What does that statement mean, exactly? I've heard a few FReepers toss it out there like everyone knows, but when you really stop and think about it, it just doesn't make sense.
How does one "buy" an election? Are you implying some kind of bribery? Are you criticizing him for actually campaigning?
Campaigning is expensive, especially at the national level. Should he try to do that without spending money? Is it somehow immoral for him to spend his own money to campaign, and the money donated to his campaign to actually campaign???
What exactly is the problem here?
The problem is there isn’t a level playing field. Romney happens to be wealthy and he is using his wealth to buy a lot of expensive influential ad time to spread propoganda and lies about his alleged conservatism. A lot of people vote base on 30 and 60 second sound bites (Never underestimate the ignorance of the American voter). That’s what is called trying to buy the election.
“How does one “buy” an election?
What exactly is the problem here?”
It’s called channeling your inner class-envy Democrat roots.
Earning your way is never as good as being given your way for some.
What exactly is the problem with McCain raising money for his campaign?
