Mitch McConnell, Republican leader in the Senate is complaining that Alison Grimes who is running against him in Kentucky has received some funding from out of state, notably from some Hollywood people like Leonardo DiCaprio, Cameron Diaz, Ben Affleck, J.J. Abrams, Steven Spielberg, Danny DeVito, Jack Black, Jennifer Garner, Mike Myers, James Cameron, Jon Hamm and Nicolas Cage to name just a few. She raise $250,000 from these people. Now you can ask why they care if they aren't from Kentucky she is taking their money. But then you'd have to realize that Mitch McConnell got about $16,000,000.00 from out of state. That is 80% of the money he has raised. So apparently to the leading GOP Senator raising $250,000 from individual citizens is worse then him raising $16,000,000.00 from bank executives that he does everything he can to keep them from getting in trouble when they break the law.
Who are you more worried about having an adverse influence on politicians. Cameron Diaz or someone like Winfried Bischoff, CEO of Citigroup in 2008, who thought it was a good idea to use federal bail out money to give over $3,500,000,000.00 in bonuses to executives. Bonuses ... to executives that played a major role in the banking collapse.
This is just one reason I say Fuck the GOP. This is like Ted Bundy criticizing me for bumping into someone on the street. As Jon Stuart says these GOP members just live on Bullshit mountain and not in the real world.
This old white man needs to be booted out of office. I would love to see some new faces take their place.
How about this ... let us get fucking big money out of politics all together. http://www.wolf-pac.com/ is an organisation not funding politicians but funding the fight to reclaim real citizens rights. Almost all Americans agree that the federal government is being destroyed and control by corporate and big money donors. We need 33 states to call for an amendments convention of the states. We have 1 state down 32 to go. Because corporations are not people. Unfortunately they are treated better then people. They don't get in trouble when they break the law like we do. If I steal a few hundred dollars I'll be arrested and serve some time in jail. If a national bank defrauds millions of Americans for hundreds of millions of dollars no one goes to jail and at worst they are hit with a fine of just a small portion of the money that they've stolen.
Go and see how you can help
