I actually think this was a very good and proper decision by the FEC. Regarding a candidate raising funds for an election where he is not eligible for the seat in question, they said the law in question did not allow them the discretion to incorporate eligibility in that case. Where the law allowed them such discretion regarding matching funds, they took the simple facts before them and reached the rational conclusion.

Imagine that - bureaucrats operating within the powers granted them by law instead of seizing powers not bestowed to them, like we see all the time with agenda-driven departments such as the EPA.

Folks should be applauding the FEC for this ruling. But instead, because the slimeballs at WND wanted to spin this for their own agenda, folks who don't research further get all hot under the collar and get the entirely wrong impression of what happened.

Watch your back -- when I said this upthread, I was essentially called a Nazi (see post #29).
