"you pay for your own sorry-assed campaign from YOUR donors and if that isn't enough, that pretty much tells the story, no?"

Well, if only VOTERS were allowed to fund campaigns, this would certainly be true.

But since corporations can fund campaigns, and corporations have all the money, the system it has produced is a bunch of corporate whores working for their corporate masters. Now, thanks to the conservative majority on the Supreme Court, corporations can spend ANY amount of money pimping their men in congress. Voters are just "little people" to be deceived, conned and tooled.

I really can't understand why conservatives think that the best we can get are the scraps of the truly represented - the corporations and uber-wealthy. What is the logic?
