You have it right -- you deal with the hand you are dealt and work around the law! People are going off the deep-end once again without thinking!

Plans are in place so people just need to take a deep breath and chill out!

If Pres Bush had vetoed this bill the outcry would have far exceeded any possible gain. Too many glass half full people commenting all the time! You can now give $2000 instead of a $1000 so that was a plus, but guess that doesn't matter.

Damn just Damn....

NRA can't run ads but Anti Gun Lobby can.......

Anti Abortion groups can't run ads but Pro Aborts can...

Yep I understand just perfectly.....

I understand to outrage about the free speach issue. No problem there. It sucks, and I feel it's certainly an attack of free speach!
But this does help our side a lot as far as political money. All donations have to be from individuals. That means anyone. A CEO can hand out donation checks to employees, really. Republicans work, and can send in the cash. The Democrat base is a social parasite, and no way could they dish out $2,000 for a political campain.
Republicans work, so they control the personal money in America. Am I missing something on the donation argument in this issue??

From whom?

In election after election the Democrats never got any traction on CFR. It was a fantasy of the Beltway, the Left, and the Media. That's it.

There would have been no political cost to this veto had the President used it here.

The SCOTUS is out of control. They've been happy to fabricate rationalizations for amending the Constitution on a range of matters, including free speech and the First Amendment, for years. Most campaign finance laws are upheld.

President Bush had an obligation to the Constitution to veto this bill.

It wasn't even the soft money bans that irk me. The only thing that irked be about that bill is the 30/60 day anti-speech clauses and the media exception.

That's unacceptable, a wrong ruling, and is unworthy of being followed.
