#3 FEC investigation of the Obama donations - when hell freezes over cause they're exempt. The FEC is like gun control - aimed at law abiding, not the criminal. Both abridge fundamental Constitutional guarantees no matter how lawyers weasel word their excuses.

#4 This is truly amazing. Facts are facts, if DeMint's campaign effed up then they should pay the fines. But where in the hell is the FEC investigation - with accompanying bad publicity -about what at least was the strong appearance of massive malfeasance in the Obama campaign?

In their natural reaction to want to support the country and its leader, many non-Obama supporters surely cannot be forgetting what new and shocking lows this last campaign set not just in the financial area but in terms of thuggery and abuse (J the P's treatment by state govt., etc.).

Like most with any sense I've always opposed all but the most basic transparency-oriented campaign finance rules, but this last campaign was so ugly in so many ways, it adds to the ignominy and bad precedent of the substantive result.
