Default citizens united

the supreme court decision left it to congress to establish donor disclosure.

everyone with a brain understood that would be problematic once you unlocked the gates of unlimited anonymous money into political campaigns.

why is the "smartest guy" complaining? other than he doesn't have enough backing from anonymous donor pac's?

i agree with him. just wish he had spoken up earlier at a personally less convienent and more meaningful time.

That's laughably amazing, because just a couple weeks ago, he was saying Citizens' United was no big deal, and fair

Mitt's "not-associated-with-me except for relatives and former employees" anonymous, unlimited-money PAC destroyed him. Not that he couldn't do that himself, but yeah, it was ugly.

If you didn't see the previous post I made last week, Wyoming Supreme Court has outlawed Citizen's United type PACS in Wyoming.
