Michael Silence has an article about Tennessee bloggers on the "incumbent protection act."
(It's curious that this doesn't get much play in the lefty blogosphere. Are we not supposed to be concerned about this? Seems like it could help Republicans more than Democrats this time around. On the other hand, the GOP has taken the art of attack ads to a new level and the Dems are still on training wheels. And I suppose the right-wing would like to make every House and Senate race about Hillary. I guess I didn't get the memo from Overlord Kos, so I don't know what the talking points are supposed to be. Either way, it seems unconstitutional to me.)

How
How is that this alters the landscape of secret candidate coordiantion and hidden campaign dollars funding broadcast commercials, such as those in use for several election cycles by the "527" groups?
I can see this limits how some groups and candidates can legally spend money on advertising, but does it limit the speech of news reports, editorials, bloggers, etc?

I'm curious about the left's reaction to it as well, and I applaud yours.
But (you knew that was coming) have they ever seen something they don't want regulated by the .gov? I mean other than abortion.

I just made a bag of popcorn and look forward to a good metulj vs. Uncle dog fight. Better than a movie and cheaper too.

Nah, no ripping. He'll just throw out lame non-sequiturs (see, he already started) and I'll be a smart ass. I'll eventually get bored and stop reading.

Non sequitur has more
Non sequitur has more meanings than the definition as it pertains to logic/philisophical hooey. I suggest you learn those other meanings. I guess you didn't since you brought up guns, again.
I'm aware that many jobs are regulated. But the right to speech, arms, and, well, those others enumerated in the constitution should not be regulated to the point of stifling those rights.

More like a fallacy. Since you seem to be up on all that hooey, I figured you'd know that.
Zzzzzzzzzz
non sequitur also happens to mean:
I suppose you'll tell me that 'bear' is only a four-legged, omnivourous critter and can't also mean 'support'?

But you are speaking
I wasn't speaking, I was typing. Your comment was noted due to its lack of meaning relative to the comment it follows.
You're the one that ripped off Izzard, not me. Hence, me not taking your initial comment seriously.
Zzzzzzz. Bear has more than one meaning as does non sequitur.
Your statement relied on its own presupposition (i.e., being a doctor is expression). I'm not up on all that hooey, but I think that's called circular logic or begging the question. I'm sure you, with your knowledge of the hooey, will set me straight or tell me that I can't read or something. The fact you qualified the statement with the phrase 'logical leap' implies that it's, err, quite a leap.

'I refer the gentleman to
And that has exactly what to do with the logical progression of our discussion? If you were referencing said comment, then I'd recommend quoting it.
Then why did you use the question mark:
Seems you were asking to me.
Yes. Bear can also be appropriately described as a word that has the same spelling as another. It's a homograph, iirc. If I write bear, you are left to determine based on its context whether I mean the animal or some other meaning. If I walked down the street yelling 'bear', you'd have no idea what i meant but i'd recommend you look around for the four-legged variety so as not to get your doritos stolen. Ditto for non sequitur. I meant non sequitur in the a reply that has no relevance to what preceded it. You know, those other definitions of a phrase/word may have that I've mentioned before. Or, if you like, two different phrases that happen to be spelled the same and have different meanings. It might even be a homograph too, were it not a phrase.
I did. At least twice now.
I chose abortion for a very specific and pointed reason. I don't think that reason is lost on you. And, of course, it was intended to be a bit humorous.
Pot, kettle.
Anyhoo, I tried to engage you. But you seem more content to throw around the hooey you must have learned on your high school debate team, or some such. And playing silly little semantic games, which I guess you learned from getting kicked out of school. So tiring and very little reward, other than watching you get your knickers in twist.
