Quote:But since it isn't, targeting one group and making sure they can't get that advantage while clearly giving it wholesale to their opposite number - do I really need to spell it out further? Isn't the advantage for "progressive" groups obvious? Isn't it obvious that the 2012 election was influenced greatly by the amount of money that Tax Exempt 501 groups - on the Left - could use, and that conservative groups like the Tea Party were hobbled?
...Um, no.
No, it's not obvious at all. It is, in fact, directly contrary to every bit of credible evidence and testimony I've seen on the subject.
Obama's campaign and its supporters were just flat better at raising money. I know that this runs counter to the traditional strengths and weaknesses of the party campaign structures, but given the increasing alienation of the entire non-Old WASP demographic sector from the Republican message, it is not merely possible, but expectable.
The actions of some minor bureaucrats whose duties were assigned under the Bush Administration is really irrelevant to that.
