"At issue: Did the money that the group routed to North Carolina come only from individuals or did it include corporate money, in violation of North Carolina law?
There are Democrats. Of course it includes corporate money, as well as money stolen from union membership dues against their will, which technically becomes corporate funds after it is pooled together, send to their national offices and/or affiliate groups, and then and donated to the Democrat they are supporting.
And lets not forget foreigners who, acting as a of CEO of some offshore compamy, make donations, buying future political favors.
This is the same stuff that Democrats accused Tom DeLay of doing when he didn’t. Republicans were more careful, but we essentially live in a glass house on this one. There are all sorts of shenanigans used by both parties to launder corporate money and get it legally into campaigns.
