Great read-who is behind Opportunity News Media's ads?

[Joanie Baloney]

This is an interesting question. Opportunity News Media is running ads in a few states telling folks that it's OK to be a Republican! (Awwww.) But nobody seems to know (or want to divulge) who is behind the group that's behind the group behind this company!

WASHINGTON (AP) — Opportunity News Media wants you to know it's OK to be a Republican, and it is spending $3 million to say so in the presidential battleground states of Ohio and Colorado.

Where that money comes from is anybody's guess.

The television ads serve as coming attractions of a sort for the 2016 campaign, for which politically minded donors have already given half a billion dollars to candidates and outside groups eager to back them. All that money ensures television viewers will be inundated by commercials good, bad and confusing.

Add in campaign finance regulations that are still evolving in the wake of the landmark Supreme Court decision known as Citizens United, and it's easier than ever for all kinds of groups to wade into politics and do so in ways that keep from the public the identities of who is paying for it all.

4. It's getting close to that in Colorado..

sickening and scary, these "pretty Republicans" with the dreamy voice in the background talking about Republicans and opportunity. It's such stupid and idiotic nonsense, Americans will suck it up.
