Dark Money

Thanks to Katie Zezima of TheWashington Post
Headline: Ted Cruz renews call for unlimited campaign contributions  

I believe in free speech and the First Amendment, which means everyone here has a right to speak out in politics as effectively as possible, Cruz said. To speak out and make your views known, whether that is standing on a street corner on a soap box, whether that is printing out a yard sign, whether that is spending money to run a radio ad or a TV ad, effectively communicating.

Sporting snazzy shirley-temple curls at the late evening event on a dark road outside Barrington, NH, Cruz neglected to point out that standing on a street corner on a soap box was normally a public act done in the light of day; last year almost four inches shorter in his flats, his hair parted as usual, neatly on the left, the senator from Texas “introduced legislation . . . that would eliminate limits on direct political contributions,” day or night.
