The swift boat ad group isn't using this loophole?
Yes, they are. Democrats have been using it for over a year now. It's about time it was used against them, don't you think?
Hey Huck, I think you are unfairly Bashing Bush for CFR WRT 527s. They are not in the law, they are an FEC exception to the law. Bush's reading of the CFR law, as well as my own, leads me to the conclusion that CFR makes 527s illegal. The FEC reading of it makes them legal.
Now, I disagreed with CFR as a whole because I think it is a violation of the first amendment. But I don't think blaming 527s on Bush is appropriate...this loophole should no be there according to the law. And CFR should not be there according to the Constitution.
You can Bash Bush for CFR as a whole, but not for 527s. That is an FEC creation, not part of the law the President signed into existance.
