    And we know that's BS as well. You supported the lawless OWS scumbags.

    Own your dishonor.

    I agree and made the same point.

    Didn't Romney also criticize super pacs as well? But he's been using them big time. That's the rules.

    So why the double standard against Obama?

    We know why.

    Conservatives are weird. They don't want their tax payer money to go to rebuilding our infrastructure or feeding the poor but they do want their tax payer money to fund Obama's campaign.

    Luv it. Leftists must own their dishonor and wear their hypocrisy like a scarlet letter. Leftists probably don't know about the literary reference.

    So, why don't you people prove your great leadership potential and abandon all of your superpacs right away?
    Lead the way, sonny.
    It would be a great way to show Obama up and impress the voters.
    Or are you just spouting more of your dishonest faux outrage?

    Hmmmm

    Good excuse.

    So what was it about Obama 2.008 that did not see their benefits, only saw them as bad that Obama V 2.012 now greets with greedy opens arms.

    It is because he is shot scared that he has to "fight fire with fire?"

    Wow, I just love all the tired, trite and worn out justifications.

    Now it's a form of change the system from within. Obama has the lead, he has the power of the incumbency, Air Force One, the Presidential Seal, $1 billion in campaign funds [he says] and he STILL needs super pacs?


    Some one is scared. Or just greedy

    No partisanship is blind. Of course it is hypocritical to criticize something and then do it.

    And who is it on this thread who is all to ready to point that out on the slightest occasion, but defends it on this one?

    What do they call that again? Hypocrisy?

    Not true at all. You can criticize the system you are forced to deal with without being hypocritical.

    Exactly!...normal people call it changing your mind based on new information.

    Righties like things black and white...kind of a romantic spin on the old "stay the course" thing.

    You're not talking about Obama but yourself aren't you? You see, Obama criticized the superpac process and then he realized he could benefit from it and so will participate in the process he villified.

    So, he has his lackey plead with ya'll to please understand that the repubs made him a victim and he just has to do this dirty deed.

    He is a hypocrite. You will admit that won't you?

    None of obamabots will call him a flipflopper. They have nullified that word for him. That is hypocritical.

    Oh, he just changed his mind, ya know, presidents do that all the time ya'll.:fart:

    He criticized the process but realized that if he doesn't work within that system he'll be at a huge disadvantage.

    Sorry. This doesn't make him a hypocrite at all.

    And you're going to tell us to support Mitt Flip Romney as president?

    Now what does that make you?
