I think about how much political <i>momentum</i> plays a role in the ebbs and flows of our history. You have to look at Citizens United and think about not just how bad it is but also about what else they'll be able to win down the road because of Citizens United.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11154351095467482965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4065910512732060865.post-27211015167553551022010-10-05T13:48:28.116-05:002010-10-05T13:48:28.116-05:00Hey, Dave, check out the opinions today in the Was...Hey, Dave, check out the opinions today in the Washington Post. Not only do corporation squelch democracy, but through the vehicle of fake non-profits they funnel kazillions into political races. And guess which party is the recipient of this largesse ?

It makes one wonder where this will all lead.delainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01519073646760104147noreply@blogger.com
