		<title>Comment on More &#8220;SuperPAC&#8221; disinformation from Colbert and Potter by Brian Thornber</title>

		<description>I think I&#039;m missing something. It seems to me that Colbert&#039;s point was NOT that we won&#039;t know who is giving money to his PAC, but rather we won&#039;t know who is giving money to his PAC via his 501(c)(4). In other words, it wouldn&#039;t be shocking to see the NRA give a Republican PAC some money, but it probably would be shocking to see Rachel Maddow give money to an NRA 501(c)(4) which would then give it to a Republican PAC. She could basically give to a PAC anonymously, if she so desired, and her fans would be none the wiser. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course I could be misreading this whole thing.</description>

		<description>The following are 14 reasons why Rick Perry would be a really, really bad president.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#1 Rick Perry is a &quot;big government&quot; politician.  When Rick Perry became the governor of Texas in 2000, the total spending by the Texas state government was approximately $49 billion.  Ten years later it was approximately $90 billion.  That is not exactly reducing the size of government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#2 The debt of the state of Texas is out of control.  According to usdebtclock.org, the debt to GDP ratio in Texas is 22.9% and the debt per citizen is $10,645.  In California (a total financial basket case), the debt to GDP ratio is just 18.7% and the debt per citizen is only $9932.  If Rick Perry runs for president these are numbers he will want to keep well hidden.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#3 The total debt of the Texas government has more than doubled since Rick Perry became governor.  So what would the U.S. national debt look like after four (or eight) years of Rick Perry?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#4 Rick Perry has spearheaded the effort to lease roads in Texas to foreign companies, to turn roads that are already free to drive on into toll roads, and to develop the Trans-Texas Corridor which would be part of the planned NAFTA superhighway system.  If you really do deep research on this whole Trans-Texas Corridor nonsense you will see why no American should ever cast a single vote for Rick Perry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#5 Rick Perry claims that he has a &quot;track record&quot; of not raising taxes.  That is a false claim.  Rick Perry has repeatedly raised taxes and fees while he has been governor.  Today, Texans are faced with significantly higher taxes and fees than they were before Rick Perry was elected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#6 Even with the oil boom in Texas, 23 states have a lower unemployment rate than Texas does.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#7 Back in 1988, Rick Perry supported Al Gore for president.  In fact, Rick Perry actually served as Al Gore&#039;s campaign chairman in the state of Texas that year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#8 Between December 2007 and April 2011, weekly wages in the U.S. increased by about 5 percent.  In the state of Texas they increased by just 0.6% over that same time period.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#9 Texas now has one of the worst education systems in the nation.  The following is from an opinion piece that was actually authored by Barbara Bush earlier this year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&#039;We rank 36th in the nation in high school graduation rates. An estimated 3.8 million Texans do not have a high school diploma.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We rank 49th in verbal SAT scores, 47th in literacy and 46th in average math SAT scores.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We rank 33rd in the nation on teacher salaries.&#039;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#10 Rick Perry attended the Bilderberg Group meetings in 2007.  Associating himself with that organization should be a red flag for all American voters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#11 Texas has the highest percentage of workers making minimum wage out of all 50 states.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#12 Rick Perry often gives speeches about illegal immigration, but when you look at the facts, he has been incredibly soft on the issue.  If Rick Perry does not plan to secure the border, then he should not be president because illegal immigration is absolutely devastating many areas of the southwest United States.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#13 In 2007, 221,000 residents of Texas were making minimum wage or less.  By 2010, that number had risen to 550,000.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#14 Rick Perry actually issued an executive order in 2007 that would have forced almost every single girl in the state of Texas to receive the Gardasil vaccine before entering the sixth grade.  Perry would have put parents in a position where they would have had to fill out an application and beg the government not to inject their child with an untested and unproven vaccine. Since then, very serious safety issues regarding this vaccine have come to light.  Fortunately, lawmakers in Texas blocked what Perry was trying to do.  According to Wikipedia, many were troubled when &quot;apparent financial connections between Merck and Perry were reported by news outlets, such as a $6,000 campaign contribution and Merck&#039;s hiring of former Perry Chief of Staff Mike Toomey to handle its Texas lobbying work.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rick Perry has a record that should make all Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians and Independents cringe.</description>

		<description>This is an underhanded way to accomplish the objective of forcing taxpayers to pay for political campaigns. All bids for government contracts would have to include extra money to cover the tax. Taxpayers pay more and the slush fund is directed back to the politicians for their attempt to take or hold power.</description>

		<description>For the common good? Citi claims it will refrain from gouging customers excessively with overdraft fees when it starts clearing checks in reverse order. Thanks to financial reform, banks need permission from consumers to enroll them in debit overdraft protection, however the same requirement for checking accounts escaped regulation. By clearing checks written for smaller amounts first, Citi is keeping itself from stealing as much money as it has in the past with bogus fees. I read this here: Citi to give customers a break by clearing smallest checks first&lt;br /&gt;</description>

		<description>I enjoyed finding your response to the &quot;right to lie.&quot;  While, as a layman, I had trouble digesting all the legal twist and turns, it appears that FOX argued its right to censure or prevent information not suiting its editorial guidelines.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since &quot;editorial guidelines&quot; can be anything at all, it doesn&#039;t seem like a strong commitment to the &quot;truth.&quot;</description>
