Major liberal donors are demonstrating their willingness to fund a new shadow Democratic Party, according to reports filed Friday by a network of nominally independent organizations committed to defeating President George W. Bush in November. Meanwhile, a drive to bar their activities has gained strength.

Wow. If that list passes as a compendium of great victories for limited government the Republic is finished.
But you strike me as a very well meaning and nice person. Let us end this as friends.

That's not how I characterized the list, but okay - let's end this as friends. And yeah, I'm a nice person - and maybe more importantly in a political context, I'm reasonable and not impossible to satisfy. I wish the same for my perpetually disgruntled friends online. ; )

McCain-Feingold was always about the end run, and was designed to squeeze out alternative parties and candidacies.
The only real campaign finance reform is to eliminate all gov't funding of campaigns.
If the coverage is there, these business as usual partisan shill organizations will be ridiculed out of existence, and will undermine their own goal.
Of course, the media is filled with partisan shills...

Take away these millions of lines of Code and retrain these Lobbyist and Attorneys to do something productive, like garbage collection....
Maybe they'll do the jobs that "Americans don't want to do." ;)
