"You have PAC A gives to PAC B and PAC B to PAC C and C to D. The candidate has D's money, but in fact it came from A. That's a smoke-and-mirrors game."--former Alabama Secretary of State Jim Bennett

ReplyDeleteThis makes it easier to do a quick look-see when PACs are mentioned in news articles.
Supposedly the legislature banned PAC tomfoolery.
Sure they did.
It should be labeled the groups who take populist choice out of elections!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThere's a letter to the editor in today's Birmingham News calling for transparency.

When I look at this PAC list the first thing that comes to my mind is just more of the same old murkiness that is an endemic sickness in our political process.
PACs are shell games plain and simple.
Deceased presidential persuaders of a greenish hue come from so many places. Out of corporate lawyers pockets courtesy of inflated law firm expenses is one that springs to mind.

ReplyDelete800 plus pacs....mind blowing.
ReplyDeleteIs it just me or is anyone else put off with the idea of lobbyists running pacs knowing those same lobbyists are slinking around the statehouse arm twisting the legislators? That's a real easy way to slide a little gold into the elected officials kitty too.
