And that's what is so beautiful about this! It's free publicity - for the Swifties!
Let the good times roll!
I'm going to have to resign from Free Republic. Oh, woe is me!!
There was a fabulous quote last week on Fox News' Special Report to the effect that the FEC is the most feckless organization in Washington. It is comprised of an equal number of Republicans and Democrats, which shouldn't impair its ability to render objective judgment, but does. Witness the very clear interactions and collaborations of $60+ million in Democratic 527s as opposed to the unsubstantiated belief that there is a master plot to undermine Kerry. This is laughable as Kerry is his own worst enemy.
As you know, the statute, 2 U.S.C. 437g(a)(1), states that any complaint filed with the Commission must be signed and notarized and made under "pain of perjury and subject to the provisions of section 1001 of title 18." The Commission must deal with this complaint in an appropriate matter.
I looked up this specific law, and it's here:

Which reads in part, "...shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both."
THIS IS BIG STUFF! The RNC, the very last people I would ever expect to fight back and defend themselves, just called down the lightning on the DNC!!
It would of been nice if they RNC would of connected the dots to Kerry & the lefts 527's.
LOL
Bump!
Oh, yeah, like...what's the FEC gonna do, huh? Whup Kerry on his butt-shot spot?
LOL. A jarhead like you won't be run off by anyone.
On a serious note . . . You and the other warriors who have served and/or are still serving our country are the MAIN reason we're the greatest country the world has ever known.
My nephew is serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. God, I love that boy. I salute him, you, and all the others who have served, are serving, and who will serve in the future. It's FINALLY become fashionable to be in the military again.
They basically told the FEC to adhere to their own laws - either dismiss the charges, or hit them with 18 USC 1000.
After all, perjury IS a felony.
Thank you, I stand corrected.
Look who is being anointed to help the ambassador's son.
Kerry Spot on NRO
HILLARY TO HEAD KERRY'S 'TRUTH SQUAD'? [08/23 06:40 AM]
The New York Post is reporting that Kerry's campaign, "which slighted Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton during the Democratic convention last month, now wants the former first lady to lead its "truth squad" at next week's GOP convention... Party insiders said that aides to Clinton were engaged in "intensive talks" over the weekend with Kerry's representatives about the role she is expected to play."
Insert joke about naming a Clinton to a group called the "truth squad" here.
Seriously, the RNC had Rudy Giuliani doing their "rapid response" during the convention in Boston. I'm not sure Hillary has quite the same appeal to swing voters and those few remaining undecided middle-of-the-road types.
My heartfelt prayers and sincere gratitude going out to your nephew and his family/friends.
They're calling out the FEC, just as they called out the UN. Either do your job, or be consigned to irrelevancy.
So where's the countersuit for MoveOn.org and the DNC's little love fest? Also, isn't it illegal for MoveOn.org to collect funds from non-US citizens to use in an attempt to alter the results of the American political process???
Dem SOP. What else is new?
In regard to the FEC, anyone who was unfortunate enough (moi) to watch last week's hearing, this commission was rendered redundant from its inception. They, by law, must be made up of three people from each party.
They're basically blowhards (some not all) and acknowledge as they debate that they realize they're not going to change the minds of the other commissioners. Its painful to watch.
Yes, it was thoughtful of the Kerry campaign to take a group that could only afford advertising in 3 areas and give it national attention.
Just WHO is advising those idiots?
Shalom.
