>> There's always going to be a loophole for the rich and powerful to exploit when it comes to campaign money. You may not like it, but you sure have plenty of rich liberals who, like Soros, are pursuing their dreams of utopia.

If you're going to limit speech in any way, you ought to at least do it where it makes sense. For example, the recent Supreme Court case involving parents who were harassed at their soldier-son's funeral by an antiwar church congregation. Or the recent incident in which a dying 7-year old was taunted by neighbors

I honestly can't see why evil corporations shouldn't be allowed to speak out against what government is doing to them just as you and I are permitted to do (although, if Obama had his way . . . )

The PEOPLE in unions and corporations already HAVE free speech. It's ridiculous to assume the corporation they work for somehow "represents" them. What Citizens United did was to give the soulless entities and their massive fortunes the right of human voters.
