PACs= Political Action comittee

Everyone thinks I am being a bit biased. I like getting my views from multiple sources. I got an email from this nationally known pac that put out that ad with the mother and baby talking to McCain that is worrysome. They are causing the public to be blind to the true issues. They are endorsing poltical candidates defacto. This should be treated to a political contribution to the Obama campaign.
This is not fair to McCain. I think that groups like this particular one should not be allowed to take out these ads against any candidate. Why should McCain be limited on his deductions. I think McCain needs to be allowed to raise more if necessary to combat the influence of these groups.
Some of these so called PACs are funded by questionable sources. I think its time to eliminate 527s and also groups like Moveon.org. THey should be restricted when they can place these ads and when.
We can not let these groups win. We have to stay the course. You have to remain vigilant because these PAC groups may one day take away your rights. Is that fair.
I got a email froma christian group combatting Supreme court cases. There are extremist groups who want to if we put a memorial to what happened after 9-11 that we have to have the opposing point of view also on same site. Is that wrong for groups to do that.
You look at other groups. Im sorry but PACs are wrong. I think they should be treated as part of the candidate campaign. It is influencing during the election.

That commercial is horrible... stupid moveon.org trying to scare us into votes.

You have to admit though... it was a brilliant ploy in emotional marketing.

You look at Sarah Brady and her group of friends etc well they use the same sort of emotional tactics.

Mc Cain IS allowed to raise more money. There's no cap on campaign fundraising, and if there were, he'd be nowhere near it in comparison to Obama.

You look at AL Gore and his friends. The Global warming has some falsehoods in his movie. You look at for instance PETA or HSUS who use sympathy with the letters for donations. yet, you look at how they spend donations most of the money goes to fund raising or salaries with some groups also funding legal fees of other extremists. ELF/ALF have their legal fees paid by a tax deductable contribution of ordinary citizens.
It is frightening how this happens way too often
