Reply #15: Look, I have run for office... Including Congress....

I know the laws... I agree with you that the exact rules that were broken by Delay are fr more egregious... But what I saw for Jeff was a fine levied for failure to file a return... that is not a bookkeeping error...

What I am saying is that people out there, out in the non political junkie world, don't know from the law... All they will see is the infractions, the fines and the fact that Jeff, in their minds, is just like all the rest...

One of the first rules of politics is to make sure all your legal requirements are met... The enemies are looking over your shoulder..

And yes I have been following the rules on Delay and I know that it is a laundering case that is in violation of State Laws and not federal Statue as Jeff's are... I also know that Jeff's violations are clear cut and that the charges brought against Delay are going to be hard to convict upon... Proving that specific money was laundered is difficult under the best of circumstance and almost impossible under the worst...

BTW, LALA LA LA LA to you... I have probably forgotten more about campaign finance rules and regulations than most anyone on this board knows... I have been at this game for over a dozen years, as a treasurer, and never had an infraction filed against me or any of my candidates.....
