Struggling to remember the name of Jeb Bush's super PAC? Here's why

(Reuters) - It's hard to remember whether Republican presidential hopeful Jeb Bush's super PAC is called America Rising or Right to Rise. The independent political group will likely raise hundreds of millions of dollars to back the former Florida governor's bid for the White House, but it's not meant to attract attention.

The Bush super PAC is in fact Right to Rise. America Rising is another political action committee, unconnected to Bush, that plans to raise and spend unlimited sums of money, although it does share one goal in common with Right to Rise: to defeat Hillary Clinton's bid for the Democratic nomination in 2016.

They also share some thematic similarity with the group supporting another Republican presidential hopeful, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker (Our American Revival), which isn't too different from groups advocating for potential candidates New Jersey Governor Chris Christie (America Leads) and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee (Pursuing America's Greatness).

The bland sameness of the names means that tens of millions of Americans may not realize who funded the television advert they just watched denigrating or trumpeting a particular candidate. A few blinks, and the names all run together - just as they're supposed to, strategists told Reuters.

Does anybody else see the irony in a dying empire that in thirty years will probably be 1/20 of a QUADRILLION dollars in debt spending billions on campaigns to increase that debt, and at best, get it under control in TEN YEARS

like the last days of Rome when the wealthy were trying to steal every last dime, as I recall they didn’t fare too well either when the hordes invaded
