Leveling the playing field

[bigrebnc1775]

And THAT was the first time that happened, right? Bush certainly didn't have money coming in from fuck-all everywhere. Right?

I don't know, but probably bush had some big money supporters but you obama supporters are acting as if this is new with obama and soros

 

[g5000]

Because why should the Koch boys have all the fun?

You seem to be buying into the meme that the Left is spending so much money because they have no choice. As if labor unions would never spend millions on campaigns if they had a choice.

What a rube!

You act as if soros did not contribute millions to obama in 2008

He couldn't. There was a limit.

What a rube!

As for the U.S. 2008 presidential race, Mr. Soros, who gave $18 million to Democratic advocacy groups seeking to defeat President Bush in 2004, said he supported Barack Obama. But he also said he would support Hillary Clinton if she won the Democratic nomination.

Billionaire financier George Soros has donated $1 million to the left-leaning super PAC American Bridge, a source with the organization said Monday.

The donation marks the first major foray into the 2012 presidential race for Soros, a high-profile supporter of President Barack Obama. In 2008 Soros helped the president raise a record amount of campaign cash.

The problem isn’t Citizens United or the funds being spent, the problem is voters who refuse to research the issues, educate themselves as to the facts of those issues, and vote accordingly.

Exactly.

…the massive Republican super-PAC-funded negative television ad bombs…

Negative ads which would have no effect on well-informed, educated voters.

You have to understand that the liberal mindset believes Americans are child-like mildly retarded beings who require a nanny state to look out for their best interests.

George Soros and Other Rich Guys to Infuse Democrats With $100 Million for Grass-Roots Efforts -- Daily Intel

Billionaire investor George Soros will be supplying $2 million to independent Democratic groups focused on grass-roots election efforts as part of a greater donor initiative to enhance outreach and voter registration operations. Soros will divide his donation equally between America Votes, a group that provides coordination and campaign support to progressive organizations; and American Bridge 21st Century, a super-PAC that focuses on communications and election-oriented research. Soros's contribution will be part of a nearly $100 million boost from other major liberal donors to like-minded causes and efforts. According to a New York Times report, Soros and others are pledging funds to grass-roots-type groups in part because they don't believe they can match the massive Republican super-PAC-funded negative television ad bombs, but also as a symbolic rejection of the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision, which gave birth to super-PACs that may spend on campaigns without limits.

So you never noticed Soros's involvement in the DNC since he helped form MoveOn.org in the late 1990's? You think he's a newcomer to this? Shit, the Koch Bros. are in comparison to this old school political manipulator. You can't HELP but trip over his money or people in almost every single liberal group and party since 1994.

This is like being surprised that Ford built cars.

I thought libtards wanted the evil 1%ers to stay away from campaign financing. I guess it's only the opposition 1%ers that is supposed to stay away, huh.

Sanity would dictate that Citizens United be overturned. But sanity and politics are seldom in the same room.

It's at the top of my wish list.

At the top of my wish list is that people would be honest. Soros has been funneling millions into the Dems for over a decade. Now, it's an issue for the Dems because the GOP have billionaires funneling to them now.

It's the hypocrisy of the issue that makes me laugh.

Yeah. There's never been a Teamster-owned politician. Ever. There's never been a Congressman in the pocket of the AFL-CIO. Naaaaah. Never happened! This Citizens United thing has unleashed a monster...somehow. Now we will have owned politicians for the first time ever. And they will all be owned by eevul corprashuns.

You mean the SC ruled on it in 2010. The SC isn't a legislatature. It doesn't "pass" anything.
