The Federal Election Commission deadlocked in a crucial Internet campaign speech vote announced late last week, leaving online political blogging and videos free of many of the reporting requirements attached to broadcast ads — for now.

The FEC is worthless anyway. Doesn’t get proper attention on Rat voter intimidation (black panthers at the polls, goon squads roaming neighborhoods during “knock and drag” efforts to force minorities to the polls, union pressure,...), illegal foreign contributions to the Obama and Clinton campaigns, illegal lotteries “win a date with Barry” during the 2008 and 2012 elections, voter fraud, tire slashing of GOP get out the vote vans, shutting off power to GOP campaign offices on election day, etc.

Bit late to give a damn now.
