Are we supposed to be up in arms about this?
> 66 different federal political action campaigns (PACs), nearly half of which are supporting Republicans.
Seems balanced to me.

  Balanced, sure. Why is 50/50 ethically coherent?

    One party does not have an indisputable claim on being ethical.
    Both of our political parties have done highly unethical things.
    Without getting into a bunch of hot-button political fights, I'll just say: Different people prioritize different issues and the parties (and their politicians) each have a lot to be ashamed of.

    Maybe one party doesn't have the claim to being ethical, but one party (Republicans) have an indisputable claim on being unethical.

    No, but one party does have a disputable claim on being ethical. The other party doesn't even have a disputable claim any more.
