Well, I didn't actually make the statement that the person who spends the most money is going to win the election [if you would read my fucking post]. The point I was making is that it's easy to sit at your computer and whine about how the system works [I chose not to contest his statement that Bush will win the election purely because he has the most money.] then to actually help to do something about it. Furthermore, there are plenty of elections where the candidate with the most money won so your single example is not going to prove your argument.

Don't fucking tell me to do research when I did not endorse what the person I was responding to was saying you fucking idiot.
