What does a billion dollars of hidden special interest spending get you?
Nothing.
Power to the voter!
Long lines, sticking it out until the wee hours of the morning, boots on the ground, knocking on doors – real democracy in action, not money buying an election.
To all the voters out there: you rock!
… now all we need is to figure out how to get this kind of motivation for the 2014 midterm election, too… ;)
And to Karl Rove, King of the Super PACs:
1% return on investment for Crossroads Super PAC? Well done, Karl Rove (though I’m sure it padded your pockets quite nicely in the process). I’m sure all the donors are very happy with the election results you managed to achieve spending their billions of dollars on divisive campaign ads and marketing campaigns: losing the Presidential election, losing seats in the Senate, and losing seats in the House. The Voters won this round.
