If you think Soros is spending $100 million to just "get people to the polls" I have a ocean front lot in Arizona to sell you.

Karl Rove has ALREADY gotten nearly $400 million from his corporate buddies on K Street just for Crossroads America alone and the total take for "conservative" Super-Pac's is approaching a BILLION DOLLARS.

But, that's not something to worry about is it?
Some kind of link with this info would be nice. Do you have one?

The "true believers" on both sides will not carry this election for either candidate. It will take the undecided's, those in the middle, to do that and your plan helps Romney the most because he's the one working against the natural advantage an incumbent has.

There are times in the history of this country when people have to come down on on side or the other, when fence-straddling won't cut it. This is one of those times.

The issue is clear and the choice stark: A form of socialism wherein The People still retain their power to change course over time if they want, or a corporate oligarchy where The People only have control over local issues with national and international issues being decided by unelected and unaccountable corporate "stakeholders."

Which world do you want your children, grand-children and great-grandkids to grow up in?
I see that old Spooky Dude isn't the only one very worried right now. Does it feel good to be so worried about corporations controlling things?

I'm sure he thinks Obama can do even more damage to the American way of life with a second term.
$100 Million for Grassroots Efforts defined as for Government Union Workers and to pay for signing up people who are not supposed to vote like that last election.

I'm sure this is what Soros money is buying..............

Maria Agosto ducked into the back of an Orthodox church in Childs Park, Fla., pulling her hand-knitted pink scarf tighter as she settled in for three hours of protester training camp. It was early March in St. Petersburg, Fla.
A slender man in his mid-30s introduced himself as Grommit. It was not his real name.

“Doing direct actions changes something in your soul,†Grommit said. “It changes how you perceive yourself.â€
Once, he had been a radical activist, climbing trees and cranes to drop banners for organizations like Earth First and the Ruckus Society. Now he had a wife, a 2-year-old, a paycheck he didn’t want to risk. Instead, he educated protesters.
“I try to prepare people for what they are getting into.â€
The Republican National Convention is the protesting big leagues. The police and the Secret Service will aggressively keep order. Penalties will be more severe. Several antiwar protesters from the 2008 Republican National Convention were charged with terrorism.
“You must decide who is going to be arrestable,†Grommit said.

Absolutely. As you should know by now, I don't make accusations without proof from unbiased sources to back it (you and the other right wingers should try it some time )

"The billionaire industrialist brothers David and Charles Koch plan to steer more than $200 million — potentially much more — to conservative groups ahead of Election Day"

Karl Rove vs. the Koch brothers - Kenneth P. Vogel - POLITICO.com

Also as noted in the link, the SppOOOooOOkY dude Rove plans to bring 240 million himself for the right wingers.

Aaaah, right wing fascism at it's finest,...

Now, those Tea Baggers elected in 2010 are facing up-hill battles.
