Bush didn't understand the Campaign Finance law he signed
At least that's what he said...

snip>
Bush complained about the influence of the 527 groups in an interview with CNN’s Larry King last week. He seemed under the mistaken impression that BCRA had banned such groups.

Bush calls for ban
“They ought to get rid of all those 527s, independent expenditures that have flooded the airwaves,” Bush said, not explaining whether by “they” he meant Congress or the FEC, which regulates political groups.

“There have been millions of dollars spent. ... I signed a law that I thought would get rid of those (groups),” he added.

Bush said, “I think there ought to be full disclosure” of donors to the 527 groups. In fact, there already is disclosure
: Voters can find the names of donors to 527 groups on the IRS web site. Much information about the groups also can be found on MSNBC.com's campaign finance guide, produced by the Center for Responsive Politics.
