I don’t need a source to tell me that this country has been controlled by private interests since the beginning.
Recall that the Boston Tea Party was not only a protest against British Colonial Government but to the makers of the tea on board that ship (East India Company). They wanted representation. Our founding fathers were shills to corporate interests just as we are.
Old fucking bag of wind! He could have bitched about this for 2 minutes…why do these people drag this shit out.
They complain about conservatives creating scare tactics…what’s this?
It’s clear they are not happy with companies being able to compete with SEIU, Teamsters, etc to compete with company contributions! What HAS this man done over the past 20 years anyway? Are there no better people in Vermont than this Gomer?
He needs to retire to the grandpa chair with his jug!
Also, he has a little of that glassy-eyed
look that drunks get, he’s slightly red in
the face, and he’s staggering a bit from
time to time.
What a slimebucket.
He IS drunk. The dead give-aways are the
following:
2:52 “…they’ve run ROUGHSHOD…”
3:50 “…substituted their own PREFERENCES…”
11:00 “…issues thought to be long settled…”
The confused pauses around 10:45
and 13:00.
The way he’s overemphasizing things at
13:20, and goofs up “…I did not come…”.
Don’t like it here? Move to Holland.
We are not going ANYWHERE.
Your spelling ability is also a pity.

source?
The Radical Progressive Left has their panties in a knot because THEIR corporate media just LOST its monopoly on political speech.
Finally ALL corporations (not just MSNBC, CNBC, FOX, PBS, ABC, NBC) have equal access to air time!
As long as the advertising is correct and not a lie, then we can NEVER have too much information!
BTW, there are all kinds of laws on the books to prevent Defamation which is any wrongful injury to the reputation of a person or entity.
When dems. and low lives of this country ignore laws such as the logan act, and try to allow queers to serve in the millitary I hope they trump ass every time you bough
I lovs grabbing a man’s dick… especially strangers!
the fringers have been talking about this coming corporate dark age for bloody years
how stupid are you all starting to feel
I have chunks of jerks like him in my stool. Fights for activist piss like Sotomayor, and then whines like a bitch when he’s owned by a Supreme Court which understands the law. There is on the books a law prohibiting foreign corporations from buying our elections; Obonehead the ass-chimp promised to take Federal Matching Funds [limiting how much he could spend], then broke his promise to suck up all the Soros (Greek) million$ he could get his Chicago bone-thug mits on!). FUBO
Drunk Whore….
So only ‘the people’ should be allowed to contribute to campaigns, now that The One has been annointed?
Somebody please remind me how much money SEIU and George Soros-funded groups donated to the cause…
GOT DRUNK?
For clarification for you Libs. Obama ‘s campaign, during his run for office, DISABLED the campaign’s “TRACK BACK” feature on their website so you could not track contributions and where they came from. Contributions could be made through pre-paid credit cards “from around the globe”. The campaign was never disapplened because his party (Dems) blocked replacements to the overseeing Federal Election Commision and they couldn’t act at the time.Transparency my *SS!! Conservative Ascendancy, Yes!
By the way, senator, where was your hero’s,Barry, contributions coming from?…As I recall, he got alot of his contributions via the internet….can we track where his money’s came from to help him get elected?…ah, no, we can’t do that. I laugh at this, and am very pleased to see you dems all upset. (UNION NO)
Ahhh…you’re upset, Leeky Leahy.Corporations,inwhich you help drive out of our country with Huge Corporate Taxes, now have the ability to influence elections for their self interests…Damn,that sucks doesn’t?..Hey, how about Unions dumping money into the Democrat party, election after election! Do the union members have a say of which party they wish to contribute with their “Taken” dues? NO! they don’t! So S*REW YOU! By the way, Americans work for these “Corporations”, *sshole!
Corporation, n. An ingenious device for obtaining individual profit without individual responsibility.

Another Obama whore. Asshole
@RonPaulGeorgeRingo: “HYPOCRITES” A word “left wingers” have no right to use much less toss at ANYONE lest they define themselves……NO?.
Yeah I did give up after that last round of ALL CAPS hahaha – he seemed rational at first but quickly proved that assumption wrong. : ]
Mike, just give up. It obvious that Harpen has no interest in learning anything about political theory or science whatsoever.
The sheer amount of “all caps” words should be a warning sign in itself.
I’m sure you’re aware, but if not, I can recommend “A Theory of Justice” by Rawls, in the justification of a more socialized state.
Worst. Bill. Ever.
Folks i would think this decession by the supreme court on campaing funding will be the nail in our coffin ! It will take some very determined people to get this ruling over turned in the future, This is a shame and a pity!
