POLITICIANS FOR SALE

This is one of those stories that should have a big gold star next to it so that a year from now you can come back and see where the s__t actually hit the fan.

In an online article this morning, the Washington Post reported that a new Supreme Court ruling has lifted the limits on corporate funding of political campaigns. The 4 to 5 majority decided that corporate contributions were the same as free speech, and limiting them would be unconstitutional. If I had a web cam you could see my head explode.

Just at the moment when we should be eliminating corporate funding altogether and demanding publicly funded elections, these crackers open the flood gates to even more corruption and bribery. Gimme a break! I don't ask for much, but can I please catch a break here?
