Follow the $$.

McConnell tucked in a nice little tidbit for campaign financing...

The bill would dramatically expand the amount of money that wealthy political donors could inject into the national parties, drastically undercutting the 2002 landmark McCain-Feingold campaign finance overhaul. Bottom line: A donor who gave the maximum $32,400 this year to the Democratic National Committee or Republican National Committee would be able to donate another $291,600 on top of that to the party’s additional arms — a total of $324,000, ten times the current limit....and can go to party controlled/affiliated groups.

According to TGO Levin....this insures that incumbents can stay in office. Their campaigns are fully funded. This is why none of them (w/few exceptions) even give a flip about what We the People say, or voted for.

Yes, the WHOLE purpose of this item is to benefit the GOPe’s financial arms. They’ll be able to get MUCH more money from their CRONIE RENT SEEKERS & Amnesty Advocates. This is a sell-out of the American people and the Republican base, make no mistake about it.
