Thanks to the Supreme Court billionaires can anonymously donate money to the Tea Party & GOP, for favors to be returned if they are elected. Anyone who thinks billionaires donate money to anything, without expecting something in return, are fools.

Some Democratic Politicians are also receiving Super PAC money, but most of the money is going to the Tea Party and GOP. I wonder if the Supreme Court ever regrets making corporations, the same as living people.

Is there reason to think that any politicians are not helping themselves to enhanced campaign donations?

Are there any Party members who are not on the take? Do they make public statements about their standards for "accepting donations"?

Word is... nobody can know where the money comes from... it would violate China's and Saudi Arabia's Constitutional rights to be identified as the "contributors"...

And it looks like Barry is going to be the first guy to ever get a billion buck war chest.

You know, during this first Post Citizens United election, collections are at an all time high.

It's a great time to be a RepublicanandDemocrat.

    Well that about sums up the reason that George Soros has bankrolled Barack Obama and the liberal media.

      Soros is just the only political contributor who has ever said that "changing the way the world is governed" is his goal.

      So he stands out to me. As far as how many Billionaires give to the Dems? I don't know. Warren Buffet probably doesn't because he is probably to tight to do so.

      I don't really know that many Billionaires.

        Well...until further notice...all politicians in the Party are on the take...We have legalized corruption, so I just assume we intend to be corrupt.

        We could really use a second party in this country. We wouldn't be able to legalize corruption if the Party had a competitor.

        That's what I think.
