did we put out foot in our mouth?

[ecomcon]

Nope. The ends do not justify the means.

[mabelkitty]

Democrats are so intelligent, gifted, and created. It's just so hard to outsmart them. Whatever will we do.

As for foot in mouth, I say not.

It will get thrown out, but by that time, the Dems won't have their base to fall back on. They blew them off because of the new law. It's a win/win.

[Dont Mention the War]

I recall a number of analysts and Freepers speculating at the time at the law would end up helping Republicans more than RATS. We fought it because it's wrong and unconstitutional.

We statist, Neo-Con Bushbot sellout RINOs figured this out early during the FR mass hysteria over the CFR passage/signing.

This is a manifestation of what has long been known-- for all the liberals' bloviating about the Republicans being the party of the 'fat cats' and the Dems being for the 'little man', the reverse is actually true when it comes to donations.

Republicans have always had a distinct advantage among the $100 donors, the small businessmen, professionals, and retired folks.

The Democrats have long depended on the guilt-wracked limousine liberals to fork over the $10,000 and $100,000 donations. Fewer but larger contributions kept them in power for decades after they should have been marginalized.

Now that hard money rules the day, the armies of 'little people' who fear big government and put their money where their mouth is will help the Republicans bury the Democrats for generations to come.

Our freedom of speech is still being denied by that unconstitutional law. It was never about money.

[Redleg Duke]

That's it, then. It isn't fair. Time to overturn it!

[wildbill]

This is rich--and not Mark Rich. Remember we got the Dems to raise the hard money level from 1000 to 2000 as part of the deal to make the bill palatable to some moderate Republicans. Hard money is our advantage because we have a lot of hard money small contributors.

I refuse to believe that Mitch McConnel is smart enought to have planned this--luring them into making concessions--while knowing their fund raising would be hurt the most.

Noooo. Republicans aren't that smart.

[tubebender]

There is much more about this law that is bad for us than raising money. I wonder how the court challenge is going...
