(8 posts)Why on Earth then do these candidates go through heaven and hell to raise millions of dollars to win a job that pays $400,000 a year. Elections are more than just branding a product it is about manipulating peoples opinions enough to get them to vote for you and you'd be foolish to think that big money doesn't get the upper hand in that department. Lest we forget there is still a large portion of the country that believes Iraq was responsible for 9/11 and continue to vote accordingly. I wasn't being sarcastic when I said I appreciate the optimism but I as it stands for me I am deeply concerned that "big money" will dominate this upcoming election cycle largely in part to the "Citizens United" decision and the Republicans doing everything they can to stop the "Disclose Act".
