Angry dissents going after the President, Citizens United, Dahlia Lithwick is on also.

Watch the second time if you can.

That this is the direct result of Bush v Gore. This is how that decision has put us where we are right now with a Supreme court that is so far removed from justice and has become so politicized, they should be impeached. Terrifying.

Republican Meg Whitman has spent more than $140 million so far on her campaign for California governor and lost.

If people are informed, they'll come out and vote.

That's not always the case, though, and we know that money can have a HUGE impact in determining election outcomes.

who thinks CU is the end of the world. A good policy would do a 1000x better than all the political ads you can run on TV. Imagine if we had a single payer that was implemented yesterday, with cost controls, this election would have been over. Add ending of the drug wars and middle east wars which will help lower the deficit and Obama will be looking at a 65%-35% victory come Nov.

Landslide with the chamber of commerce and all the rethug henchmen watching helplessly
