I have a followup question. If a station were to continue giving the Coleman campaign the low rate, could the difference between the low rate and the standard rate be seen as a campaign contribution? And if that was the case, couldn't the station get in legal trouble for giving those contributions? The law states that the candidate “shall not” receive the low rate. I have a followup question.

And remember, theier explanation for ol' Smokescreen's RentGate scandal, is that violation is no big deal either. <a href="http://www.mnblue.com/node/1021" rel="nofollow">republiCons</a>, who claim to be of "The Party of Law And Order", sure don't seem to mind overlooking technicalities when they are the ones that are breaking the law. These instances simply show, once again, why GOP now stands for GreedOverPrinciples. Rhus, that’s true.

republiCons, who claim to be of “The Party of Law And Order”, sure don’t seem to mind overlooking technicalities when they are the ones that are breaking the law.

These instances simply show, once again, why GOP now stands for GreedOverPrinciples.

Maybe they broke a technicality of the law, but when I watch the ad in question, it doesn't seem unfair or illegal.
