The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity
Without waiting until it writes new rules to carry out the Supreme Court’s controversial January ruling lifting campaign finance curbs, the Federla Election Commission on Thursday approved formation of two new groups that will raise and spend unlimited amounts of money to try to directly influence congressional elections this year. One of the new groups is an offshoot of a Republican-leaning organization that has raised and spent millions in federal elections in recent years; the other is an entirely new group formed by individuals long associated with Democratic campaigns. There was a lone dissent as the five other FEC members approved both.

…In better and completely related news, Futurama is back on. Yay for the exceptions that prove the rule (that television sucks)!

Typical that the article tries to display a group of a couple of wealthy individuals who want to help Democrats as equal to the Club of Growth. The Citizen's United decision doesn't help both parties equally, it's a boon thrown to the Big Business types behind the GOP by the Conservative SCOTUS. Unfortunately, the netroots and the unions will never be able to match the Republican special interests friends.
