The pattern is to first get ridiculous. Exaggerate. A casino spends $20 million locally, and now it's "any business at all as a "megacorporation"".

You use that one over and over. Any example becomes "every", or "all". Slide right into the silly.

Next, not discussing the issue. It is the recent development of the Super-PACs, which didn't exist in 2008. Wander off over the horizon and hope people follow.

Third, the "old hat" argument. It's never bothered anyone before. Those Super-PACs didn't exist before.

Related to old hat is "who cares".

It's not about resolving issues, it's about winning an argument. And any tactic is fair.

Not much to admire there.

The reality is that money can buy elections. The vast majority of voters operate only on vague perceptions. Many people voted for GWB because he was a "God-fearing man". Never mind he was a nut who heard God talking to him.

Or "family values". Republicans traditionally believe in "family values" for everyone else. Don't follow them personally, but are perceived as being in favor of families, virtue, anti-drug, anti-gambling and so on. If you don't believe me, listen to Rush. I forgot, you do. Those foggy notions drive many, many voters, the ignorant ones. And repetition is part of the big lie, and money buys repetition.

Anyway, your post was typical. And not at all intellectually honest.
