Yeah craigd... remember when you were protesting on the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court, marching and lighting candles in favor of "Citizens United"??? And remember all those posts you made here wishing for the same outcome???
Me neither.
But it really didn't make any real difference except to Liberal Left Democrats who whine and cry and complain that all the big money goes into Republican campaigns. Nothing could be further from the truth. Large Liberal money has been flooding Democrat campaigns for decades, from Billionaires Soros, Gates, Allen, Bloomberg, etc., to GM and General Electric. Add in the billions of dollars of "intangible" value of 24-7-365 non-stop majority support from the Liberal Media, along with the requisite Republican bashing, and it is plain to see why the Liberals complain about something like the Citizens United decision. They had the upper hand and wanted to keep it at all costs.
Coincidentally, this is also a problem for lobbyists fighting to maintain and preserve our 2nd Amendment Rights. Individual donors to the NRA are largely going up against massive financing and lobbying funded by Liberal left millionaires and billionaires.
