Yesterday, we find out the IRS is being used as a partisan weapon.  Anyone in DC knows the reform groups have been trying to use the FEC as a partisan weapon for years.  The Republicans on the FEC have just bought a billboard to advertise and put the legions of “reform groups” on notice that they are not going to let it happen. In an op-ed, they write:

“When Congress created the FEC, it did not design an agency that could
be wielded as a partisan weapon; instead, the agency is required to be
equally divided, with, at most, three of its six members from the same
party. Thus, the FEC is designed to ensure fair and impartial regulation
and administration of campaign finance laws — not partisan or
ideological witch hunts.”

And this:

The agency’s harshest critics disregard the agency’s prime enforcement
directive: Enforce the law as it is, not as some wish it to be.
