Obama attacks banks, stocks down 4% in 2 days

[Onceler]

All money comes from the voter.....

What is that supposed to mean?

So, it's okay that corporations are able to buy elections, votes & write legislation?

 

[evince]

And corps can be owned by foriegners.

They now have a say in what used to be a democracy

 

[USFREEDOM911]

it does not matter what Obama does , hes a one termer and what ever he does will just be reversed.

The SCOTUS made sure of that.

Would that be the same SCOTUS that all the Liberals were in orgasmic overload, with the last appointment??

No I didnt you idiot.

When the money you use is FROM the voters then that IS democracy.

When the money is from corporations then it is NOT a democracy.

Yoiu act like a coporation is a single person, when it is instead a group of investers.

What about Unions doing the same thing??

please cite that in the constitution

please explain your support for the DNC giving money to candidates and airing political ads....the DNC is similar to a corp in that the DNC is an association of people....see scalia's concurrance

The CEOS can do whatever they want with this money.

 

[evince]

Anyone can buy a corporation if they have the money.

You people are celebrating giving power in our government to people who hate our country.

no, they can't. at least not without the boards permission.

As I've said about a dozen times, I don't think unions should have the kind of influence they do, either.

It's the wiring of this board; campaign finance is a completely non-partisan issue, but we all bend over backwards trying to make it partisan.

It's all bad. Corporations, unions, PAC's - it's clear from reading the board over the past few days that a lot of people don't really understand the influence they all have in gov't...

I personally don't have a problem with it I just believe everything needs to be fully disclosed as far as donations.

How would your optimal system work if we were to truly attempt to get rid of private money in funding elections?

I just got a negative rep; because zippy thinks that "orgasmic" has to do with jizz.

His definition says more about him, then anyone else.

LOL

I'd prefer to see it limited to contributions from individuals. Honestly, if it was up to me, I'd limit the amount campaigns can spend, take corporate money completely out of the political process and figure out some way to allow for more free public access media & time for all of the candidates.

The decision was 5/4.

It was a decision made by the R picked Scotus members.
