This country is going down and the only good thing I can say about that is that the rich will be going down too.

Ryan’s elevation to VP pick is about money. The big money donors of the Republican party do not trust Romney (who does?) . New, deep, secret coffers will be open to Romney with the addition of Ryan.

The lies in this election will be so loud and thick on the ground finding the truth will be difficult. So far our media has not been very helpful; it is not fair and balanced to not call out the lies and liars. Journalistic integrity means very little these days.

I agree, the Supreme Court decision paved the way for a plutocracy, and in some ways makes a mockery of democracy. In my opinion, political donations from institutions, PACs and individuals should be banned. Candidates should get equal amounts from the government to conduct their campaigns, which should be limited to relevant matters rather than all the garbage, deceitful political ads, and the hyperbole that seems to be the norm during our political campaigns. As for the Koch brothers, I believe the Justice Department should investigate their dealings with the Iranian Ayatollahs.

The saying goes, “Money can’t buy happiness”, but (thanks to the illegal mega rich repugnicans) it sure seems to be able to buy an election and a country. Shame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Once again I am ashamed to say I’m an american…and I thought that ended with bush jr.

I now refer to them as the Board of Directors of the Republican Party (formerly known as SCOTUS). Based on what Grover Norquist and other leading Republicans have said and their voter supression activity they want to control all three branches of the Government and now allow any other party to have a say in the Policies and Laws of our Country. They want to legislate religious beliefs and morality. They want to be the Republican Regime.

What a joke…America at its worst. The repugnican taliban supreme court should be drug out into Time Square and flogged.

Calling corporations people which has led to super pacs is a good example of why the supreme court needs term limits and need to be elected, not appointed. They should also have to disclose their finances each year so we can be sure they aren’t being influenced by special interests.

It is really amazing how Rove can get very wealthy people to give him their money to spend. I’m thinking Bernie Madoff here. I always distrust people who try to get others to do their bidding because they have no guts of their own. Apparently P.T. was correct in his analysis. Seems to me too that some people have much more money than brains. This situation is much worse than prior to 1215 A.D. with the sense of entitlement the super wealthy have. The feeling that they can do whatever they wish and take from everyone else anything and we are supposed to just accept it. I fully understand the French Revolution now. The sense of hopelessness the ordinary people feel with no legal redress available to them will spawn something much larger and more united as we have been a witness to for the past year or two.
