Dems love collecting the fruits of capitalism for their vote-buying schemes, yet they loathe capitalists.

I see that Sen Kerry, Socialist - Mass., wants limits on campaign spending.

Last time he ran, Kerry violated the limits he agreed to with Weld when Weld was ahead. Weld stuck with the limits and Kerry bought the election.

Who is going to "judge" what is good for the citizens vs what is good for the corporations. You? Or better yet, the Democrat party??

Since this is ostensibly a democracy, I would like our democratically elected representatives -- Republican and Democrat -- to decide, after receiving input from their constituents.

Currently, as Senator McCain said the other day, the large moneyed interests sit in the front row with a megaphone while the rest of us sit in the back row and whisper.

I have no problem with the corporations being successful and making a pile of money.

I do have a problem with giving them carte blanche over the executive and legislative branches of government. Do you understand the distinction?
