Maybe you can answer this. I posted the FEC Commission members at post #540.

There was a big mess a while back because Bush didn't want to nominate Daschle's choice, (Weintraub). McCain threw his weight behind Daschle and the dems and Bush gave in to McCain in exchange for some other support, (what exactly, I don't remember now).

The list I see, (and the stories I remember), indicate that now we have 4 dems and 2 pubbies which is unusual.

They're frightened.... they can't stand the heat. They need censorship. The marketplace of ideas does not help them so they want the government to intervene pronto to shut the Swift Boats up. Its the implosion of the Kerry Campaign, folks and its not pretty. This is who these people are and they're going beserk.

I probably should have asked a question since I asked for an answer LOL!

Is it your understanding the the FEC is split 3/3, or is my recollection correct?

Thanks!

Somebody needs to make a photo of Kerry as the wicked witch as she gets a bucket of water thrown on her and immediately starts to melt to the floor. Kerry campaign in meltdown mode.

As the "Constitutional Stud Muffin in Residence" could you please give us a few of the ins and outs of CFR?

Another Freeper asked me a bit ago if the Swift Boat Vets ads will have to come down after the convention. I couldn't give a definitive answer since I deal exclusively with state campaigns and have no need for knowledge of CFR.

We've all figured out that Bush/Cheney & Kerry/Edwards cannot accept money after their respective conventions.

Can soft money be donated to the Parties after the conventions?

Who can and cannot purchase advertising on behalf of an issue or a candidate?

We're counting on you as a final authority. Help us out.

Well, I guess I have one thing in common with Kerry -- I think Elizabeth Hurley is pretty hot too.

CFR was intended to silence criticism of the political elite. The Kerry Campaign wants the FEC to enforce the law the way it was intended. And Russ Feingevelt so happens to be one of the original sponsors of the law. What a sweetheart deal!

How funny! Thanks for the ping.

I just got an Email from an acquaintance...one of those 'a pox on both their houses' people. He said: 'What the heck is a Swiftboat? I don't care who paid for the ads, his Senate testimony was enough to turn me into a Republican - at least this year'.

I very helpfully told him a Swiftboat was much like a Swanboat. After all, it is MA....and it is Kerry....
