This is the last half of the article I posted this morning.
Here are a few examples:
Obama’s public denigrating objections to the “Citizens United” Supreme Court decision. This from a man who publically committed to accepting matching funds (with its restrictive fund raising regulations) for his first p**********l campaign but then ignored the commitment and went on to break all campaign fund raising records with no concern for any related ethical or legal regulations regarding campaign fund raising. This included his campaign headquarters refusing to use approved software which would eliminate illegal donations from the same donor or possible foreign donors and the CEO of Goggle staffing, paying for and managing a team of high end technicians to “mine” data and maximize campaign donations and e******n efforts. Loud public objections to the “Citizens United” decision have now been adopted by every ideologue on the “Left” including Hillary. It seems massive infusions of cash from any source are only OK when it is to their benefit!
A commissioner with the Federal E******ns Commission recently ruled that Harry Reid could keep all the money left in his ree******n campaign fund and use it to fund a “t***sition office”. It seems that “loose” regulation of unspent campaign funds is common by the FEC, especially under this administration.
The Bernie Sanders family and “other people’s money”. In the past Berne’s wife and daughter were paid annual salaries out of his senate ree******n funds with questionable job titles and duties. Bernie’s wife was also involved in questionable financial t***sactions involving millions of dollars when she was president of Vermont College.
Former Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell and his wife Maureen have been indicted for accepting inappropriate gifts from a wealthy donor. The charges indicate these gifts appeared to be in exchange for special favors from the Governor that benefited the donor’s business ventures in the state.
Obviously this list of examples could be endless with people from all political parties or no real political affiliation, but I think these examples illustrate how broken our political system is today.
What can you do about it? Short term, get informed and get involved. We have ONE chance left in November to keep our Republic, at least what is left of it today. V**e and CHOOSE wisely.
Long term you should support efforts to make significant necessary changes like term limits. Here is a group working to do that, www.termlimits.org. Go there and click on the “Article V” tab.

‘Citizens United ‘ is a U.S. Constitutional Law case dealing with the regulation of campaign spending by organizations. The U.S, Supreme Court held (5–4) that the First Amendment prohibited the government from restricting independent political expenditures by a nonprofit corporation. The principles articulated by the Supreme Court in the case have also been extended to for-profit corporations, labor unions and other associations.

What's your point? The hypocrisy or the fact that citizens united gave the keys to the Chevy to the fat cats? My only question is why did conservatives think the wealthy were being mistreated because they couldn't buy and sell any politician they wanted. Are we better off now that they can? Oh, yeah, those hypocrites are something else aren't they....
