In my current haze of sleepiness, I was meandering about some blogs from the other side of the railroad tracks, if you will. It seems the left, the darlings of McCain Feingold, are now all up in arms about free speech being limited because of Bush's potential lawsuit to end the ads of the 527's. Since this works in favor of what I've been promoting here, I'm not going to complain too loudly. Just the same, it's kind of funny that people who were on board with McCain Feingold, who were solidly behind their man Kerry when he demanded the president tell the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth to take down their ads, now get all riled up after Bush falls into line with their beliefs on political speech. Is it a coincidence or do they hate the idea of applying the spirit of McCain Feingold to 527's because so much of their money and effort to buy this election have gone into them?
Just more proof that the illogical wing of the Democratic party make up the rules as they go. It really is too bad that today they lead the party of Truman, Kennedy, and Scoop Jackson. There used to be some prinicpal in the Democratic party.

You've got it about them losing tens of millions on their 527s. McAuliff is reported to have scoffed, when told that that Bush would be glad to start a lawsuit to end the 527s, that "It wouldn't work and Bush knows it."
It wouldn't. There isn't enough time before the election. Which is why the Bush people proposed it. Makes em seem so damned reasonable. I love these guys.
