More proof the Republican party wants to hand this country to the corporations

[Intense]

Do you know what Citizen's United is about? It's not about corporation being able to donate money to candidates. Rather it's about them spending their own money, independent of the candidate, and pay for and produce ads! Again all independent. Candidates are NOT allowed to direct them in any wa! If you say no to that, then where does it end? Newspapers can't have editorial sections? Newspapers can't endorse candidates? The Fairness Doctrine? Public funding campaigns? End to opinion newscasts?

It's a slippery slope that nutters like you are to short-sighted to see what it could lead to!

Popular and unpopular political speech needs to be protected. In truth the best way to fight unfair claims is with rebuttal, just like we do here.

Are you people REALLY this stupid?

No, you are just that slow.


Should we hold your hand during every thread. I just jumped forward in the argument and left you scratching your head.

Which demonstrates your usual command of the issues.

 

[Truthmatters]

So you brain dead fools are just going to march in locked step and say its GREAT we dont get to know who is effecting our election cycles?

 

[Luddly Neddite]

The republican party is trying to hand this country over to the corporations.

It is cystal clear in everything they do from the top.

Anyone who refuses to accept this fact is deluding themselves

Actually, its a done deal.

The United States is now a fascist plutocracy and, as our laws stand now, we will never again have anything that resembles an honest election.

YOU ARE WRONG!!!!!


There is time to right this ship.

jump overboard or help

Tell us all how its a great American tradition to NOT ALLOW the people to know the names of the people who are donating HUGE sums of money into the campaign cycle?

I agree with you about disclosure.

Here is a shady group, that maybe you could dig into. They claim to manipulate large sums of money. They seem real big on New Speak too.

why do you refuse to recognise what party did this?

 

[Truthmatters]

The three Republican appointees — Commissioners Caroline Hunter, Donald McGahn II and Matthew Petersen — were the three “no” votes. The same trio also made headlines last month when they took the view that even coordination between Super PACs and candidates might not qualify as coordination between Super PACs and candidates.

Close, but no cigar. How about changing sides and join the battle against Statist Progressive Totalitarianism.

I, for one, support the Post Office. I have a high regard for it.

FEC Republicans Are Making Citizens United Even Worse | ThinkProgress



Last month the six FEC commissioners killed — on a 3-3 vote — a motion to begin consideration of Van Hollen’s suggestions. By law, the agency may have only three members of any political party. By tradition, the president chooses three commissioners and the other party’s Senate leader chooses three. The three Republican appointees — Commissioners Caroline Hunter, Donald McGahn II and Matthew Petersen — were the three “no” votes. The same trio also made headlines last month when they took the view that even coordination between Super PACs and candidates might not qualify as coordination between Super PACs and candidates.
The lawsuit is still pending.

Because of these loopholes, virtually none of the funders behind the Super PAC attack ads in Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina will be disclosed until well after the voters there have cast their ballots. And the funders behind 501(c)(4) attack ads may never be known.

So while it was the Supreme Court’s majority that opened the floodgates for corporate money in our elections, it is the deadlocked FEC that is keeping voters from even knowing where that money comes from.

How about turning off the TV when Super PAC ads come on?
It sends a message loud and clear that the people do not like the ads.
Believe me they will change those ads really quick when they find out that they are not being watched or they are not working.

Maybe your right.

The thought of having to fund your own pension should be appalling.
