@coldjoint,

Are you shitting me? You think Koch and Adelson and the GOP Pacs didn't by themselves outspend the entire Democratic Party? Do you really think that if the Dems outspent the GOP RW by itself let alone the entire GOP that they would be so stupid but to oppose the SCOTUS rulings on corporations and Pac money? Your fact free, ignorant of reality and just plain not in reality opines are driving your mother to drink.
Read it and weep. This is from that left wing bastion, Forbes.

Four Billionaires Among Top 10 Donors to Super PACs

Four billionaires are on the list of the top 10 contributors to super PACs, according to an analysis by the Center for Public Integrity.
The center’s review found that the 10 donors accounted for more than a third of almost $202 million in total donations.
Way out in front is casino mogul Sheldon Adelson, who, along with family members, has contributed $26.5 million. Most of that went to the super PAC supporting Newt Gingrich for president.
Investor Harold Simmons of Texas ranks second. Simmons, his wife Annette and his company, Contran Corp., have given $16.7 million. The biggest beneficiary was American Crossroads, the super PAC co-founded by Republican strategists Karl Rove and Ed Gillespie.
PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel ranks fifth, having given $2.7 million to super PACs supporting Ron Paul.
Sixth on the list is former Univision Communications Chairman A. Jerrold Perenchio, who has given $2.6 million, most of it to American Crossroads.
Other non-billionaires in the top 10:
Texas homebuilder Bob Perry, a supporter of American Crossroads and Restore Our Future, the super PAC supporting Mitt Romney
Energy executive William J. Doré, a supporter of Rick Santorum
Investor Foster Friess, also a Santorum backer, best known for his theories about aspirin as contraception
Also on the list were two labor unions – the National Education Association and the AFL-CIO – and a medical malpractice insurance group, the Cooperative of American Physicians.
