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.

In four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not gonna have to vote.

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.
