As far as I can tell, John McCain will always win in Arizona. Our sizeable Democrat minority will vote for him, and enough republicans to put him way over the top. Not only does he not understand the first amendment, he also seems to have a great amount of humility. Not.

I don’t recall being asked whether to turn the FEC into the Lord Chancellor’s office. I will give up political blogging when they pry my mouse from my cold dead fingers.

Lindenen, Bill Quick has a short piece up on it. Oddly enough, neither Jarvis nor Kaus nor Drezner nor Rosen nor Romenesko mention it. Must not be newsworthy, I guess. Or perhaps one needs to belong to the phylum Chordata.

Exactly. This Post article seems worthy of a major MSM investigation.

Anyone have a number for FOX News?

Perhaps Roger has some thoughts on this? (hint,hint)

Rick :

“I believe that we will see some Congressional hearings on this (once they realize what suckers they’ve been and determine who to blame).”

Oh, I think they knew all along, or at least had a clue, as to who was pushing this fake ‘grass roots’ support for CFR. They just didn’t care, since it helps them stay in office.

That said, I hope that there are hearings on this fraud upon the American people. My jaw actually dropped while reading that NY Post article. It’s an explosive piece; or at least it should be.

Am I the only one confused by why more people aren’t talking about that NYPost article? Is there some place people are talking about? Any links?

Rick,

I wish you hadn’t pointed that out to me. I suppose I should have wondered who the heck funded OpenSecrets (well, the Center for Responsive Politics or whatever they are) but I didn’t.

Dang. Those insidious moneyed moonbats have their slimey tentacles everywhere!

There’s another gang that tracks who gives what to whom but I’ve lost track of them. I think it was Terrye or one of the other fine ladies here at Roger’s place who pointed to them oh, so very, very long ago (that eternity since before November 2).

Reading that NYPost article has made me nauseous.

Dishman, McCain, if he’s still alive in ’08, will aim his sites at the DEMOCRATIC presidential nomination slot. So, it’ll be interesting to watch McCain and Hillary now bounce around together. Fighting for who gets the top bunk. And, to whom falls the bottom.

Of course, as my mom would say, “man plans and God laughs.”

In the meantime anyone interested in being touted as running as Any Dog? We all have a dog in this race, no?

"Is the sort of financial "transparency" that folks like opensecrets.org can get as a result of M-F?" Umm, Knuck - take a look at the major funders of Open Secrets and compare it to the list in the Sager article. Amazing, isn't it. Somehow my trust in foundations (what very little there ever was) has evaporated. The fact that MF is now law is clear evidence of failure by all three branches of government. McCain got rolled by the libs and Dems, W suckered himself into thinking the Supremes would strike it down and the Supremes decided that free speech wasn't that big a deal. What a collection of clowns. We could do better with the first 545 names in the Omaha phone book.
