It’s not that the Democrats are against money in politics, it’s that they’re against their political opponents having money. That’s why they are against corporations donating money, but are fine with unions doing it. That’s why they are against Super-Pacs (or were – until Democrats began raking in the donations). It’s why they are against 501c4s donating money (because they lean Republican), but are fine with 501c3 charities (giving to Democrats).

All of this Koch Brothers bru-ha-ha and yelling “racist!” or “war on women!” whenever a leaf blows down the street is all a very pathetic attempt on the part of Democrats to deflect from the fact – pointed out by their opposition for years and years now – that Democrats are leading the country in the wrong direction, and lying like crazy about their opponents to boot.
