“I felt it was corrupting, all this corporate money,” Reid added.”
Looky-looky! Reid seems to be admitting that he is, in fact, corrupt!
So, the Koch Bros are responsible for all that bad stuff, but not Erectile Dysfunction????
You left out Iron Poor Blood and The Heartbrak of Psoriasis
In 1864. cattle rustlers were hung. 150 years later, that cattle rustler gets elected to the US Senate.
Welcome to Acirema where the guilty are rewarded and the innocent are punished.
Lol, good job, very tenacious and very funny!
I thought they passed a Campaign Finance law!
Laz!
You forgot that they cause sacrococcygeal fistulae!
Harry,
Pull your head out of Obama’s backside and get some air. I would say I regret you are consuming oxygen that is mine but I don’t think that addled brain of yours has gotten oxygen for 6 years.
harry reid is an insufferable boor. Are people so malignantly uninformed that they keep reelecting this koch-stalker?
I think the old coot would run with it.
Good, let him propose an amendment. He may get a Senate vote in favor but it will never get out of the House. The next time “campaign finance” comes before the Supreme Court the pro first amendment people can point out the attempt to change the Constitution to restrict free speech didn’t pass.
Every time Reid talks about the wonderful McCain/Feingold law McConnell and McCain should be publicly reminding him it was Obama who trashed the law in the 2008 campaign by refusing public financing once McCain had accepted it and its limits. Obama chose to accept unlimited corporate money and spent almost a billion dollars after promising to adhere to McCain/Feingold. The Republicans should be slapping Harry in the face with this, particularly McCain who was both the author of the bill and the loser when the Dems walked away from campaign finance. Why are the Republicans allowing the Democrats to make this an issue? Call out the hypocrisy!! Instead we get silence.
Actually, there’s some campaign rules I could support.
ALL persons/campaigns/PACs/whatevers are required to maintain records of where their contributions come from. No anonymous donations. In combination with:
Tax nexus-like status. For any given campaign, if you don’t have a presence (work, residence) in any candidate’s district, you are not allowed to contribute in that election. City mayor? you gotta live or work INSIDE that city to interfere with that race. State Rep? Only if you’re in their district. US Senator? Gotta have ties to that state.
Does anyone need more reason to fear failing to gain a majority in the Senate. If we let him slip by again because of our poor choices, too bad for us and too bad for the country.
Wouldn’t just such an amendment take several years to accomplish, if ever? If so, Reid would long be dead and not benefit from it at all.
I wasn’t referring to an amendment. Just the decisions about who could reasonably be expected to win elections, rather than their “purity” in the eyes of the beholders.
Dear Harry, where is the list of Obama donors? from either election. Hope to hear from you soon, Love, Republicans
