The Supreme Court on Friday endorsed a request from Republican campaign groups that want to buy discounted TV advertising for this year’s midterms, the latest in a series of emergency rulings from the high court benefiting the GOP.
The decision effectively upholds guidance issued by the Federal Communications Commission in March that allowed the campaign arms of House and Senate Republicans to pay lower ad rates that were previously reserved only for candidates.
The court’s order will primarily benefit Republicans, who generally raise more money through party committees than Democrats.
Is this even “cheating” per say? This is literally a court decision.
Dems could play the same game. They have a number of enormous media markets in solid Blue states and could make all sorts of annoying and vexous rules to drive up Republican campaign costs.
But one party plays to win. The other only plays for fun, I guess.
yah good point, it seems like cheating only because it appears one side as you put it is trying to win at every cost, and the other side is just apathetic…its just sad.
repeat after me, controlled opposition
with a few exceptions aipac is spending billions making sure it stays that way
