The Supreme Court threw out a 63-year-old law designed to restrain the influence of big business and unions on elections Thursday, ruling that corporations may spend as freely as they like to support or oppose candidates for president and Congress. The decision could drastically alter who gives and gets hundreds of millions of dollars in this year's crucial midterm elections.

I wonder if that's why the Democrats started screaming about leaving Bush's tax cuts in place

Chimp's Commentary:

Up to today, the 1000s of lobbyists in Washington were already controlling our congress but lots of the bribery money they spent was hidden.

Now, they can come right out and “elect” or “buy” politicians.

Welcome to the new UNITED STATES CORPORATION OF AMERICA.

Slavery is back and you didn’t even feel it, America.

Welcome to "1984" and "The Matrix". Once again, we are screwed!

Kiss your country goodbye to Exxon, Wal-Mart, Pharmaceuticals, Insurance Companies, Banks, etc...
