Most People Don

Teach your kids, parents, brothers,sisters etc. What a Super Pac is!

One aspect of a Super PAC is that extremely rich people from around the world can funnel money through a Super PAC to support a candidate and nobody knows who they are or what country they’re from. They can and do funnel literally millions per individual, or per corporation, or any other kind of group, into these secret PACs.

You can bet the candidates do know who is contributing to their candidacy by purchasing ads, commercials, and mailers that tout the candidate to the voting public. These rich guys don’t hand over millions in one electronic transfer just for the fun of it. They want something in return. In order to be sure they get something in return, the candidate must know where the money came from. Does that make sense?

Some people love their country, and $10 million may be a small price to pay to prevent hurricane Obama from getting a second term.

Well, unions poured millions upon millions into Obama's '08 campaign and they got paid back through the theft of GM.

Obama has the moral compass? Is that why he gave billions to GE so they can offshore jobs?

THAT is one of the funniest things I've ever read on C-D!!!!

Is that why Obama co-sponsored a bill (WARN Act) and got it passed 5 years ago that he NOW has decided he doesn't have to follow?
