So much for McCain-Feingold, it was unconstitutional anyway.

Who sits on the FEC anyway. Do we pay for those losers to do nothing?

Several Republicans had predicted that if the FEC declined to impose new rules GOP donors would flock to pro-Bush groups that so far have operated on a more modest scale than the pro-Democratic groups.

Sounds like a gift to George Soros. You can be sure that any conservative or libertarian groups will be pounced upon by the regulators while the leftist groups will always get a pass. Since the First Amendment does not, according to our illustrious Supreme Court, have much to do with political speech and political speech is subject to all sorts of regulations, you know how these regulations will be applied. If campaign finance reform isn't repealed, the next time the Democrats have a majority they will make sure political speech they disagree with is banned.

FEC Won't Impose New Limits on Groups

FEC Won't Enforce the Legal Limits on Groups... the LAW imposed the limits already.
