Or the $10,000 each 55 people paid to meet with him at a wealthy donor's house afterwards? just want to make sure. Abso-****ing-lutely. It's genuinely a pathetic statement on our democracy and we should be humiliated by the fact that it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilMonkey Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 QUOTE (Tex @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 12:49 PM) What do you think? Good or bad? I am not entirely sure what to think of it. If money is 'speech' then the correct decision was made and you can't limit it with the rules. But like speech, it sure can be regulated to a point. If we are going to have unlimited donations, make them have to report every penny. Not reporting has to have serious consequences. And make sure it is very clear who donates what. You all seem to know what Sheldon donated and can trace the dots backwards, we should know what everyone is donating. Ideally it would be nice if you didn't need a billion bucks to run, but not sure there is a way around that (that would work and/or get passed).
