Highlight:

Hillary working to overturn Citizens United [View all] Sheepshank Nov 2015 OP

Of course the stories told by others thinks Clinton is the reason for CU, not so. Thinkingabout Nov 2015 #1

Get back to me when she returns the corporate money she has received for her campaign. Tierra_y_Libertad Nov 2015 #2

Why would she do that in a campaign where it is legal? Sheepshank Nov 2015 #5

Because she complains about the corrosive power of money in politics. Tierra_y_Libertad Nov 2015 #9

Get back to me when you give up capitalism. JaneyVee Nov 2015 #25

She hasn't received a single penny of corporate money. PERIOD! Why do people still say that? George II Nov 2015 #16

I admit that I often forget to zero in on that law Sheepshank Nov 2015 #43

The law as it stands says that elections are a gun fight. BlueCheese Nov 2015 #18

Bernie is raising plenty of money from individual donors, Maedhros Nov 2015 #67

I hate the system too. BlueCheese Nov 2015 #70

This is a cliche for very good reasons: Maedhros Nov 2015 #79

Hillary Isnt A Republican? billhicks76 Nov 2015 #59

What a strange post. Nye Bevan Nov 2015 #84

She's not even close to overturning Citizens United. Dodo Nov 2015 #3

That's pretty funny Dodo! Walk away Nov 2015 #6

You wouldn't be laughing at that Dodo Nov 2015 #12

Bernie Supporter are constantly coming up with the totally insane ideas Sheepshank Nov 2015 #7

Then you know for yourself that Clinton is tied with the corporate world forever. Dodo Nov 2015 #14

How's that working out for Bernie? Sheepshank Nov 2015 #24

Show me Clinton's crossover appeal. Dodo Nov 2015 #34

How's that crossover thingy working out for Bernie Sheepshank Nov 2015 #74

The old reliable "Shoot yourself in the foot strategy". oasis Nov 2015 #17

Go ahead and vote for Clinton in the primary if you want to. Dodo Nov 2015 #35

I'll just go ahead and do that. oasis Nov 2015 #38

And once the coronation is complete Plucketeer Nov 2015 #60

I've just been reminded, she can't return money she is never in possession of Sheepshank Nov 2015 #46

That's right, but she is allowed to coordinate with one that is Internet-only SuperPAC Dodo Nov 2015 #52

A link would be nice that explains how that works within the law Sheepshank Nov 2015 #71

Well that would be a stupid thing to do. It's not her job to pander to the whims of Lil Missy Nov 2015 #76

I'm sure she has been thinking about it longer than you have.... Walk away Nov 2015 #10

No success.... duh! RobertEarl Nov 2015 #20

a meeting described as a "meeting"? OMG what dastardlyness (is that a word) nt msongs Nov 2015 #11

K&R mcar Nov 2015 #13

You realize the problem is not literally the group "Citizens United", right? jeff47 Nov 2015 #15

The lawsuit that the Supreme Court ruled upon was "Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission".. George II Nov 2015 #27

Yes....which is why I objected to the OP spending half his post only talking about CU themselves. jeff47 Nov 2015 #42

I did read it, and the OP barely touched on the actual organization, and then only as a point... George II Nov 2015 #63

"Barely touched" being 2 of the 5 links, as well as the entire justification jeff47 Nov 2015 #87

Actually it was mentioned in three of the links, but primarily as a point of reference... George II Nov 2015 #90

They're suing the State Department for events during her tenure, if you want to be utterly pedantic. jeff47 Nov 2015 #91

Yes...there is a group Sheepshank Nov 2015 #31

Then why did you spend 1/2 of your post pretending it was only about the group jeff47 Nov 2015 #44

At least 2 links were about the court case...that would make it half Sheepshank Nov 2015 #75

Your claim is she's fighting the CU decision because she is being sued by CU. jeff47 Nov 2015 #86

Hillary is the ONLY candidate actively fighting Citizens United. JaneyVee Nov 2015 #22

...by exploiting every bit of that decision. jeff47 Nov 2015 #23

She is literally fighting them. JaneyVee Nov 2015 #26

No, she's getting sued by them. She didn't sue them. jeff47 Nov 2015 #47

You understand that it's illegal for a candidate to coordinate with Super Pacs, don't you? George II Nov 2015 #30

You understand that Clinton and Correct The Record admitted they coordinate, don't you? jeff47 Nov 2015 #45

Perhaps you should actually read the article. If you did, you'd know that Correct The Record... George II Nov 2015 #56

is she? 2pooped2pop Nov 2015 #32

What pure, unadulterated horse manure Art_from_Ark Nov 2015 #33

As J. Peterman might say: George II Nov 2015 #37

Reading isn't especially difficult, George Scootaloo Nov 2015 #58

No, reading is not especially difficult, Scootaloo, but.... George II Nov 2015 #64

That is, you don't read anything that doesn't already agree with you. Scootaloo Nov 2015 #65

Why do you say that, Scootaloo? George II Nov 2015 #66

I guess Scootaloo decided to just "scoot, aloo"! George II Nov 2015 #92

Clinton will not do a think to change the status quo that benefits her so greatly davidpdx Nov 2015 #85

CU benefits the Republican fund raising machine to a much greater extent Sheepshank Nov 2015 #88

CU benefits someone like Hillary Clinton just as much as it does the Republicans davidpdx Nov 2015 #89
