What's keeping a foreign corporation now from installing a President (via massive media buys and get out the vote drives)?

And, could Roberts be impeached for lying during his confirmation hearing? So much for his assurances of respect for prior Supreme Court decisions...

3. Yes. All you have to look at to know is our foreign policy.
Take a look at the Cheney energy task force and the invasion of Iraq and take a look at the donor list concerning the TAPI pipeline in Afghanistan. Domestically, our auto industry in Detroit and its unionized workforce is being replaced with foreign car manufacturing plants in the south without unionized labor.

4. A lot of Corporations that we think are American actually have their office in the Cayman Islands.
Halliburton for instance, and most all of the Oil Industry Giants. They do not want to pay American taxes yet they want to dictate how America is governed.

7. They are a Huge corporation and have offices in many countries for each sub-corporation.
Like Brown & Root for instance, They are a Corporation Under their main Corporation Haliburton.
