(1,572 posts)This country is out of control. We have a majority of "Supremes" that have overtaken our country and turned it into a gambling casino. So now we can throw unlimited amounts of money into campaigns and buy our congressmen. How is this democratic? There is nothing about this ruling that shows signs of being anything other than a takeover by the elite, meaning the people with money. Since we now know that corporations are people, how much will they throw in? What about Sheldon Adelsen and his ilk? How is this fair to the average voter? I am sorry for my grandchildren and how much this will change their lives for the worse. We are already dumbing down our society for the benefit of the elite few. Now here we are with unlimited funds that will flood the airways before election time. This, hopefully, will sicken the public enough that they will simply turn the channel. But I guess that is a wish for me. Will they? I hope I never see a campaign where everyone running is bought. That hope is weak because the Supremes just ensured it will happen. It makes me want to join a GOTV campaign to show that money can't buy all votes.
