Money in politics. A false equivlency.
Edited on Fri Nov-05-10 10:35 PM by RandomThoughts
If a donor gives money to the people that support big money side of politics. That is wrong.

If a donor gives money against the big money side of politics, that is dividing the enemy turning it against itself.

Actually the Citizens United ruling should say money can only be used when it is given to politicians that are against money interest in society.

So those that think defending Keith being able to give money to an election is wrong, while being against the buying of elections, do not understand the paradigm.

Also his donations were small amounts within modest support of views he agrees with.
