The 'disturbing' rise of super PACs: By the numbers

Buh-bye democracy!!

The direction of the country is decided by a relatively few, wealthy, partisan super-PACS. You and I are not represented. Change it, and think for yourselves, or accept it and don't expect any change.

Who says elections can't be bought?

This elections is brought to you by _______.

It will take a SCOTUS reversal to stop SPACS. NEVER HAPPEN in our lifetime!

Constitutional amendment to end this #$%$ and fast.

super PACS equal super corruption

Where is Cobert's Changing Tommorrow, Tommorow.. Super PAC on this list?

Tired of corporations driving the bus in America? Then join us at get money out.

We have the option of publicly funded campaigns but no one uses it because the other guys will outspend them. A lot of this would go away if there were no other options...

This article is about 15 years late.

We, the American people, have the best politicians money can buy!

big shout out to those terrific lawyers on the US SC who are allowing our politicians to be corrupted by big money...well, moreso than usual....

This is how you can tell that very few people bother to pay attention to history, these days.

LEGAL TREASON!!!!

I have an idea. People could actually use their brains and look at the records of the candidates rather than getting all their information from misleading SuperPAC ads. It's only because voters are lazy that SuperPAC ads are effective.

We need all money out of politics and the only way to do that is publicly funded elections. If you are able to get on the ballot, there should be a general fund, and that's all you get to spend aside from small donations ($100 max per person). If you can't get elected by spending roughly the same amount of money as your opponent then you don't deserve to get elected.

AP/UPI: February 9th, 2016 The General Auction for the Office of President of the United States has been officially set for Tuesday, November 12th, 2016. All domestic Super PAC bidders for both Parities must be present two days prior to the Auction with Certified Letters of Credit. Foreign SPACs must present International Letters of Credit the same day. The Auction winner must publicly reveal the name of the next President of the United States within twenty four hours of the Auction's closing. No exceptions to the above rules will be considered. Good luck to all of you. And God Help America!

It's sad to see the elections influenced by a few. Which has more influence, a super-pac or a tv network? I was watching CNN in one of the debates where Gingrich was great. Gloria Borger looked stunned after the debate and said "he bilittled the President" as if it was a sin to say something critical of Obama. When Romney did well not long after that, she ran up to Romney and appeared to be praising him for being critical of Gringrich. ABC tried to ruin Gingrich also. Yes, these are difficult times. No wonder good folks like Fred Thompson aren't in the race!

Once the corporations bought the Supreme Court/conservative judges, money can now buy public office. I suppose whoever has the most money will win. Those of us without the money of the rich, lose, just like always.
