Twitter Twits

So, when Republicans violate campaign laws, they prefer to do it right out in the open just because they freekin’ can.

Republicans and outside groups used anonymous Twitter accounts to share internal polling data ahead of the midterm elections, CNN has learned, a practice that raises questions about whether they violated campaign finance laws that prohibit coordination.

Well, call me an angel and stick me on top of a tree because I am here to tell you that there is absolutely no question whatsoever that it violated campaign finance laws.

imagesHell, you can get a secret decoder ring, send it by Morse code, talk in pig latin, or use Navajo code talkers, it’s still sharing data and information and that’s against the law.

The law says that outside groups, such as super PACs and non-profits, can spend freely on political causes as long as they don’t coordinate their plans with campaigns. Sharing costly internal polls in private, for instance, could signal to the campaign committees where to focus precious time and resources.

So, with a little twit wink, Republicans made Citizen’s United even more of a farce.

These are some damn creepy people, y’all.
