Universal GOP NO to Campaign finance ad disclosure. I wonder why that would be.

Yep, they should also disclose the route the donor's children take to walk to and from school. I say cut out the middle-man and just E-Mail their names, addresses and places of work/business right over to SEIU.

I happen to believe the doner's names and amounts should be posted on a public web site for all to observe. I also believe corporations should not be allowed to contribute even if they are considered citizens.

No, I guess it isn't a good idea to let people know who is trying to brainwash them with TV ads. After all, people may take offense and quit buying the products the brain washers sell, and that would be, gasp, bad for business.

Who gives what to whom should be nobody's business if this country is to remain to be free. You should be able to give to whatever you want without telling anybody who you are. I also do not care to see the tax forms of the candidates. Why don't people start thinking for themselves and acting on what they believe instead of being so concerned about money?

Now there is something I would like to know. I would like to know which idiot congressman or woman put a tag on the defense spending bill that would give money to illegals to go to college. Our military should be able to get funding without paying money to traitors and criminals.

Too true, money spent on TV ads in elections, has no impact on who people choose to vote for. The American people are much too wise to be led around by such doings. Obviously they would not be susceptible to repeated lies about one candidate or another.

Or even for the foreign governments that seem to have no problems funding our campaigns once the software is modified to accept foreign money. At least "John Galt" and "Ayn Rand Lane“ were duly noted as being contributors to the 2008 Obama campaign.

I think anyone should be allowed to donate almost anything they want, as long as every penny from every individual is immediately posted online and available to everyone.

No 501(c)4s or phony cut-out organizations allowed for people to hide behind...George Soros and the Koch brothers would have to document all monies.
