Thanks To 5 Justices-Corp campaign spending will be literally limitless For Walker/Repuke Agenda

[kpete]

What’s getting awfully difficult to deny is that what the Wisconsin Republicans are doing—and they have plenty of imitators and admirers—is solely for a partisan purpose, and a potentially lethal one. Of the five biggest non-party organizational contributors to political campaigns in 2008, the top two were unions, both of them pro-Democratic and both composed partly or wholly of public-sector workers. The other three were pro-Republican business groups or PACs. In 2010, after the Supreme Court threw open the cash sluices in the Citizens United case, only one union made it into the top five, and it came in fifth. And from now on, thanks to five Justices, corporate campaign spending will be literally limitless.

1. Democrats won't need union money anymore.

They'll be able to load up on the corporate campaign donations; that's why none of these Democratic Congressmen complained about Citizens United.
