REPUBLICAN MONEY VCAN'T BUY EVERYTHING IT WANTS

President Obama says voting in the United States needs to be fixed.  There was $390,000,000 spent to win the election for Republicans.  Even with attempts to suppress voting, they failed and Republicans had a very wide loss.  I can't stop thinking about what all that money would have done to help bright young people get to reach their potential and be trained to do great things for our future; fund research to help our medical futures; or think of it applied to repair the failing bridges.

I'm not sorry to have seen the money leave the pockets of the greedy wealthy who would rather lose it in this gamble than pay taxes to help the country.  Well, the people who made up the ads will pay taxes on their income, hopefully.  All who worked on the campaign as paid employees will pay taxes, hopefully.  In fact, the great expenditure must have helped the economy somewhat.  However, those who paid $50,000 for dinner cannot be particularly happy today.

Karl Rove is squirming.  He is trying to explain his failure.  He says organizations like Crossroads is necessary to fight the among of money President Obama had to spend in the first two months to demonize Romney.  Of course, if Romney was being demonized it was because the truth was being told about him, unlike the many lies Rove had to supply to try to demonize the President.  Robert Reich calls those who gave big money to 'invest' (not donate) to keep taxes low and get other benefits they may not receive now. I can't believe that anyone who gave out those amounts will really miss it, unlike the middle and poor class who sent small amounts to the President's campaign   The Re[publican big spenders/gamblers spent for greed, hoping for results that would not work well for anyone but them.  Those who contributed to President Obama were hoping for our democracy to function again and to have a more level playing field.  They made their point and the fact that there are more of them than the top 1% with the money not with the many other groups insulted and threatened by the Republican platform.

What will it take for people to see that it should not be a game of who can get together a group to fake the public out to vote for a poor candidate, but rather, a team who will support a candidate who has the best goals for the people and has shown it?
