Dems take in twice as much “foreign” money as Republicans

Quote from CaptainObvious:

Ahhh, the sordid topic of coin. The left bitching about this is the ultimate hypocrisy. Refresh my memeory and tell me, how much money did the Clintons get from China?
They're all bought and paid for, every last one of them.

Then I'll support disclosure.

That would be refreshing, however unlikely, from either side.

Quote from bigdavediode:

So why would the Democrats introduce such a bill to restrict their own income and Republicans oppose it?

This bill was a last, desperate attempt to gin the mid term elections in the Democrats favor. There were no committee hearings, among other things. Hell, even the ACLU opposed this bill.

While the American Civil Liberties Union supports the disclosure of large contributions to candidates as long as the disclosure does not have a chilling effect on political participation, it urged senators to vote against the DISCLOSE Act because it would fail to improve the integrity of political campaigns in any substantial way while significantly harming the speech and associational rights of Americans.

And you support the ACLU, why?
