Cruz: Senators who signed onto campaign finance amendment 'should be embarrassed'

[ScreamingEagle]

It's amazing how blatantly corrupt and anti-American the Democrats have become.....their campaign finance amendment would basically shut down the 1st Amendment and free speech...

Last week Cruz gave his opinion of the proposed amendment...



Schmucky Shumer got quite hot under the collar at Cruz's statement....

Cruz spars with Schumer, Dems on campaign finance - Houston Chronicle

 

[Moonglow]

money=speech......

 

[ScreamingEagle]

money=speech......

not necessarily...

this amendment would give Congress the power to regulate political speech...they could even ban books and movies...

 

[JakeStarkey]

Necessarily, yes.

Cruz is a far right wing progressive who is the greatest danger to America since Nixon.

He needs to be investigated from being conceived and every day since then until tomorrow and beyond.

 

[HenryBHough]

Wow, Cruz really has put The Fear of God in you liberal Democrats! Here I had been underestimating his potential.

think about it....would it take 'money' for the Dimwits to ban political speech they didn't like.....hell no.....they'd vote in their favor in a heartbeat...

Cruz is a conservative...and is the best defense against dangerous Dimwits like you...

The Kanada Kid rides again, and falls on his ass of course.

 

[PaintMyHouse]

The stupidity of the republicans gets lower every day. Money does not equal speech no matter how you twist and turn it. Cruz is a ******* idiot and a nut case to boot.

That what makes him so great run against. I hope like hell he tops their next ticket. I like winning.

 

[HenryBHough]

Wow, fear one can slice with a bread knife!

That's your illusion sweetcheeks, and it's s bad one. He's another moron that you guys love. That's not fear you hear, it's laughter.

it's the Dimwits who claim that big money....corporate money.....like Koch money.....is subverting the elections....(of course they have nothing to say about Soros money )

didn't you hear Harry Reid whine about it....? corporate money makes him feel 'unclean'......(what a lying bastard)

they equate money to political speech....and this is true in the sense that more money means more campaign ads.....but the outcome of this would be to silence anyone or any group with some money....is that what you call 'free speech'....?

Tell us, do you think these rich guys and corporations are giving all this cash away because they're just so patriotic? Or, do they maybe, just maybe, want something in return?

don't be naive...you think the POLITICIANS who RECEIVE this money are going to turn around and be 'fair and balanced' if they get the power to regulate who gets to speak and who doesn't....?

of course they wouldn't.....it would be just a step closer to the tyranny that Obama is fostering....

I am against ALL money coming into campaigns. Run on your ideas and accomplishments not bashing your opponent. There needs to be a STRICT 1$ million dollar limit on ALL campaigns.I am sure they can ALL find ways to do that and things MIGHT get a little better.We would be able to hear ALL candidates not ones with rich backers with deep pockets and pull with the media. ALL candidates should be allowed in debates,on ballots and given EQUAL media time. We the people don't pick candidates anymore. Big money,Big Media and Corporations do.

money shows support for candiates and it weeds out the slackers....who wants to listen to the political platforms of 500 different candidates....?

 

[ScreamingEagle]

I do. I bet the American People do as well. Money only puts those with connections in the spotlight and puts those that don't have as much at a HUGE disadvantage. Plus I said 1 million for EVERY campaign. Your campaign should stand on its own legs. Not based on money keeping you going.

you're an exception....most wouldn't....heck most don't even know the platforms of the two who run for the major parties...

money helps but if you have a good message it will resonate with those who can think and discern which is better....

So you ARE in favor of limiting free speech!
You, like Cruz, want to limit it to the richest!

No... i don't want to limit free speech.....those candidates can talk all they want.....i just don't want to listen to all of them...

You got your feathers plucked again and are squawking.

Your first statement premise makes no sense: please, try to do so.

Cruz is not a conservative. He is a far right authoritarian progressive reactionary who would use Big Government against all of us.

He does not believe in the American system.

Study up on the religious lunacy and program he and his father share.

 

[initforme]

Big money controls elections. The little guy has his right to vote.... but that too will be gone some day so only big money contributors get to vote. I say if one makes a lot of money they should not be allowed to vote. Try that one on.

how so....? why don't you say something concrete instead of just throwing out ridiculous labels....? and unfounded criticisms of Cruz....?
