Lott called six- and seven-figure checks that independent political groups poured into last year's presidential election "sewer money" that must be stopped. The Mississippi Republican said his committee would vote next month on legislation that would put strict new limits on fund-raising and spending by partisan tax-exempt groups active in congressional or presidential races.
Yeah, now that the likes of George Soros is contributing millions for anti-Bush/anti-fascist 527s the Republicans are squealing like stuck pigs about the big money in political campaigning. As long as big money was going into Republican coffers they were quite happy obstructing any attempt at campaign finance reform. But now that the shoe is on the other foot, look at how quickly they have jumped on the "reform" bandwagon. How disingenuous can you get.
