I find a great deal of hypocrisy to go around. Think about the fact that if money is free speech,and I think it is, and wish President Bush would have vetoed, but what about the existing campaign laws already. There are already limits on hard money (unconstitutional?) restrictions on soft money(unconstitutional?). Everyone is focused on the 60 day period, but think about who is restricted now. Republicans give more hard money now, but this is limited. My free speech is already limited because of what I can give monetarily. Let's keep in mind that Bush is not the one who created this mess, but is trying to do what he thinks will eventually help most and that is to eliminate this whole issue and move on by signing CFR. He also eliminated McCains' only issue.

Well, move to the head of the class, rabbit. That is beyond a doubt the most important statement made on FR about CFR in YEARS.

They won't even obey the laws on the books right now and we're acting like this is going to do it? Didn't John McCain stand on the floor of the Senate and insinuate that every politician in D.C. was a crook? "Stop us before we commit yet another felony!"

Ridiculous. Let the United States Supreme Court tell John McCain that he wrote, co-sponsored, lobbied for, and twisted arms to pass an unconstitutional bill. If Bush had vetoed this, we'd all be DEAD before this thing got voted on again and to the Supreme Court.
