Barrett, however, did face these restrictions. [url=http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-57448678-503544/a-record-amount-of-money-spent-on-wisconsin-recall/]CBS News[/url] reports that Scott Walker got $500,000 from one wealthy individual alone; that's about 12.5% of ALL the money that Barrett got in total.* In our country, where apparently money = speech, the law basically gagged Barrett and gave Walker a bullhorn. *Cue RABBLE RABBLE LIEBERAL MEDIA RABBLE RABBLE EDIT: I don't actually know if this was a loophole or an intentional effect of the law. I'm not sure which is worse. [/QUOTE]
