If only there were some thing that happens every 4 years that having a 527 would be important for. If only....

Everyone in this thread is now dumber for having read "why would a 527 only run every 4 years?" I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

One special interest down. How many more does he have to go?

1-0 Obama, if you're keeping score.

 
McCainDemocrat 2008-06-20 03:03:11 PM  
Coordination between 527s and campaigns is illegal. Therefore a candidate cannot press a 527 to shut down since that is coordination.

MoveOn already uses their PAC for most of their work anyways.

So this is basically like selling the car on your lawn, and keeping the one you drive.

-1 for the Obamacrat liar.

Let's hope the special interests don't yank Barry Zito right away. Then it can be 12-0 Obama in no time at all.

He's only against this idea because if the 527s are shut down he'll be out of a job.

Why, exactly, is it a good thing for the candidates and the media to have a total monopoly on influencing the election?

Obama is responsible?

FTFA:

"A Democratic source tells First Read that this has less to do with anything Obama has said and more to do with MoveOn wanting to flex its muscle at Republicans. MoveOn hasn't used its 527 since 2004, and has instead used its PAC to raise money. MoveOn will still be as active as ever, but this move is almost a dare to Republicans. If they don't use 527s, the source said, they have nothing that can match MoveOn."

More lies and distortions from the Obamacrats to ignore reasonable arguments.

You people are the only ones who masturbate while reading DailyKos.

I like him more than the other two.

Everyone knows who you are and everyone thinks you're an idiot.

The best thing you can do for John McCain is dissociate yourself from him and not say anything anymore.

What DID happen to The Convincing Savant? Are we sure he's not the guy behind danlpoon and all these McCain alts? I mean, someone dumb enough to say "I'm in the Marine Core" and blame it on his wife would respond to someone talking to one of his alts...and he DID seem to drop out of the threads around the same time all these alts popped up...

I wouldn't be terribly surprised to discover that this idiot has been around for years, possibly starting with TGOT, or whomever he was before that. It's so pathetic, yet so amusing.

Funner fact, no one is responding to the troll brothers.

 
McCainDemocrat 2008-06-20 03:45:54 PM  
Also, Obama accepts PAC support when they run ads for him. Like MoveOn, and a labor organization has spent $8M for Obama, and Planned Parenthood spends for Obama.

Anyone going through the records of Fark to track who's the Wizard behind the curtain of all these alts...

Well, if it were a movie, it'd basically be the sequence in JFK where Costner's talking about Oswald pre-11/22/63 while the Life magazine rifle cover is getting constructed.

"We are through the looking glass here, people! Up is down...and black is white."

OK. But it's still a clever tactical strategy. Still a win in my eyes. This is what you do when you're campaigning.
