Just one more example of “the pot calling the kettle black”. A pox on BOTH their houses!

It seems laughable that Newt is angry about the super pacts are targeting him. These Super paca were meant to be used against the Democrats not them.this is similar to spitting into the wind and having it blow into your own face.Couldn’t,t happen to a better bunch of imbeciles. The ads didn,t lie about Newt.just pointed out the truth.

Unlike most of the previous comments, I find myself appalled at the blatant way big money, which mostly means the super rich, now can legally inundate voters with unrestricted contributions/budgets. This is not what America should be about. In a time when there is so much negativity and outright lies being circulated around the internet and in other media advertising/stealth attacks, the last thing we needed was for the Supreme Court to say this was legal. The top 1% of Americans, the super rich, already control over half of America’s wealth and their income has increased 235% during the last 30 years while the average American’s income has dropped almost 7%. If you look at the top 20%, they control 80% of America’s wealth. These contributions are not coming from the little $5 and $10 donations that average Americans give. They are coming from the super rich and corporations that don’t even blink an eye at that kind of expenditure. They have essentially been given the ability to make or break a candidate just because they are rich. We need a constitutional amendment to roll back what the Supreme Court decided. Every honest American who wants honest elections and the voice of the majority of people to be heard will agree and support such an amendment. We are already becoming a nation of haves and have nots. This is just going to accelerate the process, because now they can buy a candidate, or threaten one, giving them immense power after the election. Congress is already corrupt. We need a constitutional amendment called the Constitutional Reform Act of 2012, in which such PACs are made illegal, and some of the other abuses in campaign financing are done away with. The CRA should also move Congressional terms to 4 years and limit both Senate and House seats to 2 terms, so we do away with career politicians. It should also prohibit any person who has served in an elected position or as a staffer in Congress or the White House from taking a job as a lobbyists for at least 5 years after leaving office, and they should be prevented from taking a job in an industry where they have voted on or sponsored any legislation having to do with that industry during their terms of office. The revolving door in Congress allows companies/corporations to bribe staffers and office holders with lucrative positions where they become super rich. It should also make insider trading illegal and a criminal offence. Likewise, it should include most of the laws now existing as Congressional ethics rules. The electoral college should be done away with and all primaries for both parties should be held on the same day, so little states like Iowa and New Hampshire don’t have an inordinate control over who gets nominated. And likewise, rules for political party nomination processes should be standardized and designed to keep extremists from controlling the party machinery they way they do now. Unless these things are addressed in a Constitutional Amendment, the corruption, influence peddling, and domination by the super rich and major corporations will continue and get worse. Our founders gave us a constitution that they knew would need to be changed over time. They purposely made it hard to do, but made it possible. It doesn’t even mention political parties or campaign contributions, both of which have become major problems plaguing the American political process. But we have the power to change it if enough people will demand it. Isn’t it time?
