I used to work with an old painter when I was a teenager....and he had a saying when people got to full of themselves about something....it went like this "the wind blew, the shit flew..........and there he stood"  ..... that is what I think about when you guys overlook the republican party to your Obama.  :razz:

Not true....he DID work until he was 80, but only because he wanted too....and he only quit then because he needed to take care of his wife full time.  Not everyone depends on a union or government to take care of them....Troll, why can you not see this?

Granted, the old guy did not have the kickass insurance like you did....but he lived to be 91.  Maybe he was lucky.

  You know my dad lived to 91 and he did it with that kick ass union benefits.  How about you dad and his union benefits and I hope to live to live with my kick ass benefits.  What do SCABS do.  I'd like to know.   :titanic:

the bottom line the way I see it is this....McCain Feingold bill was unconstitutional....the gov should not be able to tell anyone (business of people) what they can or cannot do with their money or HOW much they can spend or not spend on ANYTHING....weathy or unwealthy.

It seems as if we wanted to be honest either Corperations should be able to give all (as much as they want) or none at all.  How arrogant is it that gov thinks they can put limits and say how much they can give.

Our federal government was created wit certain enumerated rights and powers....for them to say just WHAT entities can or cannot contribute to a political campaign is NOT one of those rights or powers.

Why is it then okay for Unions and non-pro-fits to give enormous amounts of money to any campaign they want, and believe that THAT is not undermining the good of the people?

The fact is that Corporations are no less "people" than Unions or Non-profits........and constitutionally there are no difference between the two.

With all of this said, let me be clear I do not like coporate or union influence on our government...but lets stick to our constitution and try to figure out how best to handle this.

You really are a moron.  I won't respond to anything else you post here.  Useless.  You are either really fucking dumb, or just fucking with the blog.  I would like to think you are just a troll and not as fucking stupid as you sound.  However, I fear you represent the majority of americans who are the hold-over of Southern Redneck; A NASCAR NATION.
