Is it standard practice to say someone is trying to buy an election while your side is also accepting donations from rich guys who one could just as easily characterize as trying the buy the election?

If you don't see that as hypocrisy, then you don't understand the meaning of the word.

Have you stopped to consider that all those "penny ante" donations, doubled, add up to a lot of money?

Only half of which Soros has to provide?

I doubt that you thought it through.

When did Soros proclaim that he's the one who's going to match those funds?

Got news for you, the Koch Btrs didn't cast all of those votes for Scott Walker in the Wisconsin recall election. No boogy man there, just fed up, tax paying, middle income electorate, sick of Democratic ineptitude and chicanery. Sorry for all of the big words.

They're flat out buying the election, matching funds be damned.
