I wrote this in another thread but I think it should be a topic all on its own, and of course my love of conspiracies comes into play here

Should Presidential nominees accept money from corporations and interest groups??

If it IS true as Dr. Paul says, and as I believe, that the politicians are chosen by investors and private interest groups using fundraiser$$$ Then maybe we shouldn't be looking at the media controlled poll numbers at all. We SHOULD be looking at their cash flow (By fundraising only)

In 2008 Obama's Hope and Change message radiated throughout America and he raises an astonishing: $750 Million
McCain only raised $320 Million.

So with this in mind let's see who's REALLY leading the pack

Obama is in the lead with $70 Million: http://www.politico....1011/65845.html

Rick Perry comes in first place with $17.2 Million http://www.huffingto..._n_1012649.html

Mitt Romney comes in second place with $15 Million http://www.huffingto..._n_1012649.html

Ron Paul Comes in third place with $8 Million and is growing (From Paul's Facebook Page) )

Herman Cain is in forth with only $2.8 Billion: http://www.cnbc.com/...will_be_tougher

The difference here is that Ron Paul's money comes from everyday people and our Soldiers. While both Mitt Romney and Obama tap big banks and special interests.http://www.opensecre....php?cycle=2012

This isn't a conspiracy. We know about pacs and super pacs and the Occupy Wall Street movement was founded specifically and explicitly on the goal of lessening money's influence in politics. This is a big issue in politics. So yeah, this is no conspiracy.

Rick Perry's top contributors are oil companies. I guess that explains why he censored reports that showed that global warming was affecting Texas. Hint: When you have to censor facts, your scientific position is probably wrong.

Also, you say "your love of conspiracies" is playing a role in you labeling this a conspiracy. I forget how many times I've told you some variant of this jjf3, but facts are independent of your feelings about them. Don't let your "love" for something cloud your vision about objective reality. I like Harry Potter but that doesn't mean I think it's real.

I know but even with theses facts ppl will not see it and deny it, although that's as well as any theory I guess
