"The opponents of this bill are ready to move on," he said.

Has anyone else had about enough of that particular phrase?
It is generally used when politicians are fixin' to do the wrong thing.

Which Rep Senators are voting for this piece of garbage-other than McCain ?? I hope to God that the MIA pilot from Irag is still alive, aside from the obvious reasons that one wishes for things like this-but, maybe we could get an honest to God, real POW to overshadow that Arizona phoney!!

Yes. I am sick and tired of the phrase which was first voiced by democRATS and has now been adopted by some of the staunchest defenders on this forum of anything Bush does. Well afterall, Bush is the CHIEF "move-on'er" ... certainly when it comes to even INVESTIGATING the MANY crimes the democRATS committed the last 9 years (not the least of which was ELECTION TAMPERING).

Curious thing about these folks, though ... they all RUN from a discussion of the facts implicating Clinton and the DNC. For example, ask them why is it that Bush and his DOJ have done NOTHING about the Riady non-refund? All you'll get is ignored. They'd rather complain about Hillary's looks.

Of course, even democRATS like to take jabs at Bill and Hill's looks nowadays. Makes them seem "reasonable". But ignoring SERIOUS crimes? That doesn't sound like conservatives, does it? It sounds more like democRATS. So either they are democRATS, which may be the case in some instances ... or they are something worse ... a NEW BREED of republican who are no different than democRATS when it comes to BLINDLY supporting their party and in NOT upholding laws for "perceived" political gain.

The ONLY campaign finance reform we need is to investigate and prosecute those who SUCCESSFULLY stole the 1996 Presidential election using ILLEGAL money ... LOTS AND LOTS OF IT ... from foreign sources ... most notably the COMMUNIST Chinese. And here is a case (the Riady non-refund) where CLEARLY someone(s) associated with the Clintons and DNC violated serious laws. Yet ... Bush, Ashcroft and the GOP have done NOTHING about it. Here is a case that should be simple to prove ... because, by law, there has to be a paper trail ... but Bush, Ashcroft and the GOP have just IGNORED IT.

It is time to ask yourself why. It would appear that Bush/Ashcroft WANT the democRATS to get away with introducing MILLIONS of dollars in ILLEGAL money from Communist sources into the election process. And having got away with it once, does ANYONE think they won't do it again? Does anyone wonder whether Republicans have or may be planning to do the SAME THING?

And it restricts, in the final 30 days of a primary or 60 days of a general election, those broadcast "issue ads" aimed at supporting or attacking a candidate.

But here may be the WORST part of this legislation ... a blatant attempt to keep those who are in power, in power ... by restricting our 1st Amendment rights. I wonder if forums like FreeRepublic are next in their sights.

Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle also said Tuesday that negotiators were near agreement on legislation to improve the voting system in the wake of the disputed 2000 presidential election.

Oh Sure. More likely it is legislatioin to make it easier to tamper with the outcome of elections. That way, Freepers and conservatives, won't have any doors to pound on like they did in Florida, when they helped save Bush's bacon.
