I don't want anyone silenced. My campaign spending mantra is no limits, no timelines, full disclosure. I wouldn't even have the whole hard/soft money nonsense at all. I think almost all fund raising reform is nonsense that seeks to keep the incumbent in office regardless of party.
George Will has articulated the nonsense that is campaign finance reform. However I also do not want one voice to have the ability to duck the law while the other must obey it.
If you know of any Republican groups that you think are spending soft money in the same manner as moveon.org, then name them and we can all look at it, discuss and debate if it is right. But don't just question the poster (me), spread a unsubstanciated, anecdotal story (I see dead people, and Kerry ads) and then point say breaking the law is okay.

I also believe in full disclosure, no limits, no timelines.
I didn't note the organization who ran the Kerry ads. You live in California. You haven't seen them? They ran all weekend long last week.
My original question was "who funds them?" Seriously. How do they collect their money? How do they coordinate their ad buys without conflicting with Bush's?

Somewhere in this thread I know I already mentioned my television viewing habits or lack thereof.
I haven't seen television ads for anyone since that would require me to watch television.
But I'm glad we agree on campaign financing. Make too many laws regarding something everyone wants to do, and don't be surprised when we all end up criminals. In this matter, I think it would be much better to simply say Soros wants Kerry and gave him 15 million than to say. Hey Moveon got 15 million from Soros, and gee the ad buys are really coincidental, and they all have the same theme from different groups, etc.
Does us agreeing make your more or less likely to stalk me now?

The ban on smoking ads was successful. I would support a ban on TV ads for politics as well.
As would I.
