how the super pacts effect politics
the times record had an excellent editorial in the 1/06 2012 edition;the title was "mob mentality" to long to type the whole piece but here is an outline:
well armed super pac henchmen-legally detached from the candidates,but devoted to their campaigns-engage in a vicious turf war. these hired guns use attack ads,mailers and internet scare tactics in their character assassinations.
super pacs are political action committees that operate separately from each candidates campaign,there-by avoiding reporting requirements-and ethical questions related to taking responsibility for the political equivalent of gangland beat downs.
these proxy assassins emphasize the fact that this year's presidential contest is between
political machines,not individuals. welcome to the land of free speech, bought and paid for by anonymous corporate syndicates. and protected by justices Roberts,Scalia,Thomas,Alito and Kennedy!
pretty much says it all!

1. nothing personal Newt

it was reported that"restore our future"(a super pac) spent $4.1 million to help Romney's cause.almost all of which for attack ads on Newt Gingrich! despite the poetic justice inherent
in Gingrich falling prey to the spawn of political vipers he nurtured during the 1980's and 90's!
well Newt I owe you a debt of gratitude as you was the driving force for me to leave the republican party. you see I was taken in by your b.s. till I visited Atlanta during your reign of ignorance. I visited the atlanta zoo,and several other places and got an ear full of how hated you was-what an opportunist you are! does this sound familiar newt? no press no newt!
how about the indian museum shut down because of your shut down days!
yes newt the old saying be careful what you say or do cuz it will come back to bite you in the arse!
you betcha! YOU BETCHA YOU BAG OF WIND!
