Move-On sponsors ad contest about money in politics. Conservative ad is favorite.

This is priceless. Move-On.org sponsors a contest for viewers to create ads which highlight the dangers of big money in the political process and pledge that they'll air the winning advertisement. A conservative group takes them up on the challenge and focuses on a liberal billionaire and his hypocrisy and starts piling up the votes. Then Move-On changes the rules and wipes out the votes and begins again and the conservative ad, once again, races to the top of the charts. Here's the contest page.

I don't understand why it is so hard for you people to understand everyone knows that liberal hypocrites exists. I agree he's a hypocrite (depending on how he always felt about the issue). However, just because he is a hypocrite it really doesn't erase the issue itself, now does it? You also can't generalize one guy to the entire liberal ideology. There are democratic politicians who have always opposed big money in politics. If they were hypocrites, why would they bother supporting it? What could they get from it?

I've never understood the incongruity of "marxist billionaires" like George Soros and many others. Every one of them, especially Soros, had to fuck over countless thousands of struggling proles to get where they are. But these are the darlings of the far left nevertheless, the people on whose asses DNC lips stay permanently locked.

OK that's awesome, seems conservatives do not care about the big money buyouts in their own party any more than democrats do in theirs but guess what? Seems only liberals even give a shit about the issue. It's all a bunch of "we do it because they do it" in the national parties with no one actually trying to do a damned thing about it. Oh and about this ad? Funded by the fucking Kochs.

It is so ironic that we have a poster here celebrating the fact that some rich guy opened his checkbook and trolled a movement that is alarmed about the influence of big money in politics, conservatives deserve a plutocracy but the rest of us would like to have some sort of influence in the government.

Except for the fact that TEA Party activist have been very successful at primarying the very Big Money apparatchiks you condemn. Yet you don't like TEA Party activists.

Occupied is a progressive. Progressives don't care where they get their money from all they want is power. They want to destroy the western countries and devolve them to some agrarian starvation based economy that won't survive a major disaster. They are anti people.

Liberal Elites are trying to create a true 1%.
