We have got to fumigate America. We need to keep a few communists around to remind us of their stupidity but, right now, there are way too many communists here.

This was the kind of issue that ultimately led the USSC to scuttle virtually the entire McShame Campaign Finance Reform act. It was infringing on what could be said in books. If you can’t censor books then it’s only fair that you can’t censor book ads either.

Somebody who voted for the original Bush bank bailout.

Be that as it may, this was peanuts compared to what the Bummer flushed down the toilet so as not to be outdone.

Promoting a book is a campaign donation? The Democrats can’t even think straight, and they want us to listen to them?

Did this same nonsense occur when the Federalist Papers were published, articles endorsing ratification of the U.S. Constitution? Did the anti-Constitutionists protest against the publishers of such writings? What a bunch of bunk!

I still have that original issue, which is why I remembered it. At the time, the media (like in 2008) was in complete ‘over-drive’ to get these two clowns elected over Bush ‘41.
