All Bush needs to do is call a press conference and announce that "My oppenent was for 527 ads before he was against them. His silence during the 62 million dollars worth of ads broadcast against me by 527 groups contrasts sharply to his outbursts of the last two days against ads targeting him. My position has been consistent and clear throughout. I hope Senator Kerry will join me in rejecting all 527 ads."

I agree that Kerry is again shown to be a flip-flopper.

But, why is it acceptable for President Bush to be against "all 527" ads? Don't we have a right to make our voices heard? Or should the TV and Radio and Print media be the only ones allowed to discuss important issues?

Because he care more about his election than the good of the country, why else would he sign the campaign-finance law in the first place.

(why give Kennedy his Education bill; why give us the Medicare drug bill; why dramatically increase the size of the non-military government; why . . .)

Being "against" 527s is rhetoric on Mr. Bush's part. He is setting the stage for a complete overhaul/repeal of the CFR. He is gently demonstrating that McCain stepped in it big time, all the while maintaining McCain in the Republican camp.

Someone now needs to ask McCain if he likes being used as a propaganda prop by the Democrat party.

Good point. It isn't acceptable. Bush should STFU on 527's. He signed the damn bill. There I said it.
