Next thing we know...Johnny will be advocating a McCain/Soros in 08 ticket...

Life after Television
Television is a tool of tyrants. Its overthrow will be a major force for freedom and individuality, culture and morality. That overthrow is at hand. p 49
I agree -- we should be able to fight fire with fire and use the 527's the way the dems do.
Unfortunately, no Republican is willing to fund a 527 because the laws are so vague (as in, "freedom for me, but not for thee") and the penalties so severe that getting involved with one is a sure ticket to being lawyered into bankruptcy.
Correct. We don't need any more reasons to fight McCain tooth and nail for the nomination, but yet another -- a big one -- never hurts.
I suspect your suspicions are correct. See Curt Weldon election for futher proof.
Outstanding article by Rabbi Aryeh Spero. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for the pic c_I_c, and your terrific input.
BTTT!

Yes, what they did to Weldon, and who they chose to do it, is what made me start looking into Altmire.
Unfortunately, no Republican is willing to fund a 527 because the laws are so vague (as in, "freedom for me, but not for thee") and the penalties so severe that getting involved with one is a sure ticket to being lawyered into bankruptcy.Do you have a link to an article that spells all this out? I'd like to read more about these penalties and vague laws.
Here's a chart from OpenSecrets that (sort of) breaks it down.
I'll do some more looking tomorrow.
I would love to form a 527 of my own, but back before CFR even starting a PAC was difficult. I shudder to think what the IRS requirements are (maybe I'll Google that tomorrow, too).
Don't forget that political correctness completely stifles the idea you present. This is a very repressive nation we live in today. The sharks are ready to jump the minute they are offended or sense that their secular Stalinist religion has been breached.
Rush Limbaugh was sent packing from commenting on football because he dared mention that the NFL promotes black quarterbacks. It's very very bad. No show like you suggest would survive two weeks on the air.

Soros and McCain had nothing to do with bashing Mel Gibson for the 'Passion'.
The constant regurgitation of 'priest accusations' and attacks on the Boy Scouts tells me there's are bigger villains.
The ACLU, Hollywood and the MSM to name a few.
