If I know that an organization is giving big bucks to a particular candidate, it is my choice to either vote for him or against him. But, if his campaign contributions are "laundere" thrrough phoney PACs and 527's and aren't disclosed, then I'm not able to make an informed decision.
If candidate X gets 75% of his campaign contributions from Seniors and Trial Lawyers, for example, then I know that I don't want to vote for the socialist bastard.
