So the people that shelled out $32,500 to be at a fundraiser for Obama tonight, that is a bad thing? 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.

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).
