Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Monday, July 23, 2007

A loophole in political fundraising laws is allowing presidential candidates to collect money for different campaigns -- providing a way for donors to give more than the limit on individual contributions. Candidates have already raised more than $2 million outside of their official presidential campaigns since the Nov. 7 election, using congressional or state campaign committees, political action committees or IRS Section 527 political groups.

Did anyone ever think mccain and fiengold would work ? These politicians are playing the American people like a fiddle . How long before Americans say they have had enough of being spoon fed these worthless , leaderless , clueless assclown administrations ?
They have lost control of the country , piling on to get what they can before it hits the skids .

Isn't that new campaign finance reform working well?

None of the money raised for that second committee or group can be spent in pursuit of the presidency, but a former elections official says the extra dollars nonetheless benefit presidential candidates.

If that money is raised under the pretense of being used in the Presidential campaign but when in truth, it can not be used, that should be considered fraud i.e. a criminal offense.

Another reason why they should have to resign the office they have in order to run for another, and only be allowed to run for one office at a time.

I "double dipped" last night. Not bad for an old man...
