14. The two Republicans on the commission ...
... opposed regulating the Democratic groups.

On philosophical, not partisan, grounds, two of the Republican commissioners -- Chairman Bradley A. Smith and David M. Mason -- voted against regulation of the Democratic groups, rejecting pressure from the RNC. "If Republicans think they can win by silencing their opponents, they are wrong," said Smith, and "they are going to deserve to lose."

I guess there are some 'liberal' thinkers in the conservative camp.
