They have to lie. The truth makes their assertions a lie, ergo, whatever they do, they stay away from truth.

They were under the impression that Dems cant raise that type of money.

Anyway, I find it funny that President Obama changes position on one thing and he's being called a "flip flopper?" LMFAO

Although I understand the reasoning behind President Obama's decision, I am a little disappointed that he felt it necessary to go this route.

Oh, well. Maybe this is one case where the ends justifies the means. With President Obama's re-election, we can continue to work at getting Citizens United overturned. The future make up of the Supreme Court will have a lot to do with that and we have to have a Democratic president filling seats that are likely to come open in the next couple of years for that to happen.
Amazing isnt

The President had taken the high road, the GOP the low road ... for ever so long. "leveling the playing field" is the appropriate thing to do. Given the rhetoric of the extremists in the GOP. The President hasn't flip flopped. He's playing the game by the rules others have dictated. Good for him.

Because if the Rank and File Republicans got wind of what they actually talk about and how they REALLY feel about the people they're trying to get to vote for their candidate, the Republican Party would implode into a million bits.

Nobody is complaining, I'm simply pointing out his flip flopping on this issue since citizens united seems to be a popular left wing talking point.
He still wants citizens united overturned. But is he supposed to operate under a different set of rules in the meantime? I don't get what the flip flop is.

And ultimately, what control does he have over SuperPAC support of him?

Personally, I won't give a dime to any of them (except Colbert's of course!). I think it's horrible that our country has come to this.

I assume you meant that all candidates taking SuperPAC money, including the GOP clowns out there campaigning as well, are all bought and paid for by special interests. If not, your post is meaningless and without warrant.

Double standard, eh?

I object to Oblama and the filthy Democrats' abject hypocrisy on the issue.

Not surprised in the least that you don't care where they get their filthy money.
