Koch Brothers, Allies Pledge $100 Million At Private Meeting To Beat Obama

OK, so we know Gingrich or Romney is no match to Obama. So, are they just planning on buying the election for either one of the two Republicans? This really makes me angry and terrifies me. With SO MUCH $$$ there is no way they can win legally. I wish Obama had double this amount. Scary stuff here.

There are some things money can't buy. No matter how much lipstick they put on that pig, it will still be a pig. No amount of money will make people like Romney.

Linda McMahon spent $40 million in Connecticut on her campaign to replace Chris Dodd in the Senate. Didn't matter. She still lost the election 53% to 43%.

Yeah,but with that much money I worry about voting machines. I worry about voter intimidation. Other right wing tactics. If this were a fair election that is one thing but we know what they have done and what they are capable of doing. I want Obama to assure me, "Romantico, Chill out! I got this!&quot although in my head I hear Samuel Jackson and he is dropping a couple F bombs in that sentence)
