Supreme Court Decision

Today the Supreme Court ruled that Corporations as well as other entities can spend whatever amount of money they deem necessary in support of a candidate or certain legislation.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing? I really don't have much of an opinion on this except for a few key points. I think it is a good thing and it re enforces the first amendment rights of individuals as well as the corporations they own and or work for. It's no different than the school board telling their unionized teachers to vote a certain way or financially support a certain candidate.

Why are Democrats so outraged by this decision? Because Liberals think it is OK for Labor Unions, ACORN, Code Pink, Move On Org, etc. to advance their agendas with absolutely no scrutiny or morality because it serves their best interests. Now that Oil Companies, Pharmaceutical companies, Developers, Venture Capitalists, etc can spend money on their own behalf by essentially refuting and enhancing the private versus public enterprise argument it is now a bad thing...Not on my watch Chief! What is good for one should be good for everyone isn't that the Liberal ideology in a nutshell? You have more than I do so give me some of yours!!! Don't get me started on the Liberal double standard...

Can elections now be bought by this type of ruling? As Obama has not so elegantly shown, politicians can be bribed, coerced, and bought but the American voting public has the uncanny ability to smell a rat and disavow those actions, hence the Massachusetts election or referendum on Obama. There are almost as many or perhaps more public employees than private employees so this should even the playing field in my opinion.

Besides, who are the wealthiest Americans and what side to they typically support? Here are a few wealthy Liberals, ever heard of them? Gates, Buffet, Soros, Allen, Winfrey, etc. Rest assured there is a lot of money in America to go around to support either side. Here is my moral dilemma and the reason I am on the fence with regards to this topic. I would rather see that money being spent to create jobs, eradicate abortion, create infrastructure, etc. rather than pissed away on any politician but the first amendment is bigger than me so who am I to judge?

Just my thoughts on this matter, I would love to hear any of yours!
