United Citizens?
Or Citizens United?

An outside poll is asking where the wingnut campaign funding might be coming from, now that the Citizen's United ruling freed up a lot of political cash:

~snip~

Sheila Krumholz of the Center for Responsive Politics said it best: "Corporate interests are buying the elections? Oh no, it's much worse than that. We don't know who's buying the elections."

...

It's no secret that deep-pocketed businessmen might want free-market conservatives in office without having to suffer the backlash of public accountability or a boycott.

But what about backing the wackjobs? Who's spending all this money to make sure they get elected?


I picked Lindsay Lohan.

What's DU's suspicion?

2. Actually, it would make more sense for MSNBC to support them.
They get more mileage from the extreme right.
