Hell, the PVF alone spends more than $20 million on an election year these days. I have zero doubt that they try to skirt laws by doing this. However, it's extremely difficult to prove and I don't begrudge them doing so. Do I wish it didn't happen? Sure, but I can't blame them for taking advantage of something like our lax campaign finance laws. What irritates me is the people that will deny they do this, but during a discussion on government funded abortions will claim that because of the money being within the same organization at Planned Parenthood, it still pays for them even if the funds never touch on paper. It's the same sort of accounting shuffling that gets done to keep this funding separate. To me, as long as an organization is following the law, GAAP, and FAS, then I'm not going to blame the organization for looking for an upper hand when there is one. Doesn't mean I won't try to change the law. |
