Well I am working on the Alren Specter angle in Pa, by voting for Toomey. I hope we get rid the RINO soon. We need more Conservative Representatives. Lets start pushing for that and see what George Bush does.
I wonder if he would have signed it if the Supreme court had found it unconstitutional? I think we need to make our voices herad about this, but I am not so sure that President Bush had much of a choice on this one.

Bull. The partial-birth abortion ban was at least one bill that was more politically risky than this.... but Bush signed it.
Campaign-finance reform wasn't an issue with anybody outside of the New York Times newsroom. Bush would have lost nothing, politically, by vetoing the damned thing immediately. But Karl Rove convinced him otherwise -- don't worry, Karl assured him, the Supremes will surely save America's ass on this -- and the insane strategy has just blown up in his face, and ours.
Of all the names listed above, I consider Bush the most responsible for foisting this atrocity upon us. I expect congressmen and senators to be idiots, but I didn't expect George W. Bush to play political football with the First Amendment, especially over such a non-issue. The buck has got to stop with him on this, and unless some miracle takes place, CFR will be Bush's most damaging domestic legacy.

Candidate Bush repeatedly promised that he would NEVER sign McCain Feingold. He PROMISED a veto. Flat out promised. Then he went right ahead and signed the damned thing. He needs to hear, in an overwhelming volume, just how p.o.'d we are. P.O.'d at him, Congress and all the so-called conservative pundits and Freepers who told those of us alarmed by the passage of CFR, and then outraged at W's signing of it, to sit down and shut up...the Supreme Court would fix everything. Well they sure fixed everything alright!
