Support the movement to amend the Constitution to bar
corporations from being persons.  Go to

Also, watch the Colbert Report tonight where Bernie
Sanders will discuss his bid to do the same.

So now we have Gingrich Moaning.  It is ironic that the conservative
Justices forced the interpretation that corporations are persons and
faceless money conglomerates can run ads with no limit on the
amount of money invested anonymously, and an arch conservative
has been the target by one of his own colleagues whose PAC spent
millions upon millions to kick him in the ass out of at least the ever
ubiquitous Iowa selection.  Gingrich is next to last (Bachmann
deservedly is last) in the darling-of-the-party polls that are taken
every five minutes in Iowa that really is just another straw poll that has
no binding element for the Party.  Woe be to the Iowa voter who has to
go take a crap and is missed in the polling, it could throw the entire
thing off.  It’s a laugh riot. Can it be that Retributive Justice comes riding
in on negative ads?  Oh yeah.

Gingrich is oblivious to the fact that it was he who started the
negative attacks on Romney and the others really.  He only has to
check the videos of what he said in public and the debates.  But he
realized the others had a lot more shoddy stuff on him so he tried to
sneak behind a pact that would eliminate negativity against each others. 
Oh yeah.

With Gingrich Moaning it might be easier for those proposing
Constitutional Amendments to get nullifying the corporate
personhood Supreme Court ruling passed through Congress since
it would seem many conservatives can see their future written on the
wall of negative ads paid for by PACs.  Oh yeah.

there was no good way to decide Citizen’s United. the only decent ruling would
have been a more narrow one.

Most non-dead brained among us realize the sheer
idiocy of the ‘decision’ that corporations are
persons and (previously) that money is speech.  But
why the decision to allow anonymity in some forms of
political advertising is a real conundrum.

The only reason that comes to mind is to protect the
‘speaker’ from libel - a published statement that is
untrue, malicious and damaging to one’s reputation.
But why would or should such a ‘speaker’ need
protection. 

The Supremes on the right seem to believe that the
laws of the land, the laws that govern what we say
(or what we do) do not apply in the political arena. 
Is it any wonder that our political system is so
completely screwed up and is screwing us royally?

The Supreme Court has five bottom feeders.  As a liberal, I
can’t bring myself to include the liberal Justices.  Something
about not doing in one’s own.  And the flavor of the Supreme
Court is something to think about as you go to the voting booth
in November as appointments for new Justices is almost certain
in the next four years.  If a Republican takes the office of
president, you can bet your life (thanks Groucho) the people will
continue to lose protective ground.  At any rate, faceless money
contributors via PAC middleman declared legal by the Supreme
Court is being challenged by several Congressmen.  But until
the sympathies of the politicians of Congress is changed, until
politicians are elected who support the people and not benefit
corporations, nothing will change in the people’s favor, but will
change even deeper for the Republican protected corporatocrats. 
Bernie Sanders, a senator, proposed an amendment, as have
Representatives Donna Edwards, John Conyers, Ted Deutch and Jim
MocGovern each have proposed an amendment to nullify the
SCOTUS interpretation that corporations are persons.

TV newsjournalist speaking on behalf of OWS and the rest of us
who care, Cenk Yugur also is leading a populous effort to amend
the Constitution.

But here is the problem: 

Amendments to the Constitution may be proposed by a two-thirds
vote of both houses of Congress or by a convention called by
Congress on the application of the legislatures of two-thirds of the
states. (All subsequent amendments have been initiated by
Congress.) Amendments proposed by Congress must be ratified by
three-fourths of the state legislatures or by conventions in as many
states.

We know conservatives will fight to keep the status as is, so we
shall have to see what kind of courage and fortitude the liberals in
Congress have.  But even more important, if that is possible, what
kind of fire and force the American people have to replace federal
representatives, House of Representatives and Senators, who would
actually represent their health, education and welfare.

Maybe reality will haunt the Repulcians from deceptions past!

Really TD, Joe Klein?!?!  Has there been a new one discovered, or is this the same Joe Klein who said the prosecution of “Scooter” Libbey was a political witch hunt and that he was innocent?  The same Joe Klein who said investigating war crimes committed by the U.S. was dangerous to the country?  The same Joe Klein who
said investigating Wall Street was a meaningless exercise in feel good populism?

Anyone can look at polling data and see the immense revulsion of the country to Citizens United and pop out a couple of paragraphs stating the obvious.  Corporitist Hack Beltway Punditry is so hard to come across these days, are we to
look forward to future posts by Freidman, Fund, Kristol, or Noonan?

THE SUPREMES ARE BOTTOM-FEEDING

The Roberts Supreme Court has dived to even lower levels in its search of legalistic bottom-feeding.

A decision that would attribute “citizenship” to corporations is sheer idiocy, the hallmark of this present Supreme Court. Since when do corporations “vote”? Only citizens vote.

Which is why corporations try to manipulate the democratic process by funding election campaigns.

The Court is not the least bit “balanced” in its ruling process, but consists of a majority that votes consistently with the Rabid Right.

That can only change when two of them, hopefully Thomas and Scalia amongst the most ingrained on the Right, leave the court.

Which is why it is important to support the petition that is presently circulating to investigate Thomas.

Do we always have to have a group of people to demoralize and pick on to lift ourselves up really? Is that really necessary? This reminds me of all of the childish trash talk I experience on XBOX Live. “You are a fag” works pretty good because it is the single remaining stereotype that is socially acceptable.

Real mature childish adults, real mature.

What is better? The Whopper or the Big Mac? That is the question.
