MSM: DISCLOSE Act Revived

Newt Gingrich's entire campaign is essentially being kept alive thanks to funds from just one man. This is the perfect example for you of Citizens United in action. Those that study campaign finance say that the two contributions of 5 million dollars a piece by Sheldon Adelson are the largest known political donations in US history. MSNBC has been all over this story, but they are the only network doing so. The problem is they don't take it even further.

Horrificly, the rather large side advertisement to the Alyona Show today on youtube was a NEWT 2012 donation request for his Florida campaign. yikes! At least that was paid for by Newt and not that vegas guy (yeah, sure).

@lonelynoose It's all around you. Who cares that you can't make Sarah Palin win with any amount of money. Not the point! The point is the political system is wrecked because the mud-slinging and flat-out lies in endless ads distort perception and create a different vote outcome than one based on information and truth would.

If politicians had a limited amount of money they would focus on their actual platform and not have a way for all this extra shit. As we see in Europe, largely.

If this passes, it will definitely be a Glimmer of Hope.

From everything I read , "foriegn" countries and citizens were not allowed to fund super pacs. The only country that is allowed is Israel. Which leads to something else I have herd. Something about 50% of everyone in the American Government has duel citizenship with Israel. Which brings up another point. The ONLY country you can be a citizen of and still be in American Poitics , Is Israel. Either allow all duel citizenship to be in Government or NONE. I'm for none.

@aaronpolitical

Please enlighten me!  What's the big picture?

@lonelynoose Bullshit. Way to miss the big picture.

If Iran funded a Chinese company that contributed 1 billion dollars to a presidential run by Sarah Palin. She would not win. Americans are stupid but not that stupid. Discussions like this only fuel the bipartisan speak in this county. The only thing it does is separate us, reduces our options, and creates resentment amongst the American people.

The Nevada caucus, set on February 4, was going to be moved because it fell on a Jewish sabatical. But guess who pointed this out? None other than Sands Corp. (Venetian and Palazzo) CEO himself SHELDON ADLESON. The NV caucus will still be on February 4, but a special evening caucus will be added for the Jewish voters. I understand they want to accommodate everyone, would they do this if Adelson didn't point it out? Hmmm.....
