2012 U.S. Presidential Election

Yes I can, and I will.

The GOP was so happy when the Supreme Court ruled in their favor on Super PACs, and they're going to have to think twice about using them from now on, seeing as the whole idea seemed to have been a dud.

And? That has nothing to do with the fact that Obama went back on his promise to gain a unseenly about of money in a hope to swamp McCain with ads and win the election.

Give it up.

It was small potatoes compared to the Super PACs pouring $390 million into Romney's campaign in an effort to get him elected.

I still say it shouldn't have been legal. Corporations are NOT people. It completely defies logic.

And before you say that it was legal, so was what Obama did.

If what Obama did was legal but wrong, then what the Super PACs did was legal but about ten times more wrong.

And Obama's Campaign raised close to 750 million dollars.

You seem to forget some of the problems if not illegal problems that plagued Obama's 2008 Campaign when it came to raising cash online.

"The potential for the FEC's audit became increasingly more likely as the FEC questioned some of Obama campaign filings. In all, the FEC wrote 26 letters to Obama for America warning the campaign that if it did not adequately respond to the agency's questions that it "could result in an audit or enforcement action."

These letters totaled more than 1,500 pages of questions and data that outlined compliance concerns — including the longest one ever sent to a presidential candidate."

Really we are getting into the realm of "Super Double Decker Wrong with no Take Backs?"

[Dark Sage]

Yeah.

I doubt that Rove's investors are going to get that $390 million back.
