Let's see, hundreds of millions of dollars from a handful of people vs my one vote. I cannot give any more than that, and that's after said people are already picked and pushed by their buyers, I mean partys.

Pheebs, start a new thread if you really wanna go there; Obama out-spent McCain 3 to 1, mostly due to small $20 donations; the final month Obama outspent McCain 5 to 1, again based on those small donations.

Vulchor

Tito Jackson wouldve beaten McCain in that election------besides its the congressional and smaller races where this law is most troublesome and able to buy the votes.

Oppression by the rich and powerful = Oppression by the rich and powerful. A bad, or just plain wrong decision is bad, or just plain wrong. A bad precedent is a bad precendent. Citizens United has little or nothing to do with 1st amendment, since the overall effect of the decision is to quash the free speech of those who can't afford paid airtime. I don't expect you to understand.

And the rich and powerful don't always introduce themselves.

For every Soros, there's a Koch.

Vulchor

Actually 2 Koch's.....kinda of like a double d!ldo, can screw a person in every oraface possible at once. Slavery is a good reference there Amos btw, because of the failures and poor decisions at times by fallible men (and women)---ie the Supreme Court. Im sure there were people then arguing in chat rooms and coffee houses that since slaves were property, why should they have no more rights than a mule.

The amount of ass.hole opinions, comparing owning another human being to political donations in a free country, is simply beyond compare; I expect a few Nazi/Holocaust references and comparisons will soon be coming. Thread has been renamed - enjoy the circle jerk.

It's hard to believe you don't get this. The comparison you draw was not the intended one, although an understandable mistake. The comparison made was regarding the fact the Supreme Court is often wrong. There's probably some previous decision regarding health care, or the right of government to assume some power over the populace that may be closer to the current debate, I just used the first unquestionably wrong decision that came to my mind, and am saying that I hope the Supreme Court doesn't place itself (and subsequently us) on the wrong side of history again.

Vulchor

So there are people disagreeing with Macro, and he doesnt have the usual band of right wing breathren to try and back him up------so we become "a$sholes" as in his last post AND he likens our personal opinions and drawing upon mistakes in history to an event where men stand in a circle and masturbate each other's penis's to the point of ejaculation. Sad.
