Mitt Romney: 'We've Gotta Rethink Campaign Finance'

[brooklynite]

WASHINGTON -- Former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney called for campaign finance reform in the wake of the explosion of super PACs, which can receive unlimited sums of money from corporations, unions and individuals.

"We've really got a mess in the financial system with regard to campaigns right now," the 2012 nominee said Wednesday in an interview at The Atlantic's Washington Ideas Forum.

“We’ve gotta rethink campaign finance," he added.

The former Massachusetts governor said it is a problem that shadowy super PACs can take "unlimited amounts of money," while candidates themselves are "very strictly limited" in the amount of funding they are able to raise.

4. Bold thinking there, Mr. Romney

Though his main objection, as I read his remarks, is that the Big Money Boyz can't give unlimited money to the puppet of their choice.
