Reply to comment by browsing_around in ‘So blatantly illegal’: Liam Madden admits to funneling money through family to inflate campaign finance numbers by DaddyBobMN

Okay great. Both parties commit campaign finance violations. To attribute it to one party is pretty stupid. Not that hard to follow.

I’m not saying one does and one doesn’t. I’m saying these two instances are not the same. Yes they fall under the same law but they are very different.

The post I replied to said “It’s always GOP scumbag”.

It should be pretty agreeable that both parties commit campaign finance violations but I guess we can’t even do that.

Again, I’m not disagreeing that both parties commit campaign finance fraud. What I’m saying is that the way in which the two parties did so as outlined in the articles is not the same.

Correct. Just like the linked story from seven days where the lt gov from NY was arrested for taking state money and funneling it to a developer for campaign donations. It happens in all magnitudes for both parties.
