[QUOTE="LarryBird, post: 4094921, member: 76548"] Do you really think this is news? I mean, like actual important news? Are you seriously making a big deal over $3500 worth of campaign finance transgressions? I'd be very surprised if the vast majority of politicians, on both sides, didn't have at least $5000 worth of iffy financial "mistakes", or unaccounted spending, or whatever. That's like petty cash for a large campaign. It's the large and potentially nefarious campaign finance transactions we need to worry about. If we're gonna start doing forensic auditing on these people for laughs, and trying to hold them to that standard, we're gonna find out pretty quickly it isn't very funny. Because it's everywhere and every one of them. They've got to be given a little leeway for honest mistakes or oversights, and just plain ignorance of the campaign finance standards. I would say the same if this was a republican, so this has nothing to do with party favoritism. [/QUOTE]
