Howard Dean, former DNC chair, former governor, former candidate for President, says: "Labor Unions are Super-PACS that Democrats like ..." and that he's tired of the double standard. Of course, he's talking as a Hillary supporter and attacking Bernie Sanders, who according to Dean, gets money from Labor Unions but says he doesn't take money from Super-PACS. I think he has a good point.

I see a dichotomy of outrage versus approval when it comes to whom is financing what. Or as Dean put it, a double standard.

What do you think? Are Labor Unions also a Super-PAC since Citizens United gave them the ability to donate unlimited amounts of money to political campaigns?
