I feel like things are so bad is Warren the only politician who thinks this is wrong? The GOP hate this because they can't run their mouths since they've been doing the same thing with every recent rep president and if they do they will be agreeing with someone who may be a candidate for Obamas office in 2016.

We don't have elections any more, just jumble sales, where the dark money buys whichever pol promises them the moon.

Imagine the savings to the tax payer if elections are sponsored by the Koch Bros. Inc and Soros Inc. We could then have live music, hot dogs & beer, heck a county fair like atmosphere where people could bring their kids and dogs. I will bet 80% or more of the electorate will participate. If you could include religious sermons and gun shows, probably 99%.

Add some NASCAR and it'd be 100%. Make the candidates wear their sponsors logos.

You've got an idea Bob. Candidates need to be in either Elephant or Donkey costumes and logos so they cannot talk nor do we need to look at them.

Just to keep this conversation real. Compare campaign expenditures, including 'dark money' and it's real easy to see who's got an enormous advantage. It ain't the jackasses my friends.
