Bush bragged about signing McCain-Feingold this morning?

[Todd33]

Bush appeared to give McCain a pass on the FCC issue but nailed him on campaign finance reform.

"Is he walking the walk? Yes, I think he is," Bush said. "My objection is that he's supporting campaign finance reform that's going to unilaterally disarm the Republican Party."

"I trust your judgment," Bush said to McCain, "but I don't trust the plan you are outlining. It is bad for campaigns, and it is bad for the conservative cause."

That's from the 2000 debates and I don't think he had any idea about the 527 loophole either (no one really saw that coming). Sounds like he was against reform in general. Yet this morning he was bragging about signing it.

Ahhhh, a failed President grasping at straws and still more than 2 months out. Never would've imagined it.

Bush also invented automobiles and airplanes! Didn't you get the executive mandate on that?

Well as it turns out the republicans werent effected, but the democrats were. Both sides flip-flopped on this issue. And dont say the democrats didnt because they are responsible for 527s.
