Oh. Well, campaign finance has been a big topic. Frankly I don't care that much about Obamacara. I think it was a stupid way to try and solve our health care problems. It was originally the Republicans' plan, but as soon as Obama picked it up, they decided they didn't like it after all.

To me the more important issue is Citizens United which the Supreme Court forced down the states' throats earlier this week with nary a whimper. As far as I'm concerned the U.S. government is now for sale to the highest bidder. My 15 bucks will make no difference against the billions that special interests have to buy up politicians. And my vote will be drowned out by voters who are being systematically misinformed by the media.

That's how I see it anyway.
