Caesar: You know... people are always complaining about politicians, but nothing ever changes. It seems easier just to get really rich and buy congress. Huey: Well, you can't do that now that they've passed campaign finance reform. You know I'm joking, right? Caesar: Okay... thought you were slippin' there for a second.

So what CAN you legally do if you are rich besides of financing swiftboaters, teabaggers, birthers and hosting $1000 plate dinners?

Buy a Congressman, of course. The useful ones stay bought.

Potrz, you can fund an organization which is guilty of voter registration fraud, outright vote fraud, misappropriation of funds, and who knows what else. Namely ACORN as funded by George Soros and his partners in crime. Oh wait, you said legally. I guess funding them is legal, though their activities are not.
It makes no sense though to make one-sided comments about political bleeep when both sides are equally guilty of abridging the rights of the people. If you have liberal political views, fine, just don’t pretend that the politicians and demagogues on your side are any better than those on the other side.

so how many dead people voted in this election NOLA?
MisngNOLA about 15 years ago
Probably more voted for the Democrats than for Republicans I’d say, considering Chicago, Philadelphia, and New Orleansand urban centers where all the dead seem to vote that way. And by asking that question, you make my point. Why do political parties on either side have to resort to such fraudulent measures in order to get elected?
Why is it fine for me to have to produce a picture ID with my current address on it in order to vote, and yet many people backed by less than honest political organizations cry foul when they are asked to provide verification of their identity in order to vote?

In Calif, you sign the roster, and you’re crossed-off the address list as having voted. Seems to work. Of course, in our precinct, only 56 voted out of 1100 registered. Only one seat on the City College board at issue.
