Sheesh, does everyone have to run around and scream like chicken littles everytime they hear something they don't expect?

Do the math. Last I heard the anti-Bush groups had raised more than $170 million, the anti-Kerry groups around $35 million. If the legal action President Bush is suggesting works, BOTH sides will be shut down. Since the anti-Bush groups have much more than $35 million left to spend, and there is still time for the SBVFT ads to run before a new ruling comes down, blocking all 527's will hurt the Dems more than the GOP. The SBVFT group just needs to decide how to time the release of their most damaging info, and make sure they have a backup outlet(prominent Senator, prosecutor, rare conservative journalist) for their big info in case the FEC shuts down their ads. If they truly are still holding back one or more blockbusters, it will now stand on its own if released via those other outlets.

Don't they have freedom to run what ever they want and with whatever funding they have? Both the right and left should be allowed to stay.

Do the math.The "math" is completely irrelevant.

If Soros had twenty billion to spend and the Swifties twenty cents, it would still be wrong to restrict political speech.

The fact that the GOP was caught unawares by the 527 option is no one's fault but their own.
