Constitutional Oligarchy?

[Wry Catcher]

Oligarchy, a political system that is controlled by a small group of individuals, who govern in their own interests.
Does Citizens United v. FEC portend our nations future?

I support campaign finance reform, limits on contributions and the total transparency of the donors.

Do you?

 

[Political Junky]

Yes

When are you going to accept that freedom of speech applies to all people, even if you don't like them?

 

[Revere]

Your free speech rights are not abridged if you affilate with someone and a bureaucrat disapproves of your point of view.

 

[Revere]

The so called journo would not give up a source, but would demand someone else's speech be held to a different level of scrutiny.

I dunno, a lot of people's free speech rights were abridged by the McCarthy witchhunts...

McCarthy Hearings

So you're saying you prefer to keep the power to spend on political campaigns strictly to individuals like George Soros and the Unions?

Yeahhhhh.... that's not a small group at all.

Citizens United has ended your Oligarchy's reign.

I support campaign finance reform, limits on contributions and the total transparency of the donors.

Then you should be 100% for Citizens United.

Do you?

Not with such a naive blanket statement. We had reform and it CURTAILED rights and made things worse. And who gets to decide the limits?

Corporate donation limits to candidates were not set aside by the Citizens United decision.

Ask that so called journo which part of the campaign finance decision was upheld, and which one was set aside.

Who funds Organizing for America? Mediamatters? Where did the debit card donations Obama accepted in 2008 come from?

 

[hortysir]

He'll never say......
That's different, of course

I caught myself laughing outloud, yesterday, to hear the dimolibs whine about the amount of money their challengers are spending on campaigns.
How much did Bam-Bam spend?
After he promised he'd only use "public funds"????

 

[Revere]

Real curiosity, those journos, if the cause is right.

They are just pissed that the Supreme court ruling evened the playing field and ended Years of Democrat fund raising dominance.
