Flashback, 1994: Romney goes all-in on campaign finance reform

This is Mitt Romney at a press conference during his 1994 U.S. Senate campaign, answering a question about lobbyists and the influence of money in politics.

It’s bad enough that Romneycare inspired Obamacare. Now it appears that Mittens helped lay the groundwork (at least rhetorically) for what would eventually become the McCain-Feingold bill – an utter failure that was ruled mostly unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 2010.

And remember, this is one of the two most conservative candidates in the GOP field, supposedly.
