This year, powerful dark-money political groups have spent tens of millions of dollars in battleground states hammering President Obama on jobs, taxes, health care, gas prices, and more.
Reformers rail against these shadowy nonprofits—including Crossroads GPS, cofounded by GOP guru Karl Rove, and the Koch-backed Americans for Prosperity—for hiding their donors' identities. But what's gone largely unnoticed is how these outfits have danced around federal election law to obscure their ad spending from public view.
Michigan is one battleground state where this dark-money dynamic is playing out. According to broadcast records analyzed by the Michigan Campaign Finance Network, conservative nonprofit groups dropped nearly $6 million on TV ads dinging Obama between January 1 and June 30.
However, as MCFN's Rich Robinson points out, these nonprofits crafted their ad blitzes so that they avoided disclosing basic details about their on-air attack campaigns—like how much they spent, when and where they spent it, which media consultants they used, and what candidate the ads discussed.
it should be obvious to all even the hater's and vote because people, that if they are being so clandestine about their monetary shenanigan's that there has to be something detrimental to those who are exposed. which calls into question the legality and origin of the money. Aino's feel this is ok with then that their politicians won't even tell them what they are up to, making them collusive by default in what ever nefarious scheme they have going other then the big one, stealing the Presidential election by fraudulently accusing "we the people" of the very crime they are committing ad those who support them should be viewed as not Americans.
repeat how can you say you are an American and only claim the benefits of that identity for yourself and help foster the breaking of other citizens constitutional rights. time for a real disscussion of what this country really stands for. maybe there's some truth to " if you don't stand up for what you believe, then you'll fall for anything" recognize.
