here's the actual quote instead of a cherry picked line. what doesnt make sense?

Sigh ... as I said, related to the Citzen's United ruling. Completely ****ing tone deaf to the Citizens United ruling. Especially as just this week it was discovered Romeny had received millions in donations from several shell corporations, corporations created only to donate to Romney under PAC rules, then dissolved. That's what hangs Romney, and why the hecklers were so angry.

Here, today, op-ed in Boston Globe:

WASHINGTON --Two non-partisan campaign-finance watchdogs today filed additional complaints with the Federal Election Commission and US attorney general about contributions made by obscure companies to a political action committee supporting Mitt Romney.

....

The Campaign Legal Center and Democracy 21 had lodged complaints last week about a $1 million contribution to the committee from a company called W Spann, whose owner was not listed on campaign or corporate records.

....

The new complaints allege that $2 million worth of contributions from two other companies – Utah-based F8 LLC and Eli Publishing -- also may have violated federal campaign finance law. Their owners’ names also were not listed on campaign finance reports, and the compaints suggest they also may be shell companies used solely to make the contributions.

Still no clue - still talking about doing more road work. Guess who pays for that? Taxpayers. It never ends with this guy.

I'd rather spend tax money on road work in America and hire Americans to do it than 80% of the other crap they spend it on... especially all the money we give other countries.

Well, hell yeah, if they can eliminate foreign aid, contributions to the U.N., World Bank, and International Money Fund and fix the roads instead - that's a win win.

If that's what he means (I doubt it) I'll support him on that. I think he meant to increase taxes with this as a pretext, and keep sending money out of the country where it does us no good.

Like naming the CEO of one of the worlds largest and most profitable companies to your personal team? The one company in the top 10 that pays zero taxes, coincidence?
