It's a weird ruling coming from the "conservative" side of the Justices, too, as it is far from "conservative" - it is completely opposite to, unsupports and undermines, the simplicity and power of the single voter in our electoral system. The "tea party patriot" movement has to be going completely ballistic.

Corporations are not voters or individuals. They have always had "freedom of speech" as corporate entities to support candidates of their choice financially and in the press, with ads, etc. I think the "Tea Baggers" are not understanding what just happened here, if they are supporting this. Are they not against big government, government involvement and interference, corporate control of government, and for the rights of the individual above all else? This ruling is completely opposite to that ![]()

![]() Teabaggers aren't afraid of Wall Street banks, oil companies, health insurers etc. etc. they are afraid of government controls and violations of freedom of speach whether it be individuals or 'evil' corporations.
Corporations, incidently owned by most anyone with a stock fund or retirement account. The fact that Obama so strongly opposes the ruling and which Justices ruled for it should have been a huge clue on how the patriots feel. |

![]() You'd better do a good review of your investments, for those "corporations incidently owned by most anyone with a stock fund or retirement account", because controls on what those corporations can do with your profits (politically) just were removed.

Right now, when the stock market falls a bit due to politics? It's due to fear their free-for-all party has been busted. Keep that in mind ![]()

big government got smacked down by the court. no longer will they be able to control this fundamental expression of political speech. a right this country was founded on. tea party people don't demonize corporations, we don't fear corporations or other groups that might have a message. we do fear big government however. |

i'll predict right now that more corporate influence over election results leads to additional regulation designed to limit competition, not less. it'll also lead to additional government subsidies given to the new corporate masters. the voice of your tea party group is going to matter less in the new election paradigm, not more. when the government is fully in the pocket of corporations, will you still distinguish between "good" corporations and "bad" government? |
