O.K. based upon how much money you have or are trying to win an election. I'm glad those are your arguments and not mine.

Uhhh no. That is the rationale of the system being used. And the right wing is the big player.

Look, I understand that politics trump principle and fairness with you. You don't have to keep on enforcing that idea.

You understand no such thing. You don't get to tell me what I think or make your own straw man. We presently have a system dominated by right wing expenditures through political committees that should be illegal. That is simply a fact.

And it is a shortcoming of the present government that they don't fix it. And they don't fix it because both sides use it.

Re-read what you just posted... Slowly and entirely. Hint, your looking for double negatives

We are doomed

Neither do I. I simply see a refusal to see things as they are.

It's all the GOP's fault but the Dems do nothing to change it because they love it.

Yes, I see the squirrel.

Again no. It is the fault of the government which in the present case consists of a democratic President, A Democratic controlled Senate and a House of Representatives clearly controlled by the Republicans.

That is the "they" who won't fix it.
