Should we be surprised the man who said his number one goal is to ensure Obama is a one term President also believes billionaire donors should remain anonymous? Watch it.
The voter deserves to know who is buying our democracy.............what, why & who is McConnell & the Republican Party hiding...........corporations are people & money is free speech according to Mitt Romney & the GOP, but why so secretive???????????

Bill Maher gave a million to the Obama campaign, and he didn't have a problem coming out with it .Everything with the pubs is need to know, hush hush, don't let the masses find out. After 28 years in office, McConnell is a joke. A cheap obstructionist, do nothing shill for billionaires. I don't know what it's going to take for this country to figure out that the right does not give a damn about you, unless your at least a multi-millionaire.

These guys are full of pride in themselves, greed, fear of the massive colorful 99% and think they can find the same in enough voters and by cheating, of course....(....gotta use all angles) to keep their servants, RoveSchemers, working and in place to keep themselves in their cozy enthronements. The country is literally burning while these guys fiddle.
Our country is in need of more citizens with the real fire for truth and fairness in their bellies, as in the example of Howard Dean. Yay Howard and for Big Eddie, too, and the well informed passionate bloggers here! Write on even if it feels like voices in the wilderness~

Wow, imagine if it was billionaire donors to the dems and Ried came out and said he wants their names kept secret? the neocons act like spoiled schoolyard bullies and they act like they are "entitled" to power and to the oval office!

Of course McConnell wants to supress knowledge of the corporate takeover by his handlers through secrecy. How about printing a pinnocle deck of cards with the 48 wealthiest conservative anarchist contributors to Karl Rove's Burning Cross Roads GPS and the Koch's Americans for Poverty to shed some light on the most devious - Charles Schwab, the Menards guy, the Chicago Cubs jerk, Scott Walkers shingle slinging sugar momma, ole casino Sheldon the Hun, the aspirin between the knees idiot, the Devos' of Amway fames campaign to destroy public schools, the Idaho wack job, Rick Perry's nuclear tycoon, the swift boat traitors, Mellon Skaith, etc. Name names. Pinnocle is preferred as a standard deck of cards with two thru eight would probably destroy the egos of the corporate monarchs that didn't become a face card or ace.

Of cource he, and all of them believe this nonsense, they have no idea what it is to have to want for anything, or what it means to be frugal, or what it means to actually get out there, and do hard work! They have had their little ride, with the wealthy, at their side, now, the rest of us will have ours, soon enough, when we get out there and vote! These Conservatives, with Consciences, continue to ignore what is coming, and I guess they just will have to find it out the hard way. They continue to stand there and lie about what they think the people want, or what the people stand for. Do they have anything between the ears, at all? Or are they really that dumb!

Mitch McConnell is one of those right wing nuts. Saying that the poor don't pay their fair share of taxes is totally insane. How about the wealthy and large corporations that don't pay taxes and even get refunds? Does he really think that we buy what he says since the polls show that most Americans want the wealthy and large corporations to pay more taxes? But it is impossible to make sense out of the GOP thinking since it is self-centered and only focused on a select group of Americans to the detriment of the rest of us. We want a democratic country and not a corporate entity.

I'd like to take "those anonymous" and ship them to a far island with no return air fare. I'm so tired of this "bought and paid" stuff. WI has a bought and paid for governor; I hope he will soon get his due from the John Doe Investigation.
As far as I'm concerned, Mitch McConnell and "those anonymous" have no morals. They are so far right they see nothing but themselves and the money. If anyone differs in race, creed, gender,socieconomic level or political party, - or - are the President of the United States right now, they are non-existent.
And may I add - justice will come to them.

Saw this on facebook and I have been on this blog saying how bad the citizens united was for this country for some time now. These people like mitch mc CON nell was in favor for the average person donating to a campain standing up and declaring who they were, but now it seem the hate of this president by the entire right has changed his mind on this, but only for the his wealthy friends and supporters. Why should these poor souls have to say who and what they support, as you and I know the 99% will go after them and not buy their stuff or shop at their stores. I have always said if you have the guts to give money then you should have the guts to stand up and say I gave $00000000.00 dollars to the campain or super pac. These people are cowards and just want to buy the government as they have the money to buy everything else and the country is the biggest prize they can win. The Roberts court has sold this country out to the highest bidder, and the president was correct calling them out in his state of the union speech. Money doesnt mean you have more rights than anyone else, and no corporation is a person. A corporation isnt born, it doesnt go to school, fall in love, marry, have childern, work, grow old and die. This is the life of a person not a corporation. The five judges who voted for these two things should be thrown off the court, or if not have this shown as the darkest days of the court.
