Whatsis I hear about Sheldon Adelson and the Kroch brothers alone...

bringing in around a billion bucks to the election?

A BILLION fucking dollars, and more to come from other rich Republicans. Lots of them.

It is completely, totally insane when a guy as rich as Romney can't come up with the cash to run.

There will be no books soon because they will become a heat source for many when we have no ability to buy heat. Besides, slaves aren't giong to have the education to read or the time to do it, that is if they aren't blinded by the labor they will be forced to perform while exposed to toxins etc..

And it's OK to spend billions on elections to make sure it doesn't.

Bizzarro world exists.

And I think that doesn't include a lot that comes through disguised channels or goes to state & local candidates.
