" They're "NITS" -- "Naysaying Ivory Tower Snipers," always shooting from their ideological ivory towers at allies in the trenches who are doing the heavy work of turning back the incarnate evil that is the leftist Democrat Party."
Do you remember the howling and outrage,when President Bush announced that we were sending a small contingent of Marines to Liberia? There were quite a few FReepers who announced that was the final straw and they would never vote Republican again. Tom Brokaw just said on the Nightly News that today's ruling helps one man and one man, alone-George Bush.
For once, Tom Brokaw is probably correct. I suspect the Democrats are kicking themselves for passing this bill, since most of the soft money it regulates comes from labor unions, environmentalist wacko groups, pro-abortion feminists organizations, and George Soros. I suspect the Dems climbed on the bill with the expectation that Bush would veto it and then they could skewer him for doing so; when he didn't, they swollowed hard, crossed their fingers, hoping that the Court would bail them out from their "over-strategerizing." Now the court has approved what they "wanted," much to their dismay.
BTW, I've come to look upon those who claim about four times a week that they are "through" with Bush and the GOP for some outrage, really weren't with Bush and the GOP very firmly to begin with.
