Democracy For Sale | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: Super PACs are a problem if your billionaires are not as generous as their billionaires.  Either, the result is probably a TV ad buy designed to put your view of the facts in front of the public in a way that is not flattering to the other guy.  We used to (and probably still) do this with newspapers.  It is as old as the Republic itself - and that is why the Supreme Court is unlikely to do anything,  nor will the parties, because they both use the same tactics.  The libertarian view has always been say what you want - but minimize what government does so that ads are not relevant anyway.  Unless we can organize a really good Socialist Super-PAC, nothing will happen to reign them in.
