Finally a thread on this subject with common sense. A SuperPAC is hypocritical and shows a huge lack of integrity by the movement.

I agree that its hypocritical. Becoming what you've been fighting against?

Also, I smell a rat. The guy that started this thing did so on his own and I don't trust it.

The real question is, does the super PAC have free speech rights?

The real question is 'do the ends justify the means'? Is it necessary for us to use hypocritical means to achieve our ends? My answer is no.

The real question is, is this super PAC going to disclose donors and spending?

I don't know... I asked you first. Can we have a principled discussion?

I hope so.

Alright, I will go first. Does the Occupy Wall Street super PAC deserve the right to buy campaign ads and such? I support their rights wholeheartedly.

I wasn't under the impression that this was a ballgame.

I don't know how anyone vaguely supports Ron Paul.

I don't know how anyone could support any of them.

I'm too stupid to understand all that stuff he says about economics. Also it doesn't fit my predetermined conclusions.
