I piss off a lot of my friends on this one.
But I am all for a huge discussion on campaign money and finance.
What you say is a real possiblilty.
Yeah, the funny thing is that you don't even need an advanced law degree or even having passed poli-sci with more than a C- to see immediately the loophole that SCOTUS created for seditious foreign interests/money. It was like they blew a hole in the side of the the Capitol Building and laid out a welcome mat for our enemies [money] to waltz right in.
It's a no-duh moment when you consider that now any foreigner with money can buy his way into super-citizenship & influence without having to take one class in naturalization or swearing the Oath of allegiance or foresaking his own birth country's interests. Prince Talal must be pissing himself with glee. [just Google his holdings here in the US]. Saudi Arabia is famous for aiding Al Qaida with benefits for widows of suicide bombers.
So glad to welcome this new SuperCitizen on board as a "loyal patriot" to US internal interests...![]()

I see that at the local level. It is now more expensive to run campaigns and so the outside money is "needed" and politicians shortcut to a few "money people" to fill their coffers. This happens on both sides and pisses me off.
They get lazy and they are beholden to the money.
I agree.
