Everyone, stand at attentionright now, for the billionaires have another complaint: Why are we so mean to them when they donate millions of dollars to political causes that we may despise? It is a primitive, mob mentality, practiced by primitives. Why must outspoken donors -- because, remember, money is speech! -- even be known by the public? It hurts their personal lives, it hurts their businesses. This is what things were like in the Dark Ages,
It's the latter that's the problem . . . all the bullshit TV ads "paid for by Real Americans for an American America" are starting to creep me out.
<i>Clinton suggested it was dangerous for Democrats to go after Romney&#039;s record at Bain Capital&mdash;adding that in private equity, &quot;like anything else you try, you don&#039;t always succeed&quot; in saving companies or making them more productive.</i>
You don&#039;t always succeed -- but you always make millions. What the fuck kind of &quot;business&quot; is that?
The astounding disconnect with any sense of common decency just boggles the mind.
One hopes this karma thing is real and that vandersnooty&#039;s glaringly negative balance shall eventually doom him to one of Dante Alighieri&#039;s most thoroughly ghastly afterlife depictions.
Here&#039;s to hopin. (E grazie tanto, <i>il Sommo Poeta</i>!)
This is the same Vandersloot that took out a 1 page ad in a small town newspaper calling out a gay journalist who looked into his campaign finance spending. He apparently has a legion of attorneys (good for him) and even tried to challenge Rachel Maddow over one of her stories about this chap.
He&#039;s nothing more than a prime cut, Grade A, aged gaping shitheel. The fact that he&#039;s Commander Hair Helmets co-chair for campaign finance demonstrates he has a self-serving agenda.
No no no....it&#039;s not blackmail. Just a favor between friends, family, colleagues, whatever. A simple case of &quot;I scratch your back, you give me title to the entire fucking planet&quot;. It&#039;s just...business.
Money = speech.
Anonymous money = anonymous speech

i have always thought auto da fe was a very handy tool for changing minds.
what&#039;s really sad is these asshats won&#039;t be raptured so we can&#039;t get their stuff.
<i>You go back to the Dark Ages when they put these people in the stocks or whatever they did</i>
that&#039;s really funny frank. most of your party&#039;s social policy comes directly FROM the dark ages.
right? it&#039;s afternoon here and i still feel like that?
and the romney camp gloating makes me want to slit my wrists.

But he sure seemed to like Bob Rubin, Larry Summers, and Alan Greenspan, amiright?

You would if that money would guarantee that you would reap millions more in favors some time in the future.

Am I the only one to whom that almost sounds like an endorsement of the idea?
I thought that race had already been won by the Marketing Department of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation.
The Kochs have given close to $400 million this year and it&#039;s all because they love <strike>America</strike> money!
