We should oppose CFR because of the limitations placed on ads run 60 days before an election. I strongly disagree with the tax loving liberal groups but they have a right to express and advertise their bad ideas. Especially before an election.

I'm against this stupid bill myself just because it's another lame brain gov't intrusion but:

The limitations placed on ads run in the last 60 days of a campaign is only on soft money. The NRA can still use hard money right up to an election. This actually hurts the NAACP and ACLU much more then the NRA.

Barnes is correct that the GOP comes out better end the end. I think Bush will sign it just because it does stop the union money frombeing used and it helps the GOP?

It's also one less issue the Dems can harp on this fall !
