Reply #9: So your contention is that the Reps have historically out spent us pre-527

[demdave]

and this somehow levels the playing field? If they had the money there to donate under the old rules, what stops them from also using the 527 loophole? I stand by my original statement that this loophole will come back to bite us. It will be used by the Reps at a level that only deep pockets can produce.

As for your slam at religion, how would you curtail that? I see and hear very few paid ads on TV or the radio. What they do inside the confines of their churches will happen regardless. If your idea, and I am using your reference of deductions as a basis, is to tax the churches out of existence, then you will merely turn the people of religion that currently vote Dem against us. The VAST majority of voters are religious to some degree.
