Yeah right.

1- was it's budget $100 million +

2- was it funded by blatant partisans

You're kidding, right?



3- did it publish outright lies & slander based on fiction, aimed directly
at the most prominent Republicans

Of course it did.



The answer to all three is 'not even close' so therefor it's hardly equal,
is it?

The actual answer was "yes" to 2 of the 3 questions.

It may be "yes" to all of the questions, but I haven't the time to lookup
what their budget was.



Or is your moral position 'the Democrats occasionally don't tell the whole
boring truth, so therefor is't OK for Republicans (espeically the most
radical fundie hard-right faction) to scream lies all the time'?

It's a rather odd situation for the party of "morality and responsibility"
to be in.


I really don't know how to curtail blatant political advertising via special
interest groups, and at the same time protect their first amendment rights.

Of course, it'd all be simpler if we just did away with the Bill of Rights.
