An Incessant Task: Calling Out Hypocrisy

Sometimes this is redundant. Sometimes it's comical. Sometimes it just happens over and over and over, and you feel as if you're going in circles. Regardless, debates should occur, and people should learn from each other in order to understand the world around them. This article discusses two recent cases that I would deem blatant hypocrisy by the Obama administration (as well as the liberal media), and liberal celebrities.

The following article appeared on CNN yesterday: http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/06/20/more-than-60-million-raised-in-support-of-obamas-re-election/. It claims Obama's re-election campaign raised more than $60 million in May. $60 million! Romney's campaign raised $23 million. When looking at other campaign finance funds (something the media mixes around; the difference between a campaign's fundraising and a political group like the DNC's fundraising), the Obama campaign's victory fund along with the DNC reported it had $114 million cash on hand while the RNC/joint Romney fund held $107 million.

An Interesting Take on Campaign Finance

I read the following article by CNN columnist LZ Granderson: http://www.cnn.com/2012/05/15/opinion/granderson-campaign-finances/index.html?hpt=hp_c1

I found it to be quite interesting, so I wanted to open up a debate about it. Many people talk about "money in politics" and campaign finance as a major problem, but, I'm not sure anyone knows how to "fix" it. I'm also not sure anyone understands what the "problem" really is. With regards to Granderson's write-up, I don't think I've read an article in recent memory that had me go from full agreement to complete disagreement and everywhere in between in one piece.
