Eileen Smith Editor, In the Pink Texas :
Donor bullying? Seriously? While we definitely have a problem with bullying in this country it's not typically against billionaires. It's usually against the poor and defenseless. Let's face it. A guy who can buy an election and still have enough money left over to buy a handful of private islands, Rupert Murdoch, and a planet or two cannot be bullied.
If the wealthiest conservatives want to spend their money on a political candidacy with no credibility and zero transparency, that is, apparently, their right. Sure, they could spend their fortunes on philanthropic efforts such as reducing poverty or funding crucial medical research but getting Mitt Romney elected is a much more worthy cause. So the next time you start complaining about the one percent, just remember that without their money, your vote might actually count. And who wants that?
