The term Super PAC has been everywhere since the Supreme Court's decision on the "Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission" case. Stephen Colbert's jokes on the whole saga has also been all over the Internet. I just watched this bit («Slow Jamming the News») on Yahoo! Video warning President Barack Obama.
Personally, I like the idea that corporations are allowed to spend money on elections. I know it is a dangerous thing. But look at where they are spending their money: staffing their champaign, boat loads of ads on TV and print media. I think this is a great way for the money to be pumped into the economy. Don't you?
Here is a little secret: I don't watch TV. No one watches TV in our household. I don't have a phone in the traditional sense either, so I am not taking their calls. So I want them to spend more money on those things: The more the merrier. A billion is far from enough.
(I have not visited Yahoo! for some time. They seem to have got some pretty good stuff up there, even Bill Maher.)
