GOP cynicism and 527s.
Rich Lowry of The National Review argues, correctly, that both political parties have been brimming with hypocrisy when it comes to campaign finance reform. How tempting it is to use your government power to try to silence your opponents rather than engage them in the true give and take of political debate. If the politicians in both parties wanted to do us all a favor, they would remove all limits on political donations to campaigns, as long as they come from Americans, and list every single one on a freely available website for all to see. What is needed is transparency, not more controls.
