So many questions to consider on this issue! No need to tell me how silly my questions are, I know what you think about me already. but if interested in addressing the points being raised, I am interested in your views on those points.

ace, you are confusing (c)(3) and (c)(4) organizations and the manner in which they can engage in issue advocacy/education.
I would support the IRS enforcing a strict standard for (c)(4) organizations, whether it is the work of the Koch Brothers or George Soros. They should not have tax exempt status if their primary mission and the expenditure of the majority of their funds is to engage in partisan politics. And their donors should be taxed and lose the shield of anonymity.
If you believe that Karl Rove's Crossroads GPS organization is to promote social welfare (requirement for a c4) rather than electing Republicans, then you are just demonstrating more rigid ideology.
Please, no more questions to deflect the issue. Deal with the facts for once.
