With another election cycle on the horizon, please let's not forget the 2010 decision by the Supreme Court which overuled 60 years of precedence in regards to corporate spending on election and political messages. Do you know that wall street bankers have already funnelled over $5m to Mitt Romney and even more to the Republican party because they didn't like the slap on the wrist from the Democrat sponsored Dodd-Frank bill? Whether or not you like the bill and whether you're Democrat or Republican, it should bother us all that large corporations and bankers can, since 2010, spend freely to ensure their political interests. We, the 99.99% have .01% effect on political policy as long as corporate america is paying millions upon millions for their interests.
Yes.
All I know is that Justice Ginsberg will likely leave the court within the next 4 years. The thought that a Republican President would be appointing ANOTHER Conservative to the court should scare everyone enough to make sure that President Obama gets re-elected. If nothing else, it would keep the court from getting completely out of balance.

No chance for progress in America
The media pundits keep telling Americans on TV that we must have globalization, we must only elect Republicans and Democrats, we shouldn't have a class war, we should keep letting the politicians take bribes on the record and kickback favors for those bribes, and the list is a bottomless pit of stupidity,
Only people in a deep trance would be irrational. Americans are so arrogant and hypocritical that they'd prefer being destroyed by the pundits who use propaganda to keep them in a trance around the clock.
Obama has lied about everything he promised us. I don't care what color the president is if he's making decisions that will benefit all Americans with good job opportunities, fair taxation, and a great energy plan.

Bribes speak, money doesn't.
