Let's Get This Straight: They Can Spend Whatever They Want, He's Not Allowed, And You Can't

About one-in-four (25%) Americans know about the anonymous spending that went on in the 2010 elections. In other words, most people either don't know (or more likely don't care) about the "Citizens United"  ruling that allowed corporations to spend whatever they want to influence elections. It looks like a considerably higher amount may hear about Keith Olbermann being suspended indefinitely for contributing to Democrats. There will be much debate about journalism ethics, although the reality is that Olbermann is not a reporter, he's a partisan, much like Glenn Beck (although way less crazy). I guess it's ok for the Chamber of Commerce to spend millions, but it's not ok for Olbermann to donate thousands.

The real sad reality here? Most of you reading this can't write a check for several hundred dollars, let alone thousands. Who's this system stacked towards again?
