But they can't respond to the quesiton of how, precisely, this will help the conservative cause.

Hard money is increased from $1,000 to $2,000 per donor, per candidate.

The GOP has TWICE as many hard money donors as the Democrats.

OK, so this is doubled. That's a pittance when you consider that the Rats will find other ways to raise money anyway. Do you think the unions won't find a way to get their membership to funnel hard donations now?

Conservatives are being asked to drink this cup of swill and pretend we like it. Why is it always the conservatives that are capitulating?

Oh, I see, even if a law violates the constitution is OK because it provides a political advantage.

Correction, used too have twice as many. I won't be donating again till Bush begins to show some principles.

All that money means nothing if we are barred the freedom to speak within 60 days of the election. Also, look a little deeper: There are special provisions that allow unions to continue pouring money into DNC coffers.

Big deal. democRATS will just double the amount of ILLEGAL cash they receive. And Bush and the GOP will ignore the new ILLEGAL contributions ... just like they ignored the ILLEGAL contributions of the last two elections (as proven by Ashcroft doing NOTHING about the Riady non-refund).
