The Five Stooges

Yes I know there only used to be three, but now we have five, Kennedy, Thomas, Scalia, Alito and Roberts. All can be called traitors to America because they put no limits on corporate speech.

So now dear friends, Toyota, Honda, and Aerospatiale (I know how much y'all love the French) or any other U.S. subsidiary of a foreign corporation can advertise in our elections. I expect Toyota will spend big bucks against any candidate who favours our auto industry. Aerospatiale will of course favour the friends of Boeing, sure, count on it.

If you added up the collective IQ of that five it would still be a number less than 300.

I thought it was Reid, Pelosi, Dodd, Frank and Rangel but when you said a collective IQ of 300 I knew it wasnt them...........that would be a promotion.

So from you assinine comment I take it you approve of foreigners mucking about in our elections? Since you chose to make no comment to the contrary I have to guess that this is the case.

Dude its been 48hrs since the ruling so dont pretend to know whats going to happen because as of yet nothing has.

Grasshopper I do know what the ruling permits, so why would, oh say Toyota not run ads inimical to a candidate who supports our automobile companies. You can be sure they are all in favour of Corker.

Alternatively I could take your position;

But it has not happened and when it does (if it does) then address it then that doesnt seem to radical or irrational to me.

I realize it's pointless to try but here goes anyway.

It's a question of what this ruling allows... forever, not just what has happened in the last few days. This ruling allows everything Rob mentioned and more. Big corporations from all over the world can now drop huge money bombs on candidates and elections here, openly, legally and literally buying the government most favorable to their interests, not those of the people.

You're a big fan of Beck & Goldberg's "theory" of Left Wing Fascism. Well, look Fascism up (I wouldn't recommend using Conservapedia) and see what it actually is. I believe you'll find it accurately describes the form of government this ruling ushers in, courtesy of five right wing activist judges.
