Your thoughts?

I am more and more of the belief that money has corrupted and continues to corrupt our democracy. The idiotic Citizens United decision has accelerated the corruption. There are several movements attempting to get people to agree with versions of a constitutional amendment. We can’t count on SCOTUS – too many of those judges are blind to the havoc they unleashed on our electoral system to count on their support for our representative democracy. They showed us that with their decision on the Montana case.

I actually hope the the Koch bros, Sheldon Andelson and local folk like the Ricketts lose their hundreds of millions of dollars. There is no way they are doing this “for the good of the country”. They have their own self-interest in mind – and don’t let anyone fool you otherwise.
