Colbert and his Super PAC

Posted on: January 14th, 2012 by ecthompson md No Comments

Stephen Colbert has clearly illustrated how ridiculous our political system is by forming his own super PAC (political action committee). One would figure, because we do not want foreign governments and other outside interests involved in our political process, that there would be some sort of background check before you could own a super PAC. Nope. This whole system needs to be changed. This whole thing about coordination needs to be clarified. The fact that you can transfer a PAC from one person to the other with less paperwork than it takes to sell a house is very disturbing.

I think he did a good job at showing how absolutely crazy the whole thing has become. Our freshman senator Lee asked if he could have a superpac in his name to give money to the people he felt believed in the American system. Thankfully he was turned down. But I don't think it really matters it is all about who has the biggest account. Sounds like a get out the ruler and see who is more of a man situation.
