Discussion for article #245476
Instead of using your money to build maybe a school, or a hospital, you jacks offs attempt to buy elections. How did that go for you the last two presidential elections?
Send more to jeb, why don’t you?
One more thing, TAX THE MO-F’ING RICH!!
Corruption used to be sort of covert, now it is overt and contributors are even bragging about it!
Money isn’t speech. Money is a megaphone.
Until we do something about this, very few problems will get meaningful reform.
As always (and if you can) FOLLOW THE MONEY.
Rubio is the chosen tool of the Right-Wing Oligarchs. They see him as a “Useful Idiot” who will DO AS HE IS TOLD (unlike the thoroughly reviled Theocratic Fascist Cruz, or the Unpredictable-Egomaniac Trump.)
They think that his Hispanic name and history will help with the Latino vote (not understanding how most Latino’s feel about Cuban anti-revolutionaries) and view his relative “unknown” status with most Republicans as a positive. To them he is just willing clay they think can be molded into a new George W. Bush.
The Left-Wing Oligarchs view Hillary with suspicion, but as “someone they can work with” and far, far, far superior to the “raving socialist” Sanders (their words, not mine) who threatens their social/fiscal/political supremacy with every speech.
Bucket loads.
These people make me sick.
And this is why all federal election should be federally funded.
Buying elections one SuperPAC at a time…compliments of the SupremeCorporation K-RATS.
There is one person who knows who the “shadowy figures” are behind the SuperPacs, and that would be the politician him(her)self. Otherwise, how would these ghostly apparitions benefit from their largesse?
but …but the left has that evil soros and the dirty unions funding them…and we cant have that…
Anyone who thinks these guys aren’t communicating with their respective campaigns is naive, just as any of them who think that their transparent lawbreaking is some secret is even more naive.
The only reason they get away with it is because no one has prosecuted anyone YET.
Citizens United generated this ongoing Big Lie, now they are living it as if there are no consequences for breaking the law.
Unless some courageous authority figure they don’t yet own decides it is worth the personal and professional risk to take these creeps to court, they will continue living in their separate legal reality, confident no authority can make them adhere to the basic and most honorable traditions of electoral democracy.
Who needs honorable traditions when you own the world?
Just the thought these men think they are above the law the rest of us suffer makes me resent Wall Street even more.
…also contributed $85,000 to Conservative Solutions…
… an organization that specializes in unicorns and magic ponies.
After 2016, I’d say that this strategy will backfire on the GOP bigtime. The more money that’s poured into the coffers of bottom feeding losers like Huckabee, Paul, etc. and scuzzy scammers like Carson makes it harder for whatever passes for the GOP establishment to get a foothold in the race until way late in the game. If at all.
Of course, anything that slaps the grin off that nasty face works for me
Fucking disgusting. So much for “government in the sunshine”…more like “gov’t in the oligarch’s back pockets.”
There’s gotta be a way to scam these dudes out of a good chunk of money if they are willing to throw it around so freely to the shit candidates that will hold water for them.
Who is the guy in the picture? I can’t tell.
If the guy in the photo has so much money, why is he wearing such an ill fitting button down shirt? The shoulder is too wide and the armholes are down below his boobs, creating a breast cupping effect, and excess draping in the pits. NOT HOT.
I vote for Kate McKinnon to play this man (in photo) in the SNL slimy donors skit. PLEASE. Just give her a bald wig, some nutty wire frames and that size XXXXL shirt.
(she was great as Lindsey Graham if you missed it…looked a little bit like Hayley Mills-as-LG but it worked for me)
Just because they have too much money, doesn’t mean they have any class!
