Discussion: FEC Chair Tells 'Daily Show' The Commission Is 'Enormously Dysfunctional' (VIDEO)

Discussion for article #242791

"I would say that the FEC and men’s nipples are probably comparable.¨

That is a wonderful, and sad, analogy.

Why can’t they fix it?

IIRC, the FEC has an equal number of Dems and Pukes, and it requires a majority vote to move ahead on campaign finance issues. Obviously partisanship trumps (aaakk!) good governance. If they do move forward, their fines are miniscule, and usually come years after the campaigns, successful or not, are over. Either way, there’s no entity to collect those fines from.

Our broken system of government by oligarchs hard at not working.
