Have you noticed that ever since the Supremes bent us over and fucked us, the media has been saying that "Unions and Corporations" will now be able to spend freely on politics.
5. Ironic isn't it? That the self pro-claimed "populists" will likely turn against
this decision only because those who support laborers (people last I check) would be able to give money to support causes of working Americans. However had it just been corporations, they probably wouldn't even flinch.
Emotion is a powerful thing and the Republicans are experts at tapping into it in ever increasingly cynical ways.
And Ratigan yesterday, who I like for the most part was trying to compare the money unions spent for lobbying during the HCR debate (which was just over $2 million) to the money spent by the corporations which was over $1 million per day or something. Outrageous!
11. It was also ridiculous when they mentioned Sierra Club and the
ACLU as 'leftist' groups that could balance the corporate spending. Every Repub spokesman today cited those 2 groups as if they were in the same financial league as big business.
