Are you that ignorant naturally or did you have to work at it? The disclaimer was part of the McCain Feingold Law. Yes, Bush signed it, but that was long after his first campaign for POTUS. Federal candidates have to say the disclaimer in their ads because the law has separate provisions for candidates and independent groups, which, as part of their tax status, may not be coordinated with offical campaigns.
