  3. Did you ever hear of the ballot?

    Republicans were far outspent in the House, yet they won overwhelming control of that House. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/02/us/politics/02donate.html (btw Republicans outspent Dems in the Senate and the Dems retained the Senate.)

    Don't tell me it's all a matter of money.

  4. I wasn't speaking only of the election--the last one or any other. I was speaking of the wealthy and corporations being in charge. The "bigger picture."
