>> If one candidate has 300 million dollars and the other has 5 million dollars, the one with 300 million is going to win most of the time. If you had any idea what you're talking about, you would know that corporations can't spend all their money trying to defeat political interests. They have a business to run. More importantly, you can't just allow the government to arbitrarily ban speech of some organization you don't like. If you do that you give up freedom of speech. While I have no doubt the Obama Liberals would like to take away our freedom of speech, thank GOD for a Supreme Court that understands the issue. The saddest legacy of the Obama administration will end up being his court appointments, IMO.

Corporations don't want to get too political, that will piss off 1/2 customers.

You listen to Olberman after his sub-human rant against Scott Brown? Even your hero stewart said Olberman is insane...oh wait now I know why you listen to him. Birds of a feather

Or do you just not care about our freedom? Your argument really isn't about freedom, but rather either about democracy and/or the practical interest of ordinary people. I consider that argument to be bogus as well, but I've already responded to it. Here I'm just pointing out your mislabeling of your own argument.

It looks like another episode of skinny and fatty calling each other names. The corruption in congress is so bad you guys don't even pretend to ignore it any more. Now I just see whining about which side is more or less successful, and demands to make the corruption machinery more fair... "The proliferation of Congressional earmarks — money for pet projects inserted anonymously in spending bills — which critics say pervert public policy, encourage cronyism and waste federal money. The 12,000 earmarks in this year’s spending bills amount to $64 billion. That's more money than we spend on education- $64 Billion on pork-barrel projects to fatten up the Congressman's wallet... benfrank.net
