I think the idea of an anti-spying super-PAC is interesting. One of the priorities I feel is informing people of just how dangerous these arguably illegal spying activities are. Funny thing is the super-PAC would probably end up airing commercials against both candidates.
- rayiner 13y ago> Funny thing is the super-PAC would probably end up airing commercials against both candidates. That's not how politics works. You have to give candidates a reason to listen to you. If you attack both sides equally, you give up any leverage you have.
- xhrpost 13y agoYes, it was kind of a tongue in cheek statement alluding to the fact that both sides tend to support the spying programs.
- Symmetry 13y agoWhat provides an leverage is not that level of advertisement, but the delta in advertisement with a change in behavior. As long as you wouldn't attack them if they changed and they believe that then you've got leverage.
- rhizome 13y agoThere's no rule that it would have to be "equally."
- rthomas6 13y agoThat wouldn't be the best use of the funds, I think. Better would be to throw the super-PAC's weight behind supporting anyone who would take up the cause. Similar to how other organizations do it. The NRA, or the beef farmers' groups, for instance.
