A narrow, conservative majority of the Supreme Court has embraced the notion that money is speech, and therefore most limits on campaign financing are dubious restrictions on Americans’ free-speech rights. For Democratic senators like Reid, Tom Udall, and Michael Bennet, a constitutional amendment is the appropriate remedy to prevent the corruption of our democracy.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 35583339 And you'll both sit home watching a female democrat take the oath of office. But I encourage all the kooks on the right to run in 2016. Its going to be a great great show. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 35583339 Oh, he'll run and probably "win" as well...unless the liberals have another non-natural born citizen to be their frontrunner. The reason he'll win? Retards who don't understand or care to adhere to the Constitution. I am so ashamed of some of you GLPers. Stop voting for and promoting non-natural born citizens to be president! Obama: non-natural born citizen (non-NBC, father never a citizen) McCain: non-NBC (Born in Panama, on non-US soil (off-base)) Romney: non-NBC (Father was not US citizen at time of Mitt's birth) Rubio: non-NBC (Parents not citizens at time of Marco's birth) Cruz: non-NBC (Born in Canada.) But who cares right? I mean, it must be sooooooo hard to find someone to run for the most powerful position in the world if the rule is that his/her parents had to be citizens at the time of birth AND he/she had to be born on US soil. I mean, that's only like 85+% of people in the US. Slim pickins, man. Oh well, let's just hand the reigns over to someone that has natural affinities and allegiences to foreign entities, and whose rule as President can be easily reversed (as a non-NBC is illegitimate and as a result has no legitimate authority to do anything as president). What's the worst that could happen? Wow. Genuine truth in here. |

They prayed over those when they were written. Here is something that congress seems to have forgotten, they may have set up rules for D.C. but they do not, and I mean do not effect the states or the people we have our own laws and guess what, they supersede Congress and the president and all of Washington, if we so choose! We can simply fire the whole lot of you or them. Cross the line! |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 58803314 OP misleads just as Koch Brothers' tool Ted Cruz misleads people. I guess that means that George Soros, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Ted Turner, Michael Bloomberg, Tom Steyer and all the other liberal billionaires can no longer financially support their pet causes. Or is it just those devious, crafty, wily Koch brothers who are responsible for all the world's evils? The left didn't support Citizen's United. The left believes votes matter more than a few rich people being able to BUY elections. The left believes in millions pouring into tax exempt organizations such as Planned Parenthood, the Unions, the NGOs, the myriad left wing, liberal, socialist 501(c)3s. That's how they buy elections. That's why the administration gave the IRS to word to stall all the conservative 501(c)3 applications. They know how much money comes into election warchests that way. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 58778361 Brazil 06/03/2014 10:31 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'll tell you why they want to repeal the 1st amendment. If you have ears, listen. (in this case read ... obviously) The main reason they want to do that is because they want to get rid of the separation between state and religion. They want religion above state. In less than 2 years, maybe sooner but not later than that, a pope that was and now is not will rule the United States and you'll have to accept a catholic dogma as law or be considered a criminal. hold on to what is good |
