Were the people brought down to the corporation's level or the corporations raised to the people's level? |

Never mind the ACORN fraud of the last election. I didn't hear any of you liberals complaining about that. The reason why the tide is turning in every direction against the democrats and in favor of the republicans is because every domain, from We The People to The Supreme Court is Fed Up with these infantile radicals run wild. And are Waking Up & Shutting Down this communist machine. Good !~ No, They Can't !!!~ |

Now that would truly be troubling, wouldn't it? Under investigation for voter fraud in 21 states and all. |

Supreme Court Hands GOP Huge Victory: Business Free to Support or Oppose Presidential, Congressional Candidates Yep, and guess who made up the MAJORITY on this DUMB decision, Roberts, Alito, Thomas, Kennedy and forgot his name. WHO SAYS THAT WHO IS PRESIDENT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE ON THE COURT? At least 2 and possibly 3 of these idiots were SCHRUB appointments. W scores again! The incredible thing is that this was not the issue before the Court. The Justices in the majority the "STRICT CONSTITUTIONALISTS" and anti judicial legislation types did JUST THAT! To point out how stupid this decision was they left constraints existing on how much could be contributed to campaigns but opened the floodgates on Corporate advertising as long as it was done coporately and not through the campaign itself. Fat chance that will be the case! This makes a mockery of election laws and endangers the sanctity of our election process. Where the hell did these guys get there law degrees Cracker Jack Box U? |

Supreme Court Hands GOP Huge Victory: Business Free to Support or Oppose Presidential, Congressional Candidates This was way out in left field. Some people compared it to their stopping the recount in Gore v. Bush, without any authority or good reasoning. So my question is why does a corporation have the right to exercise free speech to influence elections if they do not have the right to vote in that election? Their choosing to imbue corporations with rights of a natural person in elections, flies in the face of reason. |

Supreme Court Hands GOP Huge Victory: Business Free to Support or Oppose Presidential, Congressional Candidates The only foundation for this decision is that corporates have a vested interest in elections and thus the the supposed right to ply those interests without necessarily exposing them. Corporations are not VOTERS/PEOPLE nothing other than a government created entity. They sure as hell are not protected by the US Constitution since when it was written there was no such entity extant. THIS IS PURE BULLSHIT OF THE STINKIEST FORM! |

All of his decisions have impeded and restricted Intelligence gathering and compromised National Security.

All the Supreme Court did was level the playing field. Corporate money will be poured into the Bachman Campaign to insure her re-election. Oh Boy!~ Libs are losing ... it: Both media personalities and politicians ~ Chris Matthews near to having a stroke after ranting fit of out shouting, over screaming Howdy Doody Dean. Arlen Spector spewing venom during a ( one-sided ) debate with Michele Bachman over the Mass Senate loss, Republican Win. Oh My!~ Glad he went liberal. Sure as shyzer showed that ugly, mean spirited viperous attacking attitude liberals always display when they have no merit. Chucky slick Schumer holding back a temper implosion through words pregnant with seething disapproval of Supreme Court Ruling, and bitter tears. Gigs Up, Homeboy. No more cookies for you. Busted. They need to be tending their TKO instead of conjuring up new lies, deceit, tactics and attacks. O, And Moi ~ |

Supreme Court Hands GOP Huge Victory: Business Free to Support or Oppose Presidential, Congressional Candidates From the headline: "WASHINGTON – Corporations can spend freely to support or oppose candidates for president and Congress, the Supreme Court ruled on Thursday in a landmark decision that allows massive sums to be spent to influence future elections." Comes under free speech corporations big and small have a voice too. As long as it is out in the open and all voices heard there should be no problem. Do you remember the democrats’ tool called ACORN affiliations and all the allegations of voter fraud heaved on ACORN by various individuals and groups that went unnoticed by the MSM? |
