That is exactly right and that is the part of the bill that will be found unconstitutional. Look Bush could a vetoed it on "principle" but that would only postpone the inevitable. Why not sign a favorable bill and let the USSC kill the issue ad ban permantly. Bush's veto only survives his term in office a USSC ruling is much harder to overcome. BTW there is quite a bit of analysis that sees groups like the NRA benefiting from this. The NRA can do all the ads it wants right up to poll closing if they are funded by HARD money. Guess which side has the most hard money.
I guess I'm not that pessimistic. If we have no choice but to accept the "inevitable," and embrace the garbage the liberals throw at us, without even putting up a fight, it looks like we're doomed.
I tend to believe that our nation doesn't have to continue down the liberal road. It's our choice. Are we going to accept what the other side deems as "inevitable," or are we going to take a stand and do what is right?

But they still can't single out candidates in the ads. That's the point. They can run the ads, but they can't state specifically who stands for what.
That stinks, for lack of a better word.
