In reply to the discussion: Russ Feingold: Obama Super PAC Reversal Will Lead To 'A Legalized Abramoff System' [View all]graham4anything
(11,464 posts)when you have 2 Koch brothers and 3 other people saying they themselves are going to donate $500 million to defeat Obama, well, you gotta have equal sides.
Like the sign in the movie said "A winner does what a loser won't", and President Obama is a winner.
Don't like super pacs? Then the SCOTUS needs to be changed. THE RIGHTWING SCOTUS that Bush and Reagan gave us.
Having a republican president will mean decades more of rightwing SCOTUS.
We need President Obama to win in 2012 and the democrat to win in 2016 and 2020 and the court will be at (most likely) 7 to 2 or 8 to 1 democrat(ic).
And corporate citizen will be forever history.
But only if Obama wins reelection.
as to Russ...well, didn't he open his own lobby group? Hasn't he whined and whined
AFTER HE LOST and he is not g0ing to run in his state now (reminding me of Bill Bradley who did the same a few years ago
Like the lotto ad says "You gotta be in it to win it" and not a couch potato whining on the sidelines.
Sorry Russ, but you are wrong here.
One super negative ad destroyed Newt and that was financed by the super pacs on the right.
President Obama is looking like a sure winner, we cannot get it snatched away and having Rove snicker in the background after the Repubs come back.
Once reelection is done, then the rules will be easier to switch back(espeically if the Dems hold the senate and re-take the house as it looks possible they will).
(btw Russ- why back years ago, didn't you make the Feingold/McCain law without big holes(loopholes any two year old saw coming?)
