  • If corporations are "people" then are they not also subject to the responsibilities as well as the rights of individuals--in other words, if a corporation's is found to have cut corners in producing a product, and this leads to a death, who will serve the sentence for involuntary manslaughter or criminally negligent homicide? The CEO? The entire board?

  • I would be fine with corporations staying out of politics, if Rachael Maddow and her ilk in the media would stay out of politics.

    Corporate bought adds are a drop in the bucket compared to liberal bias of media workers.

    Go to a communications class at a university and take a poll. They are 99% liberal. I have seen it in a lecture hall with 500 students, "All those voting democrat raise your hand."

  • @nathanlabish FUCK you. that is all.

  • The governments rights stop when abridging free speech is involved. Thank god the supreme court has read the constitution, I would suggest you do the same.

  • @nathanlabish The corporations' rights stops where the public's rights begin, which is why the court's ruling is wrong.

  • This argument is manufactured left wing authoritarian propaganda. Read the 1st amendment. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech,..." The debate was not if a corporation is a person, but if congress could make a law abridging free speech. When you start with the premise that the government gives you free speech you are in a very dangerous place.

  • "will healthcare reform be the first tragedy?"

    oh how correct you are... how correct you are.

  • @Montfortracing

    They do much more then give TV ads, they have to travel, do rallies, give out flyers, get their word out in any way possible. That all requires massive amounts of money and it does make a big difference.

  • @liberalmike1994 I don't think there is much of a correlation between amount of advertising and success in elections. Voters usually resonate more with the message than a candidate's exposure on TV.
