthy individuals to spend their own money advocating for candidates.
What it essentially did was cripple the ability of non wealthy individuals to organize and pool their money for greater effect. I know I have no ability to effectively advocate for my beliefs because I don't have the resources. But everyone gives a little and pretty soon we have enough to effectively advocate.
I agree with this decision. Groups on both sides of the spectrum should be allowed to advocate their causes.
