George Bush vs. the 527s, Part 3

As predicted in this very blog on Monday, George W. Bush is now setting himself on a crusade to end the ability of 527's to finance political advertising.

As I have said elsewhere, I seriously think that the Swift Boat Veterans For Truth campaign was orchestrated (or manipulated) by the Bush team or its allies as a way of creating a situation where George W. Bush could call for an end to all advertising by 527 groups, and then insist that Kerry join him in this demand or be called a hypocrite.

Bush is scared. He's afraid of groups like MoveOn.org, of its members, and of their collective strength. He's seeing Democracy in action, and it's got him worried.

And he has the nerve to call 527's "shadowy"? A man who lets shadow advisors like Grover Norquist steer the ship of state? (For more information of Grover Norquist: here's a bio from mediatransparency.org, another from disinfopedia.org, an article from The Nation, here's an interview with NPR's Terry Gross, and here's a review of that interview.) A man who John Dean has called "the most secretive president this nation has ever had"? I seem to recall some quote about those who call the light darkness, and the darkness, light...

Like I said earlier, stick it to the man - join MoveOn.org. REGISTER TO VOTE. And then, this November, use your political power to get George W. Bush out of office.
