Bush Flip-Flops on 527's
A few days ago President Bush said that 527 groups are "bad for the system." But, when he was being helped by similiar groups in his 2000 primary fight against McCain, Bush was all in favor of them, saying, "[T]hat's what freedom of speech is all about. ... People have the right to run ads. They have the right to do what they want to do, under the -- under the First Amendment in America."
There are several other places where Bush made similiar statements in favor of independent groups and individuals participating in the political process via paid advertising. Media Matters has the info at: Media ignores another Bush flip-flop: Bush was for 527s -- before he was against them
