Then you're bitching about an issue which is at least a quarter century old. I fail to see how an issue that been an "abomination" to the Constitution for 25 years (campaign finance laws) generates such a hissy fit today. Hey, the courts have been eroding the Constitution for over 40 years at least. When I hear people saying they're going to refuse to vote for the one candidate next year who could actually start to reverse this trend on the courts simply because of this one bill, which IMHO is small beans in the scheme of all the other outrages the courts have done over the last four decades, I'm perplexed.

Oh, that makes it better. We shouldn't have a "hissy fit" because it's been happening for a while.

Gee, I wonder if that defense would work with a rape defendent. "Your honor, I was nailin' her for 72 hours. Why'd she have such a hissy fit at the last hour???"

Let me put it in terms that you can understand.

George Soros can purchase all the ads he wants in whatever media as an indivdual and run them any time he wants. He has the money to do that and I would not restrict him from doing that.

If a bunch of us at Free Republic pool our money and try to buy ad time within 60 days of the election criticising a politician, we go to the hoosegow.

Another case for you:

Chris Mathews attacks President Bush within 60 days of the election on Hardball as he should be able to.

To counter that, a group of us band together to buy ad time on Hardball to call Mathews a liar and Dean a Marxist. We go to jail.

This is an Orwellian America now where some are more equal than others. You get it?

IOW, no matter what Bush does you'll find an excuse to support him. In fact poor leadership on his part is a signal that we need to reelect him.

To paraphrase...Down is up, black is white, war is peace, freedom is slavery...
