Liberal Forum

Unions, for example, spend much more on their own ads and electioneering efforts than is reported in public disclosure forms.And you know this how?Massive amounts in, snicker, "small donations" last election were simply bundled by the same Special Interest Groups that alwaysAlways what? Again you know this how?Soros and other leftists spent large amounts of money indirectly to influence elections, amounts and places that can only be guessed at.And you know this how?Let me guess. You read it in one of your right wing propaganda pieces.Never saw you complain about it when Dems were the ones benefiting.I've only been posting on this forum since 2008.In 2008 (pre Citizens United) only two of the top five outside groups contributing to campaigns were unions.In 2010 (post Citizens United) only three of the top ten were unions.The rest were groups that gave to Republicans.So how could I complain about something that wasn't happening?Unions are paltry players compared to big business when it comes to buying influence in Washington.
