big buys -- big business likes to be anonymous. they liking to anonymous. why? >> the big benefit is that you don't upset your customers or investors. what i have found in looking at the corporations that were willing to step up and give to groups that had to disclose with the federal election commission, if you look at those corporations, one common thread is that they're dominated by a singlele personality or they are privately held. and so these are names familiar to us. harold simmons of t.r.t. holdings. he's been around for a long time. he gave to the swift boaters in 2004. so these people have already put themselves out and no harm will come to them for pay -- staying out there. people are accustomed to them. >> it seems to me, then, are individual voters being drowned out by this? are they solt after less for donations? >> you mean the individual donors? the individual donors ironically have kind of held their own. they are being stomped by the big boys but if you look at the democratic side, the funnel for small donors is up and running at a pretty good

a lot of them have a fear of these big corporations, you know, big oil, big pharma, big everybody. big telephone coming in and the middle class feel like they have been squeezed. they have given out bailouts to everybody else and they haven't been taken care of. what the president is doing is trying to speak to that middle class voter so say, look, the republicans might have said they have reformed and they have seen the light and they are changing their ways but, look, one of their biggest backers is sitting there saying we don't have to disclose what we're doing. i think that's what they are trying to highlight. they are speaking to the base and speaking to individuals as they are making this closing argument before the election. >> bill: it's not a populist issue and they need the folks, they being the democrats to rally to their cause. this is a bit, i don't know, oblique, a little -- >> they are doing it -- they are trying to reinforce their narrative that they have been saying all along that, look, people in the past have drove the car in the ditch. we have heard all of that.
