少数富豪对美国总统选举影响“巨大”

2012年02月02日,英国媒体报道，周二(1月31日)晚些时候,提交给美国联邦选举委员会的文件显示，2011年“超级政治行动委员会”,共筹集了逾4200万美元,支持美国共和党总统竞选者,这显示出新的捐助规定,允许少数美国富豪对竞选产生影响。
路透社报道，2010年,美国最高法院决定，对政治行动委员会的捐款,可以无上限。2月1日,提交的上述文件,揭示了该规定的影响力。

上述文件展示了-目前,领先的美国共和党总统提名参选人罗姆尼,在竞选中,“威力十足”的原因，他受到名为“重建我们的未来”(Restore Our Future)的“超级政治行动委员会”支持，主要通过投放广告,对抗主要对手金里奇。

“超级政治行动委员会”,2011年,筹得3000万美元，年底银行账户上,有近2400万美元。过去一个月，该组织在佛罗里达州花费大量资金，投放广告“攻击”金里奇。外界普遍认为，广告的投放,对罗姆尼取得周二的初选胜利有帮助。

与支持罗姆尼的政治行动委员会拥有的资金相比，支持其它共和党竞选者和支持奥巴马的政治行动委员会,都显得相形见绌。支持奥巴马的“优先美国”(Priorities USA)机构,去年,筹得420万美元，截止12月31日，银行账户上,有150万美元。

“超级政治行动委员会”,从根本上,改变了竞选方式，对竞选产生了巨大影响。如果参选者能够找到愿意出巨资的资助人，“可能产生令人难以置信的影响，”前密歇根州共和党主席安努兹斯(Saul Anuzis)称。“民主21”(Democracy 21)总裁维特海默(Fred Wertheimer)指出，“超级政治行动委员会,令一少部分富豪,能够对选举,产生非常大的影响”。

科尔比学院竞选金融专家科拉多(Anthony Corrado)指出：“最简单地看，超级政治行动委员会的作用，是令那些过去,可能因为资源不足,被淘汰的参选者能够继续战斗下去”。
