Sorry, Bush is on the high ground here and they cannot truthfully tie him to the Swift Boat Ads.........
That's not the point I and the poster I responded to was trying to make. The point was that Bush's position of being against 527's and stating that only the parties should be making adverts is not a good position to take. It is an anti-free speech position. I think anybody should be able to produce adverts attacking or promoting Bush or Kerry. Whether they be freepers, SwiftboatVets or maggot infested commies. Free speech.
I am against McCain/Feingold. I think real campaign reform would be to allow any amount of spending by anyone whether they be a party, corporation, union, freeper, or commie maggot group, just have "full and immediate" public disclosure of all contributors. I also think Congressional candidates should be verboten to take any contributions from outside their State. I think any candidate who takes a contribution from a furrinor should be tarred and feathered and hung. I basically back the Buchanan proposal from the 1992 campaign.
