        Alleged free speech advocate uses opinion page of WSJ to claim using money to silence politically damaging character information about a political candidate during a political campaign should not be considered political spending.

        An FEC Chairman who supports the Citizens United brand of campaign finance regulation. You'll excuse me if I take his opinion on under the table political actions with a grain of salt.

        I'm not sure this is new. Wasn't John Edwards indicted for having someone pay off his mistress?

        Yes he was. That’s when the precedent was set; not now. While Edwards was found not guilty on 1 count & the other charges were dropped, the scandal ended his political career. After all, who would vote for someone that cheated on his convalescing wife? I guess we know now.

        This administration is rife with 'bad precedents'. Is he making a mockery of the office or redefing a new template? I seriously can't decide.
