Considering that CFR is hurting the dems more than the pubbies, things could be worse.

Sort of, alot of the democrats are whining about John Edwards and the law firms violating campaign financing laws.

Long story short, lawyers are making large donations, but they are doing in them in the names of everyone they know, including secretary's, clerks, and even clients. In these cases, the person who has the donation in there name, gets reimbursed, and some of them are dragged to fundraisers.

He's already been caught twice for violations, each time, he has given back something like the 10 g's that he ill gottenly recieved.

I know Kerry, Dean and Gephardt were pretty mad about it, in both cases, the person that the lawyer made the donation in the name of and gave a re-imbursement back to, was also a democrat who supported a different canidate.

Sorry! Don't agree!!

The dems will simply ignore it.

It is designed to hurt the republicans. [to wit] Money from organizations such as the NRA and the pro life movement.

As stated above and as they do all laws that hinder their agenda [the complete and total destruction of the United States] the democrats and their contributors will simply ignore the law.

You know what I think about this. I think (Censored by the USSC) and that candidates for office like (Censored by the USSC) should not be allowed to (Censored by the USSC). Nor should the other parties (Censored by the USSC) take advantage of those of us on boards like FR to speak our minds by (Censored by the USSC). In fact I think FR is (Censored by the USSC) way that we have any hope left to (Censored by the USSC). It's a (Censored by the USSC) that (Censored by the USSC) can do what these (Censored by the USSC) retentive groups like (Censored by the USSC) to honest Constitutinalists like (Censored by the USSC) (Censored by the USSC) (Censored by the USSC) (Censored by the USSC). Sigh. I guess from now on, we'll only be allowed to talk about the weather.

"Constitutinalists" = Constitutionalists

I was so (Censored by the USSC) (Censored by the USSC) (Censored by the USSC) (Censored by the USSC) damn flabergassed by this (Censored by the USSC) (Censored by the USSC) decision I couldn't think straight.

I'm kind of surprised liberal activists aren't raising as much of a stink. McCain-Feingold aka The Media's Political Views Empowerment Act also bestows the same influence on banes of liberal existence like Limbaugh-Hannity-Savage-O'Reilly.

They think that it's just Limbaugh and the audio-only Hannity/Savage that they have to worry about. They haven't quite acknowledged that we've got our feet in the door of TV.

Has there been any more talk about a conservative challenging the McCainiac in the GOP primary next year? Guess that's just wishful thinking.

So, those who thought the Supreme Court would rescue the cowardly Congress on "campaign finance reform" have been refuted AGAIN???

This supreme court ruling is simply confirming an old old law. This has nothing to do with campaign finance law just passed. Please inform yourself before you get upset.
