It's absolutely sickening. Big corporations, lobbyists, political consulting firms, etc., ca make up fake organizations, set up fake websites and funnel any amount of money from any anonymous source into any campaign they want, to buy influence over the public and, by extension, buy their way into Congress. And SCOTUS has said it's just fine for it to be a Big Fat F**king Secret from the public, where this money is coming from.

I'm sure you said the same things when Obama got all those millions donated to his campaign from foreign sources and nobody was allowed to know where it came from.

that's why we should eliminate all private/corporat funding of campaigns
I want public funding..each candidate get the exact same amount. and then runs on their own merits
"Obama said the Republican effort to block a vote on the Democrats’ proposal to end the practice in the Citizens United case is “politics at its worst.”
The president said the Supreme Court “overturned decades of law and precedent" when it ruled that federal laws limiting corporate or labor union campaign contributions improperly restricts free speech. "It gave the special interests the power to spend without limit — and without public disclosure — to run ads in order to influence elections,” Obama said."
This is the distinguishing characteristic of 501c4s like MoveOn and the sewage SCOTUS spewed all over the populace. And you know what? I say we give these effers a taste of their own medicine and see how they like it. I bet they pitch a holy FIT when Democrats start playing this game and beating them at it.

Obama is a cry baby. He wants to stop what was so successful for him until he's up for election again. What a POS that asswipe is.
Known and disclosed entities whose donors are a matter of public record.
Now anyone from anywhere can go to Godaddy.com, buy stock photos, create a shell website and start spending unlimited amounts of money from completely anonymous sources, including foreign governments. No disclosure required.
This is thanks to the REPUBLICANS on the Supreme Court and you're whining about Democrats?? GMAFB.
