http://www.thehill.com/news/111803/money.aspxRepublicans fear left-leaning advocacy groups will raise up to $420 million in unregulated contributions, the kind of soft money that the 2002 McCain-Feingold law prevents the parties themselves from collecting.
While Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie questioned the legality of pledges from wealthy donors like George Soros and Peter Lewis who advocate the defeat of President Bush, Republican groups will use those high numbers to galvanize their own soft money base.
Gillespie told reporters in a conference call yesterday that he was unaware of any Republican groups that are “prepared to spend 360 to 420 million dollars
to defeat a candidate for federal election.”

they forgot that there are truly more of us than there are of them (that why Gore received 500,000 more votes than the village idiot) and they are illegal squatters that stole an election and their "hero" has been out raising over $100 Million for his "election"....
