The problem here, GfinS, is that when it comes to the actual $$$ going to the Dems v. Repubs since the "Citizens United" ruling that for every dollar going to the Dems, 5 go to the Repubs...

I'm not excusing Soros... I'd like to see all corporate $$$ out of politics... And no "rangers" or whatevers that fleece/bully workers to contribute... This is a terrible way to try to run a democracy... Bring back a "Fairness Doctrine" and "debates" and "documentaries" and take the $$$ and propaganda outta politics...

But right now, the Repubs are winning the $$$ grab in a big way... No contest!!!

BTW, the so-called financial crisis in Wisconsin has been fabricated... Scott Walker came into office with a $100M surplus which he turned around and ***gave*** (as in welfare) to corporations (trusty Repub donors) in tax breaks and subsidies... If he hadn't done that then no crisis... Same game as Bush... Surpluses turned over to Boss Hog???

You may think that tyhje Dems and the Repubs are alike but the Dems have been much better stewards of the tax payer's $$$ for a long time now...
