I don't know much about the law, so maybe that's the problem, but I don't
understand the issue with allowing (or not allowing) corporations to
contribute to campaigns. I guess the courts consider them the same as
individuals, but that just seems odd and wrong-headed to me.

Hmmm.
Overturning McCain-Feingold sounds like legislating from the bench.
My, my. How times change.
It's interesting to hear McCain warn the supremes that there is their
world, and a real world.
While flipping channels I noticed yesterday that immediately after
Obama's speech both CNN and Fox had anti-Obama-health-care reform
ads running. Didn't watch them after I got their drift, which took
about 3 seconds.
But to answer your question: EVERYBODY!!

Yeah, and yesterday when the Republicans had a news conference on Health
Care I flipped though the channels and CNN and NBC didn't even run
clips... Fox played the conference. Then of course later I went to
MSNBC/GE/DNC and Obermann was having an anti republican, anti teabagger
circle jerk with two dem pundits...

Now that must have been interesting...a GOP news conference on health
care. What was discussed? 50 new ways to empty your wallets to your
health insurer?

Saw part of that on C-Span. That's all the result of a petition drive
by a radio guy. Republicans are out of the picture really.
But not radio and TV talking heads.
The Dems are running the Presidential/Congressional show.

Then of course later I went to
MSNBC/GE/DNC and Obermann was having an anti republican, anti teabagger
circle jerk with two dem pundits...


Olbermann is an asshole like Hannity, only real difference is he's
twice as smart and half as gay. Gives him an edge over Hannity IMO.
Both are millionaires with excellent health insurance.
I don't see either as my role model. I like Joe DiMaggio.
Best go to C-Span for some semblance of facts.

I like keith, but my sweetheart is Rachel Maddow...she is incredibly
smart and fast and well-read and asks the hard, hard questions of her
guests without being annoying or offensive.

Hannity is a lying asshole.

Quite the opposite, I'm trying to get you to see that you are acting

say Hannity was less gay than Olberman.

corporations aren't people and aren't mentioned in the constitution.
they are a legal fiction. their money is real and it distorts the

I thought I read somewhere about a Supreme Court ruling that basically
allows corps to be treated like individuals, as far as "First Amendment"
rights go.

Do you call those individuals who pay now federal taxes recipients of
federal personal welfare? Should they be pushed off the voter rolls?

That's old news - almost 10 years old. Taxes not paid by Obama's
cabinet is current news.
