if you oppose CFR, don't be such a fan of the 527s.

That makes no sense. So if I don't like the bans on free speech in CFR, I must favor further bans on free speech by being against 527's? I don't think so. I think the CFR supporters who favor 527's are hypocritical. Bush gets credit only for being consistent. He's wants to ban all of it. So under Kerry I get the freedom to speak out on politics via 527's only if I am a liberal. And under Bush I lose all unregulated freedom to speak out. I don't like either choice. Like I said before, I will vote for Bush on other issues, but I will hope and pray that a leader will come along who helps us fully restore the First Amendment.

maybe you are right there. I support the mitch mcconnell view, that the best campaign law is the 1st amendment.

my point is that without CFR, 527s wouldnt be around.
another point is what someone (Abe Lincoln ?) said: The best way to get rid of an unjust law is to enforce it.
