Mr. Allen, do you really think someone who made the statement in the first place has the brains to distort anything. It's just more stupidity from the 100th percentile of the truly truly stupid. Now if the stupid dems want campaign finance well they are a fundamentally totally stupid bunch so...... PAIN WILL MAKE THEM STRONG, naahhhh it blow em away LOL Campaign Finance Reform May Cripple Democrats Democrats who hopped on the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform bandwagon may soon be sorry they got what they asked for. New figures released just weeks after the reformers used the Enron scandal to ram CFR through Congress show that Democrats have by far the most to lose under the new soft money restrictions, which may end up denying the party more than two-thirds of its funding. From January through March, national Democrats raised $26 million, all but $8 million of which came from soft money fat cats. During the same period the GOP hit the jackpot in hard money fundraising. With an equal bottom line of $26 million, the GOP managed to get more than 80 percent of its loot from hard money donors. Should the trend hold, Republicans would have a more than two-to-one advantage in unregulated cash. Meanwhile, the so-called party of the little guy would lose its ability to tap into the wealthiest 2 percent, like the two left coast donors who ponied up a total of $12 million to Democrats this year. After November, the Democrats' Hollywood gazillionaires won't legally be able to give more than $2,000 apiece. The Democratic National Committee finished the first quarter with $23 million on hand. But it owed $9 million. The Republican National Committee, on the other hand, had $38.8 million on hand and no debts, according to the Associated Press. from newmax..... tom watson tosiwmee
