    No I am complaining that the thread is not treating the issue of campaign funding equally concerning Republicans and Democrats.

    As far as the view of ACLU I simply said the final call is the courts and not the ACLU.
    But the relevance is that the actual is pointing out flaws, and those flaws are reason enough to not support it. As for the different treatment, that is because democrats kept taking "principled" stands before being hypocrites. Republicans see this as a speech issue and therefore are not hypocrites on this issue.

            They both still use the same campaign funding according to the law.

              They are, but if one group of people is saying it's wrong and doing it, that's different than the other group saying it's ok and doing it. It's not a scandal if a democrat has a secret gay relationship, but if a republican who is campaigning against gay marriage and calling gay people evil and degenerate is doing so, it's a pretty big deal, even if both relationships are legal.

                      It's not a big deal to say that it should be outlawed, but still do it until it is outlawed.

                      To put it another way, it may be wrong for both sides to accept dark money, but it would be even more wrong if only the Republicans could accept dark money.

                          I do understand your rationalization of the hypocrisy, but that doesn't make it not hypocritical.

                            What you don't appear to understand is the definition of hypocrisy.

                              Saying one thing, and doing the exact opposite? Like, decrying dark money then using it?

                                Do you have a source for that definition?
