Re: The CRomnibus
They sure do throw in a bunch of stuff in these packages.
The provision would increase the amount of money a single donor could give to national party committees each year from $97,200 to as much as $777,600 by allowing them to set up different funds for certain expenses. The change would be a huge boost for party committees that have faced steep challenges in recent years from well-funded outside groups.
...
�Conservatives support the First Amendment and believe there should be no limits on political speech,� said Ken Cuccinelli, president of the Senate Conservatives Fund. �Unfortunately, the new limits included in the omnibus only increase political speech for party insiders while silencing the majority of Americans who are fed up with Washington.�
Great, they are increasing money spent on elections because not enough was spent already.

I haven't yet taken the time to read about and understand this issue, but at a cursory glance, it sure seems to support the "they are all a bunch of corrupt jerks" line of thinking.
