Warren Explains To Romney Why Corporations Aren’t People: ‘People Have Hearts’

[Stephanie]

It's almost impossible to have honest debate with wingnuts these days - because facts and truth no longer matter to them. Now, they mostly spin and just make shit up - politics before country. Bullshit has always played a role in politics, but nothing like today.

oh for crying out loud, you post something some goofball says and what? We are suppose to just agree and when they don't, we get this whiney crap from you..

waaa

What the frak does this have to do with lying on a job application
like Elizabeth Warren....

It speaks to your inability to undersatand Liberal Logic.

If you would only watch more movies produced in Hollywood, then you would know that everyone in a Native American, or an Evil Old White Man.

Obviously Warren is not an Evil Old White Man.

Therefore she must be Native American.

You know what else Hollywood movies have taught us?

How to spot a racist piece of shit.

Hi-oooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!



(I'm talking about you. You're the racist piece of shit.)

It must have been my reference to Evil Old White Men that twisted your panties.

I get a bit cornfused about this "corporaations are people" thing.

So corporations can spend any amount of money the CEO desires on political campaigns.
But the corporation can't vote. And people can vote. And corporations are people.

SO why can't corporations vote in national elections?

Anybody know?

I remember this thread on character recently

Well we see Democrats don't give one hoot about a persons character and if they lie, cheat and steal from the folks in this country..they WILL STILL elect them because they have a D next to their name. No wonder these politicians think they can come in Government and walk all over us

Warren is a good example
Bill Clinton is another, lied right in their faces and they still worship him

Progressives who have any doubt where Mitt Romney, Brown and their supporters stand, Warren said at Netroots, should consider: Romney wants to repeal financial reform, says that people who are concerned about income inequality are envious and claims that corporations are people.

“No, Mitt, corporations are not people,” Warren said, to applause. “People have hearts, they have kids, they get jobs, they get sick, they love, they cry, they dance, they live and they die. Learn the difference.”

Elizabeth Warren is a complete fraud who used Native Americans as a stepping stone in her career. Shameful.

Because they are not born or naturalized citizens.


I really wish I could make it simpler for you.

Good point....but....

Did some idiot actually drag the Ghost of FDR into the thread to try to make a point?

Progressives have known that for 100 years. That is how and why the Gilded Age was ended. Romney and the right want to implement Gilded Age II.

"The first thing to understand is the difference between the natural person and the fictitious person called a corporation. They differ in the purpose for which they are created, in the strength which they possess, and in the restraints under which they act. Man is the handiwork of God and was placed upon earth to carry out a Divine purpose; the corporation is the handiwork of man and created to carry out a money-making policy. There is comparatively little difference in the strength of men; a corporation may be one hundred, one thousand, or even one million times stronger than the average man. Man acts under the restraints of conscience, and is influenced also by a belief in a future life. A corporation has no soul and cares nothing about the hereafter."
—William Jennings Bryan, 1912 Ohio Constitutional Convention

OK. Then why is their money to influence voting allowed when the corportion has no voting right?

And if a corporation is started (incorporated) here in the USA, isn't that in effect the same as being
"born" here? IF the CEO and the board of directors are all American citiznes, does that not make the corporation a "born here" corporation?

If they can spend unlimited money to influence elections, corporation should be able to vote IMO.
How else they gonna know that they will get what they paid for? And their vote should be more important than an individual vote because corps spend lots more money than an individual. Well maybe except for those individuals who are corporations.

Ahhhh, the dumb bitch is trying to make a comeback after lying about being an indian for decades......

You retards glom onto the most inane, meaningless bullshit.

Mass. voters don't give a shit.

When were you elected to speak on behalf of Mass. voters?

Because they are Taxed.

Lie, cheat and steal are resume enhancers for them.

Let's not be childish.

No, Opening a chain of hamburger joints in the USA is not, "in effect the same as being born here."

However I've no doubt that some Liberal ALCU Wacko would like to bring the retarded point to the Supreme Court.

Corporations have hearts too. One for every stock holder.

So - they get two votes then. One as a corporation, one as an alleged human.

Corporations can't vote.

This is about people not agreeing that corporations should be able to buy political ads or give money to candidates.

All a corporation is is a group of people and if those people want to pool their money to buy ads or give donations then so what?.

Unions are groups of people who do that very same thing.

You need to slow down for some.....

Yeah, that quote you assfucks like to trot out all the time, it's kind of misleading. Yes, he did write a letter stating he didn't think that public sector employees, definitely. But none of you twats want to also point out is that his Worker's Bill of Rights would have actually made all unions unnecessary anyway.

The only reason this didn't go into effect is that he died, and Truman was too concerned about getting us into a useless fucking conflict in Korea.

Unions are corporations unto themselves. Commodity is Labour.

Except they're really not, just from a practical standpoint. There is no possible way on Earth that unions could ever compete with corporate donations. And even that isn't the biggest issue. When you make campaign contributions anonymous, no one has any idea what kind of people are backing a candidate. There are reasons that contributions are given, and in sums that large, that reason is almost always quid pro quo.
