i wouldn't have a problem if the group was promoting democrats in general, or an issue in general. but they're not doing that: they're basically side with one candidate, and attack that candidates main opponent. essentially being part of the campaign, and doing their bidding by proxy. if you don't see a problem with this, you probably don't see a problem with lobbyists.

if a pro national healthcare group forms, and wants to take unlimited donations to promote their message and the candidates that support their message, that's fine. but bullshit like this is not..
