Where will this lead us? With everyone having the ability to open their wallets legally will this get rid of a lot of the Slush money?

The politicians should be made to wear the logos of the corporations and organizations that gave them huge political contributions (legal bribes), just like the NASCAR drivers. That way the public would know who these politicians are really beholden to. This Bush Supreme Court decision corrupts the elective system even more than it has been. The corporatists now have this country in a strangle-hold and it's all down hill from here.

I guess politicians just weren't getting bribed nearly enough. Now maybe the SCOTUS can just get rid of any pretense of democracy and declare corporations (and the wealthy) the only citizens deserving of rights. (Just don't call it judicial activism; they're conservatives, ya know…)
Bring back the poll tax and debtors prisons!1!

I guess Ol' Keith Olbermann was right…..”A nation of the Corporation, by the Corporation, for the Corporation”.

So much for the People.

Hmmm…I like that. BIG, BIG ones.

Maybe the signs should be neon, They all work indoors, you know…..

I'm sure the Repubs will be celebrating…..just until they are victimized by the very same thing they celebrate!

This goes beyond partisan politics, now. It's US against them, the People against corporate interests. This country is in DEEP trouble.
