Democrats: "Get money out of politics!"

Are you sure that you don't want to make a post about me not knowing how to use the quote function? That was some good stuff.
rifle hasn't changed one iota. It's just that all the conservatives have changed into Brushy Bills.
That sounds like something rifle would say.
So according to greed 2, the left only wants certain money out of politics -- corporate donations, PACs, etc, as if that money is any different than individual donors giving to politicians. At the end of the day, PACs and corporations are people too. They never seem to realize the money in politics isn't the problem, it's the power. If politicians have minimal power, there's no need to buy them, and $60M fundraising quarters to become a Senator becomes a thing of the past. But the left only wants to grow the size and scope of government, giving them more and more power.
Don't you understand? Inserting a fictitious person in the transaction between you and the eventual donee is the thing that makes politicians corrupt. Somehow. No need to explain further.
No, apparently only you can properly identify yourself in the videos you posted. You'll be hard pressed to find anyone other than Cuntrytard, who will lie for you and say he could tell the person in those videos is you.
Here, you may want to get these guys to video you next time you're hanging out, braiding Taylor Swift's hair.
1. Let's bind all "people", including corporations, to the individual limits for donations. No more PACS, no more dark money. If not for reform, just to get all these goddamn commercials off the TV. There's 50 from PACs to every 1 from the actual campaign.
2. If your aunt had balls she'd be your uncle. Unless office holders have zero power there is always a reason to buy them, any competitive advantage is still an advantage. And even if your theoretical world of little power is achieved, isn't being the gatekeeper to maintaining that governmental environment a position of enormous power? Indeed, billions are spent to influence Congress to govern less.
Why don't city council members in Butte, Montana spend millions on campaigns? They still wield some power, right? So according to you there should be a reason to buy them.
Are you really comparing the population and economy of Butte MT to the entire USA? That is just stupid. Total power and control over Butte is surely worth less than even 1% power and control over the USA.
Somebody clearly isn't educated on campaign finance laws and limits. Seriously, why would you engage in a disagreement in which you have no fvcking idea what you're talking about?
And, yes, the left only wants certain money out of politics. Individual donors should have a limit, as they technically do. Claiming that corporations, PACs, and super-PACs are "people too" [sic] shows how clueless you are on this subject.
Oh, if that's your understanding of it, there is plenty that needs to be explained to you. It's not necessarily about being "corrupt" as it is being able to be "influenced."
This is dumb enough that Murox should be able to understand it:
Pretend that you're running for mayor of Huntington. There is a controversial, huge project being discussed worth billions. However, in order for it to proceed, eminent domain would have to be declared. You're the only candidate on the fence regarding it. All of the others are against it.
I own the only company in the state that would be able to handle such a large project. It is obvious that I would win the bid for the project.
Would it be "corrupt" if "you" (and by "you," I mean a super-PAC supporting you) received $500 million for your little mayoral campaign (compared with the $20,000 spent by the other candidates) which led to you supporting the project? It's simply a result of those with the most money behind them being elected. It's exactly what government shouldn't be.
Anyone who doesn't have a problem with the laws regarding PACs either doesn't understand how they work/the lack of limits they have or is clearly a buffoon.
See Murox's comment to me about Butte MT and know he is going to rail against you using that big a number for the mayor of Huntington.
While the numbers are smaller, indeed local politicians are sometimes bought with corporate and PAC money. My local mayor and the city council have pushed through many recent city projects, some of which are a waste of money, and have approved many recent private developments, a couple of which are boondoggles in the making (one is going to slide off the fvcking hill in a couple of years after it is completed). I don't think it is a coincidence the mayor was supported last election by a few big engineering and contracting companies and dubious PACs that gave large sums of money , and was able to triple his opponent's campaign spending.
His argument in response to your post is just baffling. It's something I'd expect from a guy on Facebook who dropped out of high school. It's like he hears things argued by his far more intelligent friends over Cars & Coffee, doesn't fully understand the logic behind it or the entire situation, and then tries to argue it on here.
Then, when called out on it, he tries changing the subject and refuses to revisit what he was corrected on.
Jesus, you even use the same rare slang/vocabulary as Murox the Moron.
Tell us, does he coming running to your defense so often because he know you aren't equipped to do it yourself? Does he know you are insecure about your low legal education? Why do you think he feels the need to come running to your defense so often? Do you get embarrassed by it?
If you haven't noticed, the "s" key on this laptop is sticking. It accounts for another recent instance of that letter not being typed and yet another instance in which I typed an apostrophe before it, it didn't appear, and I had to pound it and didn't change where I had put the apostrophe.
Until I take three minutes to see why it is sticking, I am sure there will be more omissions of the letter.
But I'd avoid being called out for copying him, too.
Still hiding from what month of the year your visit to Orlando was in? I'd hide from it, too, if I were you.
You went to Orlando so your wife could run in a Disney marathon. I am sure it isn't that hard to figure out when you went.
He went to Orlando in eptember. Dang it...my finger lipped...lipped...sssssssssssssssssssssslipped.
And there it i . Nope he can’t ay he ****ed up. It ha to be the key i ticking on hi keyboard.
I hope I don’t have any typos or keys sticking. I’m not in the mood for a grammar lesson tonight.
It's the third recent error regarding that key in the very recent past. It's quite obvious. Further, these things are typing errors. Nobody is arguing I don't know the difference between "know" and "knows." On the other hand, the things I mock people for are errors of intelligence instead of typos. For instance, you repeatedly butcher "to" and "too" among many other common grammar gaffes. Your errors are a case of simply being dumb.
It’s a message board not a dissertation. I’m not trying to impress anyone with grammar and syntax. This is an informal setting so get over it
Hes [sic] also been having trouble with his apostrophe and hyphen keys, to [sic].
Wrong. The apostrophe key works just fine. However, it was used right before trying to type an "s". I can't remember what word it was, but there was an "s" right before it. The "s" wouldn't type. I went back and deleted the apostrophe a couple of times and didn't put the apostrophe in before it after deleting it a couple of times.
Still waiting for an explanation about what was wrong in my first post in this thread.
ThunderCat, would you like to take a swing since Murox has struck out and disappeared into the clubhouse since the dugout wasn't enough of a safe space for him?

There have now been four recent typing errors with that key, three of which were before the comment about the error. It's quite obvious.
I enjoy LMAO at your stupidity. If I were you, I would try to get someone to stop laughing at my stupidity as well.
Tell us again how coal is “coming back.”
LMAO!
I’ll wait for you to go find a post where I said coal was “coming back.” I’ve said that Trump would cut the regulations that have been putting coal at an even worse competitive disadvantage, which he has done.
I couldn’t fvcking care less about some graph you have from 2014 that shows national coal production decreasing. Coal production in WV is up and our company is finally selling mining equipment again. A mine operator who just opened 7 mines in Eastern KY and SW WV has offered us a 7 figure deal for our shop. Things are going quite well at the moment.
Keep rooting for people to lose their jobs, though, douche.
Where the fvck you think my shop is located, retard?
