As I recall, when
Bush signed this bill, all the Bushbots were
marveling over his genius, saying that Bush opposed the bill, but by signing it Bush was cleverly "diffusing" the issue, since he knew that the courts would overturn it.
Yeah, brilliant plan.
Now, of course, the Bushbots are blaming it all on McCain and the court.

The established parties do not want competition from alternatives. It could rip apart their pork barreling ways and actually serve the American people.

During the height of the cold war, a Soviet general remarked to his American counterpart during one of the arms reduction negotiations that it is almost impossible to devise a defense against the American military. He remarked that Americans write a rule book, but then completely disregard it and do the most unexpected of things; a concept totally unknown in the ridgid staff system that was Soviet military doctrine.
I suspect that the same fate will befall Campaign Finance Reform. I figure it'll take about 8 to 10 months, max, to figure out a way around, over or through it.

All the Bushbots? I doubt it. Some did. This bill was a bad idea from the beginning. Disappointed in the SCOTUS, of course, but, hey. Maybe it'll help to wake up some people to the obstructionism going on right now by the Democrats. They are so frightened that some of GWB's circuit court picks will eventually be appointed to the Supreme Court, thereby diluting its current liberal bias, that they are using unprecedented extreme obstructionist methods to block their confirmations.
Want to make the Supreme Court and all of the federal courts more conservative? Vote out the commie-loving rat bastards! Want to leave the godless America hating Democrats on the bench, vote Rat or third party.

It is "here-we-go-again" time.
Let's hear it for the Losertarian Party --- always the bridesmaid, never the bride.
Bitching from the sideline with the Greens. Oh, if our vote wasn't so precious as to waste it.

Now, of course, the Bushbots are blaming it all on McCain and the court. Some of them are praising the CFR law, because they think it will benefit the Republicans.

The leftist media will be running Dim campaign commercials 24/7 right up until the polls close, like they do every day.
The Republican viewpoint on TV will be silenced 60 days before the election.
Bad news.

Geoffrey Neale is brilliant. He basically said the same thing that Harry Browne said, but it still rings true. Campaign finance reform is a huge sham, and blatantly unconstitutional. Which amendment of the bill of rights will the government trample next? Now that they've trampled #1, it's time to finish up #2 I guess. How pathetic.
