Entry: DON'T YOU BELIEVE IT... Apr 10, 2004



...when the Dems cry about the supposed fundraising advantage of the Bush/Cheney campaign. 

The FACTS are these:

Bush/Cheney has raised approximately $170mil the old-fashioned way...LEGALLY, from contributions of $2000 or less, from individual ordinary Americans like you and me.  This is in 100% compliance with the McCain-Fiengold Campaign Finance Reform law.

Kerry's campaign warchest is being illegally fattened by 527's.  527's are the loophole organizations that take unimited contributions and spend unlimited amounts.  Example:  moveon.org is a 527 and has received $15mil from billionaire George Soros, among others.  These are the same organizations that run the irresponsible fictitious outrageous ads...allowing our friend John Kerry to stand back and claim he had no idea what they were doing.  Estimates are that these Kerry and his lefty 527's have over $200mil and, if you happened to watch TV or listen to the radio you've seen or heard the 'message' they are spreading.  

Query:  Is George Soros and his unlimited personal spending on this campaign an example of the "standing up for the little guy" the Democrats claim to do?  Or, is raising money from individual supporters (the orginal little guys) in full compliance with the laws of this country a better example of representing the American people? 

Of course, how can John Kerry possibly comprehend this concept when he's already "lent" his own campaign over $6mil with the promise from his rich wife that she'll spend what is necessary to get him elected? 

Don't know about you but I long for the old days when Howard Dean was the expected nominee.  I didn't agree with anything that came out of his mouth but at least he had a legitimate opinion, not one determined by polls or that day's audience or subject to frequent flipflop, and he raised money legally, from millions of supporters, not illegal millions from a few supporters...like John FlipFlop Kerry.

It all evens out in the end. People vote, most of those votes get counted, and they give the ad time back to bikini clad bimbos selling beer. Life is good again.

Surely if W needed a loan either Cheney or Dad could float him a couple mil. George gets a free airliner to run around in while Kerry took a bus this week. (Used up all his frequent flier miles on haircuts I guess)

You blog on the right, I blog on the left. No laws are broken. The 527's exist because some neoconpoop or demonut wrote sectioni 527 into law. If they were that out of line the GOP could get an injunction and shut them down tomorrow. It's unsettled law and seems extremely vulnerable to a 1st amendment challenge. They made it 1st for a reason. Did the framers really have to add: "Hey, we really mean this one, it's important. If you don't think so, tell it to all our friends who read the 2nd amendment too."

Just one question before I go. If Kerry is such a die-hard consistent liberal (no argument, he's as left as they come and still get elected) why has this dumb flip.flop thing stuck to him so well? "Toto, I don't think we're in Massachusetts anymore." Sad really. You'd think after twenty years of Senate campaigns he'd learn to find a message and keep on it.

Cheers
