And I was just thinking that- 2010 and 2012 were test runs. 2016 is the real target.

After all, once they have the formula down...they'll never let go.

I'm hoping that Obama is able to replace one of the conservatives on the SC with someone who has a more rational view of the Constitution. Then maybe they'll take another shot at the idea of corporations (and unions) being able to spend as much as they want to support candidates in the guise of "free speech".

I hope that someone is watching those "industrialist pillars of the country's economy" who threatened to shutter their factories and lay off their workers if Obama won.

Anyone who does that should be branded an economic terrorist.

The department of justice and the executive branch should make life as uncomfortable for them as legally possible.

And as for Citizens United, there needs to be some accountability on the Supreme Court. Here's crossing fingers that at least a couple of those jack-asses who were part of the Citizens majority will croak (or retire) in the next four years!!!!

money doesn't buy you an election. For the billion dollars you dumped on Mitt you might as well have flushed it down the toilet.
