Both sides of this discussion are providing fabulous examples of why we so desperately need to get money out of politics as much as possible.

Well that is just insane.

Next thing you will be suggesting is that they should pass a budget in Congress.

Just look at the demographics. Look at all the "rich" places in the US. You have California, New York, the Eastern coast states, Chicago area etc. These are all liberal havens.

I was reading once where all the top CEO's graduate from. Mostly they come from left winged states like New York and Chicago and Harvard etc. The far left has taken over Wall Street, and with firm control of the media no one seems to notice.

I didn't know that 'Harvard' was a state?

EXPLOSIVE REPORT: OBAMA CAMPAIGN WEBSITE LACKS IMPORTANT TOOL TO PREVENT ILLEGAL DONATIONS
October 8, 2012 by Mytheos Holt

This past Thursday, TheBlaze teased a potential scandal surrounding President Obama’s donors.
Now, we might know what that scandal is.
According to a report by the conservative nonprofit Government Accountability Institute (GAI), and an explosive series of stories on Breitbart.com and the Daily Caller,
the Obama campaign website appears to be built with an uncharacteristic lack of security where foreign donations are concerned.

Despite donations from foreign sources being illegal under Federal law, all campaigns, whether at the congressional level or the presidential level, have insufficient security to prevent these donations, according to the GAI Report.
The problem afflicts an alarming number of politicians, across all parties.

However, for reasons that remain unclear, the Obama campaign stands apart from its peers in its lack of security preventing these donations.
The most dangerous vulnerabilities for the campaign appear to lie in two separate channels – specifically, the website Obama.com, and the lack of a requirement that users input CCV codes when donating online through their credit cards.

To begin with, Obama.com is owned by Shanghai executive and former Chicago resident Robert Roche, a powerful Obama bundler with enough financial clout to break bread with the President, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and even Chinese President Hu Jintao, at the same time.
Breitbart elaborates on Roche:


In 2011, Mr. Roche obtained one of the most sought-after pieces of real estate in Washington, DC: a seat at the head table for President Obama’s State Dinner for Chinese President Hu Jintao.
How Roche—a man whose infomercial company hawks fitness equipment, cell phones, and breast enhancement products
—landed a seat alongside Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former President Bill Clinton, Sen. John Kerry, former President Jimmy Carter, and Chinese President Hu Jintao remains unclear.

Since 2009, White House Visitor Logs list the name Robert Roche at least 19 times, despite the fact Mr. Roche’s primary residence is in China.

Mr. Roche, who is originally from Chicago, is a co-chair of the Technology Initiative for the Obama campaign.

According to Acorn International’s prospectus, the success of Mr. Roche’s company hinges on maintaining access to state-run media
and “preferential tax treatments and subsidies” doled out by the People’s Republic of China (PRC).​

EXPLOSIVE REPORT: Obama Campaign Website Lacks Important Tool to Prevent ILLEGAL DONATIONS

^^ Damn are you stupid

Ironically, it is conservative blogger Erick Erickson of RedState.com and CNN, who best demonstrates that the Obama campaign does not accept contributions from foreign donors. In a potentially illegal attempt to provide a point, Erickson acknowledges that he falsely claimed to be Boris Noridnikova of Moscow, Russia and attempted to donate $5 to the Obama campaign online. After giving a fake passport number, the contribution was ultimately rejected after a few days of processing.
The lack of scandal in this report does not, however, mean that foreign nationals may not be influencing U.S. elections. The Center for Public Integrity reported Friday that Restore Our Future, the pro-Romney super PAC, accepted a $1 million contribution from OdysseyRe of Connecticut, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Canadian insurance and investment management giant Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited. Thanks to the Supreme Court’s 5-4 Citizens United ruling, this is legal — as long as no foreign nationals direct the spending.

Why The Obama Foreign Donation 'Scandal' Is Pure Fiction

When it comes to donations if you look closely the Koch brothers are way down the list. Currently 59th on the Open Secrets list.

Democrats have been getting massive offerings from big-time donors, yet they've been telling us that the GOP is the party of the rich. Turns out it's the Democrats.

Yet another lie the Dems have been pushing down our throats.

I have a problem with both the democrats and the republicans. Both have been bought by big money and both hold the monopoly on power and won't let it go/

Proportional Representation is the only way to get democracy back in the USA.

Most in Hollywood lean to the left. Some who have admitted that they were conservative have been literally drummed out of the business.

The richest member in Congress is Nancy Pelosi. (Wonder how she got all of that money)

Many of the richest districts in the country are all leaning Democrat.

So, like the big lie on Obamacare, if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor, so is the lie that the GOP is the party of the rich, because statistics show it's really Democrats.

Obama and Mark Zuckerberg

Your post is both a lie and the truth.

Democrats just like Republicans just like Libertarians and whoever else all have to get donations to run (knowledge is not an issue, paying media is today) You are correct on that. I tend to believe media will follow the candidates the people want to hear if we take money out of politics, but I'm smart.

What you have to look at is what donations the politician accepts.

Last primary election, the biggest donors on the Right Wing (Romney) were; Banks, Coal, Military Defense Contractors, Casinos, Big Oil, Toxic waste disposal, etc

Basically, when voting, simply look at the donors. Not the politician. Politicians are always puppets for their donors. That's a long documented proven fact.
