Only if by "pro conservative" you mean "anti-Constitutional, but temporarily favorable to appeasing Republican efforts to 'take the Democrats' issues away!'"

No. It is a clear violation of the 1st Amendment. It is suppression and regulation of political speech. That is not conservative.

Matters not. It's anti-Constitutional.

Clearly you haven't taken into consideration the most powerful and influential special interest group out there- the print and television media. You and I, and any 'special interest' group can not make a political ad X many days before an election, yet the media can continue to spin its bias to achieve a desire political outcome? And where exactly do conservatives benefit from this?

All of us lose. The idea that we, as citizens, have free speech rights guaranteed by the first amendment but can't express those views before an election is a travesty- one that Congress and President Bush approved. CFR was a huge mistake, one that I believe many Republican politicians will realize this summer and fall.
