    So now that Stephen Colbert can use donations to make ads for or against political heads.. what do you think this means? Will it be a good thing? Do you think it will just be a waste of donated money?

    well, the reality is ads sway voters who are not solid in their choices.
    So, if Colbert can promote progressive candidates and causes over, say, fascist tea Party rednecks... more power to him.

    I think that more people will a) know PACs exist, and b) learn what superPACs can do, and that is always a good thing to understand how the system works.

    I think he'll use it to "promote" certain candidates, when in reality the ad will be bringing the candidates true agenda to light.
    At least that's what I'm hoping for.

    Real or Fake agenda.. people will be instantly on google searching things such as "Is Sarah Palin really for gay interracial midget marriage?"... It's definitely going to make the population more aware of who is out there and there plans
