  Oh and the Citizens United ruling was such a great success that they thought they'd just pave the way for a fire sale of the US government ....

  And who is lining up behind George Soros for the same?

  It was bad enough that the Court's previous decision allowed the wealthy to buy the Congress and the Senate. But now, they can buy Court Justices, too.
  
  Oh, what a great country we live in...

  This is really not good. So 2016 will be Sheldon Adelson vs. George Soros?

  The comparison of George Soros to Sheldon Adelson fails as much as that of Fox to MSNBC.
  
  Just because one is to the left and one is to the right does not mean they are equal counterparts.
  
  Furnish the proof of how Soros came close to what Adelson did with the 2012 election, primarily bankrolling a candidate as Adelson had done with Gingrich's campaign. Not even close.

  Soros would be better compared to the Koch Brothers, not Adelson.

  TIME FOR PUBLIC FINANCING OF ELECTIONS
  
  http://america.aljazeera.com/opinions/2014/4/scotus-supreme-courtmccutcheonvfeccampaignfinancepublicfinancing.html
  
  
  - Public financed campaigns with minimal financing. Make the people running do the most with what they have to work with and they all have the same amount to work with. The money that is currently being spend on campaigns is obscene. Put everyone on a level playing field. And may the best people win.
  
  - Remove all forms of political donations, including the ability to contribute to your own campaign, from citizens, and from corporations.
  
  - Make it illegal for Congress to do insider trading.
