It seems that PACs throw money around to buy votes, so how are citizens to cope? My answer is to tune out all the stuff they will throw our way via TV, radio, etc.
Money buys power regardless of the candidate’s background, as all we will see and hear are how wonderful these sheep in wolves’ clothing are.
PACs are a national disgrace allowed by, of all people, the Supreme Court.
The powers that be wonder why people don’t vote. With money against people, nobody wins but the fat cats backing their people who will serve them to the detriment of us all.
