The man knows that this country will face the same fate should Israel fail.
Socialism is not worth defending.

And, of course, nobody had any problems with Clinton taking money from the Chinese.
Heaven forbid that anybody should donate money to the R-side.

Who still thinks both sides of
the aisle are a waste of time.

It really is different now. We are living in very dangerous times for our democracy. I realize most in this thread are rooting for one "team" over another, but I would hope that everyone sees how the undue influence of big money threatens the legitimacy of the democratic institutions we hold dear. This isn't a football game we're talking about. And in all honesty, you really should have put the rolling around laughing emoticon next to that sentence about anyone donating money to the R-side.

First, Congress passed the Tillman Act in 1907, which prohibited corporations from using their treasuries to influence federal elections. Signed by President Theodore Roosevelt, the legislation recognized what had become abundantly clear: corporate influence corrupts elections. Later, under the Taft-Hartley Act of 1947, Congress extended the same prohibition to labor unions. For generations, these regulations provided the bedrock of our election law that followed, including the landmark Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act passed in 2003. And for several election cycles, between 2004 and 2008, our system seemed headed towards more fair and transparent elections. But Citizens United changed everything.

I have been saying that for years.
Until a wonderful, grassroots farmer from Nebraska with no money behind him (and therefore is beholden to nobody) can get elected, we will continue where we are: A government for the corporations and by the corporations. |

The difference is that the union money represents contributions from millions of union members. Adelson's money represents the opinion of one man. One man who represents no one but himself. |
