I don't get the audio from that clip. The thread title gave me a pretty good chuckle though... Republican-respectable. That's rich.

Sorry, you can never have these two words in the same sentence. It's not possible.

And the Republican Rep. is 100% correct.

We maybe Democratic Underground here, but we should also acknowledge that we are Americans. And as such, we have common ground with other Americans. Most Americans in fact. Dale Shultz is part of the 99% just like you and me. And he's talking about how the 1% buys everything in America. EVERYTHING. His quote about the public square is spot on. Everybody should have access to the public square. People, corporations, non-profits... all of it. But nobody should be able to BUY the public square. And that's what the 1% is doing right now, and Citizen's United enables it.
