Bad PAC. Bad PAC. Worse Super PAC.

What's a PAC or two among Friends? Political Action Committees were originally designed to speak out for or against policies that special interests favored or disliked. The idea was to provide a voice for those special interests that might not otherwise be heard. Wow, did that open up the floodgates to big money and bad boys. It didn't take long before these PACs were hauling in the big bucks and the politicians could see all this money that they couldn't, no that's not quite correct., that they weren't supposed to have any control over. Then came their big break. The Supreme Court decided a case called Citizen's United. Now big money could spend all they wanted on any subject, even individual candidates and they could raise the money secretly. That's right nobody had to admit to donating to a PAC. Not even a foreign country, or presumably, a criminal organization. Now do you get the idea? Yep, Bad Boys can play bad boy games with our political and electoral systems and do it legally. Now they call some of these things, Super PACS. Don't ya just love it when your vote doesn't really count anymore? Back in the "not so good" good old days, political machines sent their henchmen out to gather names off headstones in cemeteries so they could go back and vote multiple times. They also paid voters to vote for their "man". At least the lowly voter got something out of that. Now, with these PACs and Super PACs, we don't get anything. Not even a fair vote. Why do I say that, you ask? Because they can lie about anything they want in order to confuse people into thinking their way. Bad and incorrect information can cause bad and incorrect votes. And that can cause bad or incorrect candidates to get elected.
