Campaign Finance Reform update

As any idiot could have predicted when the so-called "campaign finance reform" laws were passed, politicians are driving fully-loaded semi trucks of cash through the "527 organization" loophole in campaign finance laws.

As if Soros' cash dump wasn't obvious enough, Moveon.org is apparently pulling in cash from all over the planet, something that would be illegal for funds donated directly to a candidate. It doesn't take much searching on the net to see this happening on websites around the world.

Obviously, in the world of campaign finance reform, dedicating massive amounts of money--possibly from sources around the world--to the destruction of a candidate is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT than giving that money to that candidate's opponent. How's that again?

Moveon.org is playing with fire here. If they just take cash from anyone from around the world with a credit card, how long before some nasty types send them some cash? Will Moveon.org be able to tell that a donation is coming from, for example, an Islamist support group in Europe? Would the revelation of that fact do their favored party any good?

As Drudge says, developing.
