Request for help: What are the RWingers saying about the SCOTUS decision?
I know, I know, I'm terribly lazy, but if any of you know about this, I'm part of a nonpartisan voter rights group who is trying to get an idea about the scuttlebutt on the internets from the RW side about the SCOTUS decision. I don't hang out there, but I know some of you do, and I'd appreciate your take on what you've been seeing, any links etc.

Many thanks :hi:

1. Ben Ginsberg came out against it - guess he could be called a RWinger
more accurately, a looney-RWinger in my opinion

2. The ones I have been debating with love it.
Unions have too much power and now the corporations have a shot. :rofl:


They don't live in reality.

4. I love how they try to paint corporations as powerless and oppressed.
:eyes:

The 1% ers are so put upon in this country. :sarcasm:

5. Most of the comments I have seen online on their blogs are supportive
They think it's great.

Which just proves they are stupid. Like we needed proof :rofl:

6. Dear Dog.
Even the libertarians and teabaggers? I would have thought some of THEM at least would be apprehensive.

9. A few of them are apprehensive
But they are drowned out by the wingnuts who are convinced this is good for the GOP and bad for the Democrats.

7. I checked out a few RW sites over the weekend
Libertarians seem concerned but positive.

RW-ers are estatic because this will "offset ACORN". Where this connection comes from, I have yet to discern.

The fact that these people vote turns my stomach. Pretty much anything the left is against, they are for by default even if they don't understand it.

8. McCain says campaign finance reform is dead
He predicts a backlash over time from voters once they see the amount of money that corporations and unions pour into political campaigns. McCain spoke Sunday on CBS' "Face the Nation."

10. Good grief. How can any intelligent person use corporations and unions
in the same sentence?

That's just beyond stupid.

11. Your post spurs me to an interesting thought --
we need to find a list of, let's say, the funding of the corporations, and the funding of the unions, and do some kind of visual comparison so it can be easily seen as to how much more money the corporations control. For shits and grins, throw in PACs and non-profits.

I'm not sure what would be the right comparison, though -- profits of corporations vs. incomes of unions? In other words, money coming in? Or would value, i.e. assets, be better? And I would have no idea about how to go about finding this information in aggregated form.
