Is it the USSC's fault that Citizen's United allows people like the Koch brothers to funnel unlimited amounts of money to candidates like Cotton? Is it the Democrat leadreship's fault for not having a working plan to counteract the activities of people like the Koch brothers, or a plan to get the message out that 28% of the registered voters does not make a "mandate", which is what the GOP runs around saying every time they win any election.
