SuperPac contributions are legal bribes.

[Avalux]

There's no other way to say it. Hillary Clinton continues to insist that she, as the top hauler of SuperPac money (Dem or Rep), is not influenced by all that cash.

It's insulting that she would expect anyone to believe those words.

Does she really think we are so naive as to not understand that when corps and billionaires donate money, they expect a return on investment? The most powerful aren't going to hand out millions upon millions without a handshake and an understanding that they'll get what they want in the end.

The Supreme Court of this country made it legal for these types of bribes to occur, and Hillary Clinton has exploited it and benefited from it tremendously, with seemingly no misgivings.

That's why when she stands on the debate stage and proclaims she'll go after Wall Street and she's got their number, it shows her for what she is - a disingenuous political tool.

1. Note that David Brock's super PAC is actually coordinating with the Clinton campaign...

2. Even when they support Bernie?

3. What, no defense of your candidate?

All you can do is throw it back on Bernie?

4. No answer?

7. A nurses union ≠ big money interests

if Sanders is beholden to nurses due their support, it doesn't really benefit the 1% over everyone else.

there is no super PAC created solely to support Sanders’s campaign for president as there is for Clinton

{The Clintons} made historic inroads on Wall Street, pulling in at least $69 million in political contributions from the employees and PACs of banks, insurance companies, and securities and investment firms. Wealthy hedge fund managers S. Donald Sussman and David E. Shaw are among their top campaign supporters, having given more than $1 million each.

5. Is it legalized bribery when unions format a super pac?

You may want to let Sanders know given that he's taken money from the nurses' super pac. They expect that Sanders being elected would benefit their members.

Super pacs aren't inherently bad.

6. True - the Nurses's Pac is a result of three small unions promoting single payer health care.

So I guess I could justify Bernie's association with them because they're a 'good' Pac; their cause will benefit we the people.

Bottom line though - I want Citizen's United overturned and all SuperPacs made illegal.
