    So Obama breaks all previous campaign financing Records through Political Action Commitee Funding... TWICE. Citizens United Destroyed Hillary, ensuring this previously unknown senator an unopposed democratic nomination. SuperPacs were ruled legal in his first term without any objection from the president. I think we should reexamine who is really to blame

    To all calling out Republicans and "conservatives", here's a word. It's not truly "conservative" to be laundering in billions; never in the past of the country has such a thing happened. More like neo-conservative, which often feeds off the so-called military-industrial complex. The rich keep getting richer and this is 21st century electioneering.

    Your use of the word newsical, above, made me think that this is a good word to submit to some of the online dictionaries that dot the vaporsphere. So with a hat tip to you and whoever coined the term, I submitted NEWSICAL to a few, anonymosly of course, and defined it this way, and again, hat tip to you: (noun, singular, or plural) -- a mash-up of music, graphics and hyperlinks in an effort to deconstruct and explain tough, consequential social and scientific issues

    The problem are the 527 organizations and the fact that they can raise money tax-free for political purposes. Unlike qualified nonprofit corporations, 527 organizations can spend 100 percent of the funds they raise on political activities.

    This says in words and music what the other youtube video "The Art Of Corpocracy" says in words and art.

    Not really. Soros does do political funding -- no match for Koch Brothers. Rove specializes in lies and distortions.
