P.S. I don't generally support Move On, but I support their right to say what they think.

Interesting that you assume I agree with the other groups that are doing it. I have been for campaign finance reform long before I ever ventured into this forum and have made plenty of posts toward that end.
My point was, and remains, that the Democrats claimed the ONLY reason they had to resort to such tactics was the HUGE difference in fundraising between Bush and Kerry (regardless of the fact that the 9+ candidate field is the reason fund raising was slow in the beginning for most campaigns). Now that the gap has decreased their reason is gone. If this was Bush's team doing it people would be crying LOOK THEY LIED AGAIN.
While the NRA is a favored example it is far different from Move On and its ilk. The NRA was formed and remains dedicated to the cause of gun ownership. Move On and others are created purely to combat the Republican Party and more specifically George Bush.
