$889 Is Just A Down Payment On 2016.

I will bet the Koch's and their cronies will go over $1 billion easily to buy the government and president they want. And 2016 will be the most expensive election ever when it comes to money in the trough. Then you have all the other PACs like American Crossroads et al throwing money. Under such a cash blitz anything can happen and one of these GOP clowns could win. Voter suppression, phony machines, voter purges, and other dirty tricks could make a real difference in 2016.

In 2014 money seems to have carried the day even though it was a bad year for Dems. Udall's loss in Colorado had a lot to do with all the money thrown at him. It was more than just the message. There were so many GOP ads that were non stop. And it did not matter that they were all lies. It was the fools who believe those lies.

3. I'm a little confused.

Who exactly paid $889 for what? That's really not a lot of money, although to someone who is flat broke it would be welcome.

5. $889 MILLION.

The Kochtopus is not afraid to spend that kind of money. They're worth more than $80 billion.

either the zeros or the word.

4. That's obscene.

Money in politics has become a cartoon.
