Let the Repubs spend all the money they want.
We have something much more powerful; our vote. If we all stand together and vote against the Repubs, it could make for a grand slam-dunk victory for the Democrats on election day. How I wish and pray we could get them to 65 senators so we can put an end to Repub blockage (filibuster). I started calling them Constipationists because they cause nothing but blockage and we all know what they're full of!!!

Help stop Republican Constipationism!

3. Not even close!
The Repubs are getting millions upon millions from corporations. They're not even denying it. They have out-spent the Democrats in this election since the flood gates are opened on January 2010.

Now to reply to your personal attack. Duped?? Really? I am neither a Democrat, nor a Republican. I am an Independent who carefully looks at the candidates and what they stand for. All you have to do is look at the math and the history to see which way to vote if you want a prosperous nation. Personally, I simply want a Congress that functions. Get the issues out there and debate them and let the process run its course. The Filibuster stops the process from working. Are both sides corrupt. Absolutely. But policies that the Dems fight for will actually help ALL Americans, including but not limited to the wealthy.

Rotten apples or not, the choice IS clear this election! Now, can we disagree without slinging those apples at each other. I respect your oppostion to my post because I respect your freedom of speech.

6. Are you advocating not voting for Dems then?
Cause it sure seems like it and, if I'm not mistaken, that's against the rules.

5. Rachel Maddow just did a bit on this.
96% of the donations given to elect Dem. senators is public info. 75% of the donations given to elect Rep. senators is secret. Of the remaining 25%, 18% was donated by 3 named individuals.

I think that's what the OP is referring to.

9. Yeah, Julie. Wow is right.
Wow, some people keep voting for their own impoverishment! Wow, some people keep voting for republicans just because Rahm talked them into putting A silly little "D" after their names. Some people will vote for ANYONE who calls his or herself a democrat regardless of how they CONTINUE to vote.

Fucking WOW.
