Recommended Posts

Always glad to see Bloomberg's money being flushed down the toilet on a losing proposition and this is just another case of the people getting really on the 2nd Amendment Wagon and supporting those that support the Constitution...............jmho

I'm surprised that the yankees had enough common sense to vote him back in. :shrug:

 

I am VERY glad Bloomberg lost even though the money was just a drop in the bucket for him. How is it that idiots like him get this wealthy to begin with...luck? "Better to be lucky than good."

The system is beyond broken when an extremist like bloomburg can spend millions on races throughout the country. Where is the representation.
Fix? Limit on campaign spending, for all! Maybe 10k for mailings and 3 televised debates on NPR. We already pay for NPR so why not.

I'm glad Sheriff Clarke won this primary.  He's proof that there are pro-gun Democrats out there.  We need more of that, I think.

SCOTUS has already ruled that money equals speech in spending on pretty much any political donations unless they are to a candidate and a state party.  They even struck down the rule that capped the total number of donations making it legal for you to donate the max to every candidate, for every office, in every race.

 

My fix would be simple: if a candidate is not on your ballot, you can't donate money to the candidate.  I think there is a compelling interest in trying to regulate political donations to help fund only those who would serve and represent where someone lives.  PAC donations should be limited to only PAC's that are operated from the area the donor is from.  That way one PAC like Bloomberg's Independence USA PAC can't just set up a P.O. Box to collect checks and put that money into elections nationwide.

Wisconsin has some flaming liberal socialists but there's alot of gun and constitution believers there also. I wouldn't consider it in the same league as New England and California.

 

Glad to see Bloomberg waste his money but he will keep trying of course.
