Am I the only one that thinks the 527s have been a huge negative in politics? I know the intent of McCain-Feingold was good but this is IMNHO a huge huge oversight. In prior elections each campaign had to police their own to keep them from going around the bend with negative ads, accusations and the like. With the 527s the fringe elements of both parties can do whatever they like, however they want and there's little the candidate or party can do to temper those messages. I submit we should remove all restrictions on money in politics and simply require 100% disclosure of who is funding what. Anything else ends up with nasty unintended consequences.
