Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for October 10, 2014

’Bout right.

I’m in favor of enforcing truth in advertising laws during political campaigns.It should cut down on ads by about 75%.And jail some candidates before they get elected, instead of after.

Throw away the key.

You should have gone for money laundering like Tom DeLay , then use your campaign funds to pay for your defense, spend the time you would’ve been in prison out on appeal, then get judges beholden to your party to throw out your conviction.Ezzy peezy.

YEP ! The land and money belong to the lawyers / politicians. Might is right and money is power, after all, it’s the winners who write the laws and history. Indeed, there is a civil war II coming, hopefully not in my lifetime, I am too old to be brave anymore, but I do cry for my grand children.

So “Hope and Change” will put a politician in the White House and a business man in jail.

I bet “If you like your plan, you can keep your plan.” Would too.

Bit like ‘Mission accomplished’

Ok, " None Of The Above, But ME". OK let us really screw up the system. Not to put you down, Just new ideas, or b.s. as you wish.

Is that Gaddafi’s Little Green Book he’s reading?

You have to first declare your intentions before collecting funds; PACS do it for political mud slinging, scammers do it for themselves.

@SizeofaPea. When we can stop unions contributing to politicians that their members do not support, then we can talk about corporations.

Union money is one of the largest factors skewing elections. When we stop that, we can discuss the other money.

BTW, if you have a 401k or Roth IRA, YOU are the corporations.

I just want them to outlaw negative ads. The voters should research the candidate, not rely on his opponent to educate them. First negative ad and you’re outta there.

oh, just another republican sitting out a term; he will likely be back when some lobbyist campaigns for him next term…..

There you go . . . thinking logically again.

@HardthoughtIf a union member owns stock in his corporation, does that make him a corporation? And if so, will his split personality lead him to write to “Dear Abby”?

Been known to simply write my on name on the ballot.

It would be nice to find a blank line to check and write in the Irish candidate None o’Above.

32 individuals contributed more money in the last presidential election than all other donors combined. That makes it seem like it is impossible for the middle class to have any say in what happens in this country. Nothing could be further from the truth. Those 32 people only have 32 votes. The Middle Class has millions…………………………………………………………………………….

………………The only thing that is going to save the Middle Class is the Middle Class. We are the 99%—- that means we have the votes to elect people who will actually represent middle class workers and provide a safety net for those who are trying to get into the middle class.We all need to know WHO is supporting the candidates. That is who they will be working for. They have no choice if they want to stay in office. You have to do the bidding of whoever is paying your way, just the same as we all do in our jobs. So, before going to vote, look it up on the internet. Open Secrets is a good site, but there are plenty ………………………………………………………………………….………………….. If the candidate is getting their money from small donors or from unions, they are going to be working for middle class working people. If their donations are from corporations or from 1%ers, that’s who their votes are going to be working for. They are not going to go against them and do anything to help the middle class.

“corporations contribute ten times the amount”I call BS. 80% of the top ten political donors, 1989-2014, are leftist, mostly unions.http://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/list.phpSorry to burst your bubble, but lefties sling most of the campaign cash in this country.

You can take back a news story and overturn a conviction, but you cannot remove the idea of a thing from common knowledge. Once people know something, it will remain truth no matter what contradictory facts come to light. That is the essential purpose of the Big Lie. All truths become lesser and are rendered false when they contradict what is known for certain to be 100% right.The Earth is flat , demons live in the heads of political opponents that may be released by trepanation, and bears will eat you.I still believe that last one to be true, by the way.

“I guess the law Delay was convicted under not existing until 2 years after the supposed crime took place had nothing to do with the conviction being thrown out?”-————————————————————————-You must mean the Republican lawmakers’ clarification of the Texas money-laundering statute to keep people like DeLay from saying they’re not guilty because they did the deed by check rather than cash.

Comparing what’s said in a political ad to stealing someone’s money by fraud???

I actually did that as a ‘Write In’ on my last mail-in Ballot.I’m sure it made the bean counters mad….

“Since now Money IS Speech, Speech is no longer Free” —Jim Hightower.Publicly financed elections, no more than three weeks long, might be enough to even things up a bit; watch how Europeans do it for some examples.
