True, but this President isn't even taking a "popular" stand.
Nobody cares about Campaign Finance Reform, as John McCain found
when he made it the focus of his campaign.

Bush is supporting this tyrannical measure because he wants to limit our ability
to effectively fight the un-Constitutional actions of our government.

Oh BS. Bush is supporting this to avoid the heat that Rats and the media would hit him with and at the same time takes an issue away fromt he Dems that he is too pro-buiness/anti-reform.

Actually I really think it is more about politics.. IMHO, President Bush see's this as a polical victory to maintain an "image" of "compromise" with the Democrats.. However on matters of clearly established constitutional principles (Freedom of Speech) there should be NO COMPROMISE, even it were "unpopular"...
