    It does make him a liar. Just because you say so, doesn't break my argument.

    he totally trashed the SC for their ruling, than he turns around and does exactly what they ruled in favor of. lmao

    Sure, sport, that's why liberals all suffered brain farts in 2008 and started spewing out a barrage of racist insults from every quarter.
    I remember the jokes about Obama the witch doctor with a bone through his nose.
    The dollar bills with pictures of Obama munching on watermelons.
    Limbo and his magic negro taunts.
    The slurs against Michelle and her nappy-haired, underserving daughters.
    The white trailer trash rednecks parading in front of faux news microphones gnashing their teeth hysterically and weeping about having to take their white house back.
    And let's not forget the birthers and their Kenyan usurper obsessions.

    The fact is that there is an inbred clan of deeply racist Americans, all right-wingers, who are congenitally incapable of accepting the fact that we have a black president, and they have been on a rampage of hysterical, racist attacks since Obama won the election.
    They did not wait to judge his policies. His skin color was all they needed to go ballistic.

    Thats not a lie, you have not one argument to call him a liar.

    Again lying would be obama saying he doesnt use superpacs while his people were out raising them on his orders.

    No, we attack him AND his outrageously gullible sheeple, who continue to pretend that the biggest campaign spender in US HISTORY is "against Big money in politics"....

    Thats simple fact :

    http://elections.nytimes.com/2012/campaign-finance

    80% of obama donations are under 2500$ 53% under 200

    40% of romney donations are under 2500$ 11% under 200



    http://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...-study-shows/2012/02/08/gIQANfKIzQ_story.html

    Nearly half of the donors to Obama’s reelection campaign in 2011 gave $200 or less, more than double the proportion seen in 2007, according to the analysis from the Campaign Finance Institute, which tracks money in politics.


    Just 9 percent of donors to possible GOP front-runner Mitt Romney, by contrast, were at the lowest end of the contribution scale, the study shows.

    In fact, Obama raised more money in aggregate from small-dollar donors — $56.7 million — than Romney raised overall.

    Yeeah...rigth, and Obama's contributors include Mickey Mouse, Goofy,and Daffy Duck as well....spare us the 'hanging chad " bullcrap, please.


    However, it does allow for the fraud of the Obama campaign in 2008 when Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and a host of their friends made these relatively small contributions. In fact, donations under $200 accounted for 1/3 of candidate Obama’s war chest. Because donations under $200 don’t have to accounted for, and no names have to be given, this is a loophole that unscrupulous politicians can use to get around campaign finance rules

    No one here is stupid enough to not see through the Sleazocrat bullcrap and deceit...

    I'm sure that he won't say squat, and hope that the Leftninny Lemmings keep on trying to pretend that he didn't just get caught in ANOTHER HUGE LIE about his campaign financing, and his bullcrap statements claiming to oppse "Big Money in elections", after having SET THE RECORD IN ELECTION EXPENDITURES....

    As I asked...do you even realize how hilariously silly the Leftniny attempts to mitigate Obama's duplicity on this thread are...?

    You guys are KILLING US......!! :laughing:

    “We were faced with a situation as to whether we could afford to play by two sets of rules,” Axelrod said on MSNBC’s Morning Joe. “That doesn't mean that we believe that this is the best way for the system to function.”

    voters can pick a guy who says big money in politics is bad but the only way to win currently

    or a guy who says big money is good and we need more of it.

    The Super PAC is the thermonuclear device of the Campaign world. Once one side has it, all of the others need it in order not to get wiped out. It makes sense to me.

    Also, The Super PAC can run the nasty name-calling adds while the President's campaign money can go to a nice and civil ad campaign. If the Conservatives do not like it, they only have their conservative Supreme Court Justices to blame for it.

    Oh great, another forum leftie trying to play Leftninny Word Dance.

    Obama declared "Super Pacs" to be a "threat to our democracy", and then got his VERY OWN "threat to our democracy".

    Are they no longer "a threat to our democracy", or was he lying when he said it, or is he deliberatley trying to "threaten our democracy" himself?

    Prior to that, he SWORE that he would take ONLY public camaign financing, and then DID THE EXACT OPPOSITE; in addition, he has been wailing about how "bad" Big money is for elections, despite the fact that his OWN 2008 campaign DEFINES "Big Money in elections".

    Now, come back with the asinine " what IS the meaning of 'IS' " nonsense, and try to pretend that all of that does not constitute blatant duplicity on Obama's part....wait a minute...Ok, I'm ready now! :popcorn: ... on with the show!!

    None of that is the opposite of what he did, or even hypocritical.

    We are talking about super pacs in this election.

    You claimed he did just he opposite of what he said.

    Which you've now shown was just an asinine thing to say.

    They are a threat to our democracy. They're also legal, and being used by the opposition. If Obama wants to get re-elected, he's going to have to fight fire with fire. Once he wins re-election, he'll more than likely push to get Citizens United overturned.

    Of course.

    Let's all pretend that it WASN'T OBAMA who already has SET THE RECORD for presidential campaign expenditures,right, BEFORE Suoer pacs; there is nothing going on now to indicate that he will not, once again, while decrying the effects of "Big money on elections", set the NEW RECORD for campaign expenditures, virtually DEFINING what he so pompously claims to be against.

    Of course, as the forum left posts on this thread prove, such actions do NOT constitute DUPLICITY, in Leftninny Goofyworld, that is.

    Absolutely hysterical...

    Why all the lies and dishonesty? This isn't the first time Obama has rejected limits on spending and opted to rake in all the cash, from whatever source, he could lay his dishonest hands on (while crying crocodile tears over the influence of money on elections).http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/20/us/politics/20obamacnd.html

    Obama has no intention of honoring campaign funding limits and never has,
    Citizens United or not!

    When John McCain said he would only accept federal funds for his campaign, and invited Obama to do the same, Obama became the only major presidential candidate in history to turn his back on federal funding and grab records amount of cash with both hands (literally...record amounts of money was spent by the Obama campaign)!
    That a bunch of leftist goofballs and quislings choose to try and defend such mega hypocrisy is mind boggling!
