The Anti-Romney Medicare fraud ad is why I love the Citizens United decision, other than it was

[RB TexLa]

correctly decided.

I want politics dirty. It's more fun. It's more real. It allows you to really go after your opponent in a very nasty way and then say "oh, nothing I can do about that group. But now that the issue is out there ...."

We have to put this false idea that politics has to be civil away. It's not civil. It's not supposed to be civil. Attacks, tricks, lies and violence all have places in politics.

1. Yeah

"The Anti-Romney Medicare fraud ad is why I love the Citizens United decision, other than it was "

Bring on the Koch brothers. Down with OWS!

More Gingrich and Mitt, less people power!

Good grief!

6. I think we can make this Citizens United thing work for us

Here is what I mean: I listen to several old time radio internet stations. They rebroadcast old programs like Dragnet and Johnny Dollar, in what I assume to be their entirety, including the commercials that originally aired with the program. These old commercials of course are delivered by the program’s star or announcer. For instance, Jack Webb, every 15 minutes, extolling the virtue of smoking Pell Mell cigarettes. “Pell Mell uses only premium tobacco for an experience of a soothing smoke.”
I think that politicians that accept corporate money or PAC money should be forced to deliver similar live commercials every time they speak; and if it is a debate before they can answer the moderator’s question they have to deliver the commercial. There will be no images or graphics allowed just the politician extolling the virtues of their sponsors.

2. it's not about the civility

it's about the money.

If Newt wins, he's going to have to pay back the casino guy that paid for that great ad. That is terrible for America.

3. When the president wins re-election he will have some people to pay back. Buying some

access isn't so terrible.

[GodlessBiker]

4. Yeah, it is. It always favors those with the money to pay for it.

5. ....

For years now, I've seen you promote positions like this, that are, to say the least, provocative. Enough said.
