Robert Siegel obviously thought he was full of it, which he is, but couldn't say so in so many words. He tried, though.Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08625950040870228573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15040772.post-54583997085688031362010-01-25T10:31:35.074-08:002010-01-25T10:31:35.074-08:00And so the shysters win again.
And again.
Becaus...And so the shysters win again.<br /><br />And again.<br /><br />Because they have the money and the little guy once again, gets kicked to the ditch. If he complains, they tell him he better be grateful for his ditch because they can afford to make his lot in life even worse.<br /><br />The people of this country have been slapped with a big red sticker that says, "Reduced for quick sale" like day old baked goods.<br /><br />It's hard to believe that we have taken the greatist experiment in human freedom and pissed it down our leg. I'm going to have a tough time explaining to my kids why they no longer count as people anymore.<br /><br />DocDochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16979621370660001312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15040772.post-77148777034968651182010-01-23T15:52:38.834-08:002010-01-23T15:52:38.834-08:00I forgot Kristofferson wrote that song.

A way for politicians to get up to speed in a million different areas, talking to specialists and experts for their best advice? Or has it always just been about money and the proverbial reach around? After this latest SCOTUS decision, Senators and Congresspeople should be required to wear their sponsor's swag, just like NASCAR drivers and NFL teams.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15040772.post-31855273873568352472010-01-23T15:06:36.535-08:002010-01-23T15:06:36.535-08:00Bro, you should read this article, which summarize...Bro, you should read this article, which summarizes why the decision is bad and unnecessary for the "free speech" of corporations.<br />http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/01/22/AR2010012203897.htmlvikkitikkitavihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01501311175482530001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15040772.post-73084305246136666422010-01-22T18:05:55.479-08:002010-01-22T18:05:55.479-08:00Strangely enough I am on the fence about this. I ...Strangely enough I am on the fence about this. I believe that the gvmnt cant dictate who can say what, and whether you can't say it just because your a corporation. Somewhere I heard that lobbying/lobbiest is freedom of speech and I bought it.<br /><br />So I think that the government cant tell corporations they cant say certain things; hopefully things like corporate law, shareholder feedback and the Internets un-tamable ways will make Haliburton flaming someone on Fox a mute point. <br /><br />But I think I think that they have a right to say it (and say it often because they do have money alas). Not fair, sure, worth putting the decision into the current government's hands, no.Bronoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15040772.post-86520878236681928662010-01-22T17:35:01.966-08:002010-01-22T17:35:01.966-08:00Now I can breathe again.
