I must admit that when Citizens United was upheld by the Supreme Court, I thought we were doomed. Super Pacs turned up in record numbers, several being orchestrated by Carl Rove. Then we found out who some of the biggest donors were, Bob Perry, Harold Simmons, T. Boone Pickens, Shelden Adelson and The Koch Brothers among the most well known.

Why would anyone pour hundreds of millions of dollars into an election? What do they want in return? They aren’t there to give, they are there to receive.

I imagined that we would be inundated with negative ads, which we were, and that the Super Pacs would have an unfair advantage in the election. Boy was I wrong, American’s proved me wrong, and I am so happy about it, I should have had more faith that comm0n sense would win out in the end.

All I have to say to Sheldon Adelson and the Koch Brothers is thanks. Thank you for the economic stimulus.

Good question, what do you think it is?

Tonight on the Ed Show Ed Schultz asked: “What will do more damage to Mitt’s campaign: releasing his tax returns, or NOT releasing his tax returns?”  

My initial reaction was that I honestly don’t know. He released 23 years of tax returns to the John McCain campaign in 2008, so why not release 23 years now? 

I suspect that he’s hiding multiple things in his tax returns:

• Income from Bain Capitol for years that he says he was no longer involved, those missing 4 years between 1999 and 2003.
• Many off shore accounts.
• Involvement in many off shore companies.
• Tax rates below 10% or maybe not having to pay taxes at all for some years.

If he doesn’t release his tax returns he’ll just go on deflecting the question and changing the subject back to Obama. This classic Republican tactic of deflection is starting to run out of steam we see it so often these days.

I’ll have to wait for the Poll results to find out.

What do you think?

And the Poll results are:

Releasing his returns 59%
NOT releasing the returns 41%

You have to watch these two wonderful women, Senator Lena Taylor of Wisconsin and Senator Nina Turner of Ohio. Once again the Republicans put Corporations over Women.

This is our call to action women, we need to come together and vote out all Republican that currently holds State or Federal Elected office.  These men are so arrogant they think they can force us to do anything and we will just lie down and take it.  Not in this Country and not in this Century!

Our vote counts, there are more of us then there are of them. Come on women, join us in this life changing effort.
