Is Putin Backing Trump

At least with the Saudis backing Clinton and Russia backing Trump, we have more than just our own people and process to blame for the mess we're in.

Now there are rumors that it was the Russian Olympic weightlifting team that was behind the DNC hacks.

I agree with you totally about countries getting thier money out of our politics and also overturning citizens untied so neither party benifits from it. Here is a couoke articles that says more republicans were elected with it. I am Not sure which way any of thsee articles writers and organizations lean overall.

Putin will prefer one candidate over another based on what he thinks is best for his country. I don't think he'd support a candidate based on the needs of the middle class in the US.

I agree with that but it still does not make it right though.

I just don't think him backing any particular candidate is an indictment of that candidate or their character. I think Trump is a reckless demagogue but I don't think Putin liking or disliking him really matters to us.

there has been 1 national presidential and 1 midterm election since citizens united - the Rs took over the Senate and some governorships in that time, only because of Citizens United, has nothing to do with an electorate fed up with Obama's policies.

Curious to know this - if you want big money interests out of politics, does that include unions too? I'm fine with it if you get rid of all big money special interests. If not, then it's a free for all.

I mention unions didn't I? Get the money out of everything but also make it easier for workers to join a union if they want to. Because you know big business hates unions and Republicans have been trying to stamp them out which needs to stop. Right to work states blow when the employer has all the power and the worker is powerless.

you mentioned unions but you didn't say you had a problem with their money in elections. I'm just trying to see if you're a hypocrite about Citizens United.

Whatever the hell are you taliking about . Read it again I posted the article and said unions benefit from citzens united but it's laughable to think that Republicans have not benefited more and you conveniently skipped how Republicans have done nothing but try and crush labor unions in favor of the employer and you freaking now it. I want it over turned my guess is you don't.

you still haven't said whether you think it's bad that unions have benefited from CU. At least turd has the stones to admit he's a hypocrite when he says he's fine with union money in elections. Please just answer the question.

I'd hope people could separate the benefits of employees being able to collectively bargain and unions lining the pockets of politicians.

The problem with your argument though is that unions exist for the benefit of the working classes. The impetus of people's disdain for CU is the negative impact on the middle class along with environment and health consequences.

that's funny. unions may have at one time existed for the benefit of the working class but that's hardly the case now.

You told me to answer the question and I did. But like always you don't and deflect like you always do. Novel concept hack. I did in fact say unions are befitting from citizens united and posted a article on it. But you called me a hypocrite which is a complete lie. I want it overturned. We know a Trump presidency which you seem to be fighting for on this board will not overturn it. I do not know if Clinton will but Sanders is trying to push he to do so.Do you want it overturned ?
