Well, great. As if corporations didn't already control Congress, this is the coup de grace. Labor unions included, yeah right, they have no chance against corporate America.


Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves are its only safe depositories.

It is so funny that the Republican's one and only plan to save the Country is predicated on first electing them to office. I'm glad Obama finally declared war on Wall St. today, against some of his own advisor's advice. We'll see which weasels line up on Wall Street's side. Everybody will see.

This is a double edged sword. While it does reaffirm the 1A, I am not too fond of businessess having that much clout in politics.

THANK YOU AP, THANK YOU! Big Business has been hiding behind time honored conservative values, pretending they champion hard work for a hard dollar. The truth is Big Business wants you to do the work and they get the dollar. There is nothing wrong with conservative values, I LOVE conservative values (when it comes to money)
You'll notice Fox News didn't give much airplay to yesterday's Supreme Court decision. Hmmmm........

Complete opposite of what I was trying to get at. I don't like that some corporations are influencing election results with all their "contributions" and whatnot, not business policy.

There won't be elections! No honest candidate will be able to make it through the big money roadblock. You'll vote for the candidate they own OR the candidate they own. The Jury is rigged. You will think what the Fat Cats WANT you to think. You'll see what they ALLOW you to see. The FIX is in. Wall St OWNS Fox News! WAKE UP!

While Wall St. may own Fox News (a boorish news network IMO), the Fed owns GM, Chrysler, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Wells Fargo and numerous other institutions. And considering the masturbatory coverage of Zero by the MSM, media corporations are probably in his pocket as well. I think the "fat cats" are not as much a concern as a massive Government that has worked it's way into damn near every facet of our lives and who is trying to muscle it's way into your health care under the guise of "social equality".

Quite a ways off there Jimbo. Trust me, your anger, while somewhat misguided, is definetly a good thing. If more people like us start showing our displeasure and make it known that we won't put up with the way our gov. is running things, no amount of money can bargain with volley fire...
