New Secession Petitions to the White House

This is from a couple weeks ago- Money each campaign has access to. Includes SUPER Pacs.

It looks like Romney had more high dollar donation's, but overall Obama still had more donations.

Wait..Obama bought the election? *backs up reads that again* So..the party that had one guy raise 300 million..is accusing Obama of buying the election. *backs up reads again* I .. have no words.

It's the cheater's mentality. It runs under the idea of "I cheated to win but I still lost so my opponent MUST have been cheating if he beat me."

Same idea really.

Not too likely. Obama is trying to gain bipartisanship

Well, for a certain definition of "bipartisanship", yes. Specifically, "STFU and vote the way we tell you to"

Romney made an announcement today that essentially says Obama bought the election.

I'd say both sides could be seen as guilty in that regards.

The Big O spent his money on stupid crap (ads of exceedingly dubious veracity) before the election, and now Romney is spending his money -- or, at least, his political currency -- on his own stupid crap.

This line is devoted to both of them (skip to the last 5 paragraphs if you just want the relevant context):

"Such was the worth of the king's currency, and [King] Slately spent his lies well."

more OT edit: this secession thing is getting out of hand -- all 50 states now have such petitions, according to the LA Times
