Probably this is just an obvious side effect of the fact that the GOP takes good care of big business, but I think it's interesting anyway.

GOP rakes it in

Go figure... the GOP pulled in nearly 10x the amount of money from PACs than did their Democrat counterparts.

The actions described by these PACs are perfectly legal... so where’s the problem?

Does anyone else think that there should be no campaign money?

I think it's sick that campaigns are getting this much money to advertise themselves when there are so many better places to spend that money.
