And there's the most fucked up part of that:

Bain owns Clear Channel.
How much of that money was spent for advertising on Clear Channel stations?
A billion of that?
Advertising from BOTH sides?
How much did Romney profit from that?

It's like the whole thing was a scam to move cash from donors to Romney's pocket via his ownership in Clear Channel. Even money that I donated to the Obama campaign went into Romney's pocket.

I really despise our election system...
