We are going to hear a lot more about "America Votes".

Click here to see the slime that supports this "Non-partisan", "not-for-profit", "bring Americans to third world status" organization.





In thirty years will all debates be decided by who is wearing the biggest suicide bomb vest, or shall we kill them off now?

The campaign finance reform was and is a joke, There isnt enough putty in the world to close off every loophole. Money will find a way to buy into politics and the Dems claim to be for the poor man are crap, they are into it for the money like everyone else.

This article explains why Bush signed McCain-Feingold. He traded the heart of the First Amendment for short-term political advantage. Bush is doing a good job on the war. But the rest of his agenda sucks. We probably ought to see that he gets re-elected. But as citizens of the Republic we should take this as a lesson. No politician deserves our trust. Few are even worthy of respect. It was said long ago and it is still true today.

McCain Fiegold was a Cluster Fornication of Unlawful Carnal Knowledge, and the Supeme's made it the (final) law of the land.

Get Congress in there infinite wisdom creates the "527's" to skirt the issue.

McCain go got all wrong, we didn't need campaign finance reform. What we needed either a Flat Tax or National Sales tax because all the special interest on "K" Street go after what they want via legislation and that usually means getting Congress to write into law some benefit to them and that means in the Tax Code.

Take away these millions of lines of Code and retrain these Lobbyist and Attorneys to do something productive, like garbage collection....

And while I am are at it, Give Congress the same 5 year vesting period under ERISA and the same Defined Benefit Plans as those in the private sector (if you are lucky enough to have one at your workplace), also make them pay Social Security taxes, Talk about instant term-limits, he he.....

The vital thing about this article is that it shows what's probably the only way to defeat CFR--make it really hurt the DemonRats and RINOs who supported it. If the FEC prohibits the DemonRats' 527 organizations from doing what they're trying to do, the DemonRats will really howl. When the Special Counsel was inteptly attacking the Sink Emperor the DemonRats suddenly discovered the extreme disadvantages of the Special Counsel Law. Poof, no more Special Counsel Law. The same thing will happen to CFR if we really push envorcement against the DemonRats.

All the same Democrat scumbags who were all for "campaign finance reform" are now doing everything they can to circumvent the law. Surprise, surprise. No way would there be any kind of "investigation" if the scumbags had the White House. Now, if some of these scumbags have to pay big fines and/or go to jail, I'll be convinced that the GOP is serious.
