Basically opening the doors for a ton of Corporate spending in elections.
Do you, as a conservative, agree that this was a good ruling from the supreme court? And furthermore, that it was the right thing for a conservative "limited" government group to do?
Not trying to flame bait, I just want to see what conservative citizens really think about this.
I thought you said this was an honest question.
The ACLU filed an amicus brief asking that section 203 of the BCRA be struck down as facially unconstitutional, yet you are calling it a conservative position. That leaves me a little confused, when did the ACLU become a conservative group?

I know you are trying to contort what I said in an attempt to be "witty", but your efforts are fruitless.
My question was asking if the ruling that Citizens United forced was viewed as a good one by conservatives. Seeing as the tea party was bent on removing corrupt politicians and bringing accountability back to government, I don't see how undocumented corporate politician buying fits within that goal.
What the ACLU or unions do has nothing to do with this question, yeah they make contributions, I never said that it was good or somehow exempt from the same scrutiny.
Try and stay on topic.
