Illegally funneling money into a political campaign.
But yeah what Lt. governor did in ny was much worse… giving favors to developers in exchange for campaign donations hurts public trust more than illegally funneling your own money into a campaign.

Correct. Just like the linked story from seven days where the lt gov from NY was arrested for taking state money and funneling it to a developer for campaign donations. It happens in all magnitudes for both parties.

The post I replied to said “It’s always GOP scumbag”.
It should be pretty agreeable that both parties commit campaign finance violations but I guess we can’t even do that.

Okay great. Both parties commit campaign finance violations. To attribute it to one party is pretty stupid. Not that hard to follow.

Yeah I did. Both are campaign finance violations. Did you read the New York Times article? Giving favors and state money to developers in exchange for campaign donations is probably worse than illegally throwing your own money at a race that you can’t win.
Don’t pretend like both parties don’t break campaign finance laws.

Pretty easy to hammer the right on their polices or election fraud lies if you want. No need to lie yourself

Not to mention the New York Times article linked in the story, where a democrat does a similar thing in New York.

Nope, Vermonts always been in the back half of the top 10. I used to think what you did but realized it was probably the superiority complex I think a lot of Vermonters have.
