The Swift Boat Veterans' success in stopping Kerry really got to the Democrats. They can't protect their collection of defective politicians from the truth without instituting such measures.

Look again. There are just as many on the other side of the aisle who would love to see all kinds of restrictions. Recall that John McCain has already tried twice. Look for more attempts before the 08 election cycle.

Funny how the left is quiet about this turn toward Fascism, Naziism and Communism.

Claybrook made a fool of herself trying to defend the indefensible during hearings on NTSA's failure to detect tire/rollover problems. She took refuge in the consumerist home of true scoundrels with Raplh Nader.

Time for anyone wanting to set up blog sites, or sites for political free speech to move them out of US jurisdiction.

Google for "anonymous offshore hosting" returns a lot of hits,

like:

"This is insane--and will be thrown out in any decent Federal Court as a First Amendment violation.

That's what they said about McPain/Finkgold. Bush signed it into tyrannical law and the Supremes rubber stamped it.

>>
That’s what Big Government does — it keeps getting bigger and bigger and, as Publius noted in The Federalist Papers, no “parchment barrier” like the First Amendment is going to prevent those in power from telling the rest of us how to live.

And this is where I take the opportunity to point out that when the RINOs in power for the last 6 years had the chance, they would not even defund NPR, let alone reign in the Compliance State.

I cannot even imagine being in the House of Representatives having Mommy pointing her finger at all of those men. If they let her have total say-so and control then they are a bunch of wusses.

Scold me now.

Forget the FedGov attempts to take over our thought processes. It is neither Lib nor Left nor any other political party. It is everywhere, even in the most Conservative talkshow. While we're talking pc, I will state that as Pres, Ford was a zero. Not in the top 90%. This should serve as a warning for those who wish to make a member of Congress into President. You'll get a lapdog sometimes.

Bush signed it into tyrannical law and the Supremes rubber stamped it.

(one mans opinion, freely given, and worth almost that much)
I think they (USSC) got tired of congress and the presidents expecting them to clean up their messes. By that I mean voting for and signing laws that are obviously unconstitutional, and then expecting the USSC to say no. Then Congress/Presidents could go back to the "People" and say "Hey we tried, but the USSC says no".

From what I ubderstand it's ( McCain-Feingold) going back before them soon.

Valin, Thanks for the links. It looks like it may be coming down to this. Unfortunately, going off shore will only work until these scoundrels pass laws to block them ala the Red Chinese.

Really? Explain how it was he vetoed 66 Bills, all but 12 of which were sustained. AND HE WAS ONLY PRESIDENT FOR A YEAR AND A HALF.

Why don't you do that? The media hype of the Presidency of this man is intended to undercut the accomplishmenbts of Pres Reagan.
