Companies are not PEOPLE. If they want to go back to 1773 fine, there were no laws that gave companies the right to unduly influence the elections with enormous amounts of cash. One person, one vote. companies couldn't hide behind limited liability. If they committed illegal acts the owners where held accountable. A few rich CEO's are getting to spend investor money to gain control of our government. The tyrants are not the democrats, they are the Multinationals who send jobs overseas and fight to lower our wages and prevent us from having health care. Wake UP! VOTE!
The main stream media is in this as well. Gone are the reporters like Woodward and Bernstein. They are a business and they know which side the bread is buttered. I have looked at all the major media web sites and the reporting about the issue of "Huge" Quantities of corporate money being dump into GOP campaigns is largely ignored. Democracy requires three things: Informed and involved Electorate. Representative and truthful politicians and a questioning and impartial media. We sorely lack all the above.
What people should really be concerned about is the amount of foreign money from China and India pouring into republican campaigns from the chamber of commerce. Our founding fathers warned bout this and considered it treason.
This is nothing new---Both parties in every state PICK the person who can bring in the most money for that party and probably less than 1% are qualified.-----------------------------------------
They hand pick the candidates then tell us it's our fault for not voting for the right one------We voters are at the mercy of the democratic and republican parties---the tea party is disgusting, we need to JOIN together as a Nation and start picking our own candidates----starting now for the next election---voters in every state need to agree on someone to "write in"--we have control, we just need to use it smarter than the dems and repubs.
Just read this article - Falsehoods Flying Fast and Furious in Political Ads. I'm wondering....just how much of this article is fact, and how much of it is fiction? What CAN Americans believe?
If the Republican Tea Bag Party think that it is bad with the government in control, just wait and see what happens when private enterprise takes over.
Oh wait, we already have that. And as you can see, it's not pretty.
Don't forget that ads are crafted by advisors and advertising "experts." Politicians are merely led around by their egos. What we need are statesmen -- who do the leading. I will not vote for anyone who participates in a smear campaign or brags about their political experience.
The truly informed will hear both sides, research, challenge, question and then pragmatically formulate their own opinion and move forward from there. It is ridiculous for an individual to only believe one side is being representative of the issues or facts. Things get twisted and re-interpreted. Only saps fall for that approach. Then, sadly there are many saps who prefer others doing the thinking for them. It's easier that way.
Since when did the truth or honesty actually mean a "hill of beans" to a politician seeking office? They are all worthless fruitcakes once they get in office no matter which side of the pasture they graze on.
