#1 They only have jurisdiction over organizations raising and/or spending money to promote a political message, POV, or support a candidate or party.

We work real cheap. They wouldn't dare pretend thay can regulate the free discussion of individuals. The First Amendment would make child's play of turning them into sushi.

Uneasy? Hah, how about so far out of their depth that they wouldn't have the first clue what to do? Lol!

McCain. FEC. Congress. Asshats. MSM.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

#2 Sorry, dot com, but the first amendment only protects the LLL.

#4 McCain seems to be positively irritated by that Constitution thingy. He is perplexed why everybody is always talking about it, and why people keep telling him he can't do what he wants because the Constitution won't let him. In fact, if everybody would just do what he wants, then everything would be fine--no more of this senseless argument and disagreement.

#5 I'd surely like to see Arizonans put the fear of losing on his arrogant butt. Maybe even let a smart up and coming youngster, some Lt Col fresh from Iraq, say, someone who can cancel out his POW status and just whoop his ass in the primary and bulldoze the Donk. That, I'd pay to see.

#6 You'll take my blog when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers!

#7 You'll get free speech out of the net, just after you take the porn off.

#8 McCain just doesn't like anyone else having free political speech, huh?

#9 Sorry, .com, but we have until 2010, when I hope he'll retire. I voted for him this time, too. I wasn't happy, but he has the right ideas on the war, which is the most important issue. He's pretty good on judges, too. If we can only get him to support the First and Second amendments, he'd be very good.

#10 Yeah, but that was before the Swift Boat Vets,...

It was also before Kerry hired Kos to shill for him on the web. This is just like their regulating advertising (with which I have problems, but it is the law). Maybe next time, Kos will have to have a picture of Kerry pop-up and say "I'm John Kerry and I paid for this blog."

#11 Headline: FEC looks at policing cyberspace

If the FEC started looking at policing the liberal media, we wouldn't need conservative blogs to counteract their lies.

#12 At some point, they'll decide that trackback is a form of coordination, if that's what it takes to shut down the critics of incumbents.

#13  I'd surely like to see Arizonans put the fear of losing on his arrogant butt.

We tried a few years back with a petition, and there was enough momentum that it forced him to tack back. Like Jackal, I unhappily voted for him this time.
