Well, pard', the Supreme Court made it official today: Businesses and unions
can spend as much as they want to for political campaigns, advertising, and

We're for sale! How much money ya' got? We're not cheap, but the view is
great. You can see Russia from here!

Ye of little faith. Corporations can spend as much money on
advertising for products as they want . Yet somehow people manage to
think for themselves and don't blindly buy things because a company
spent a bunch of money advertising. The same applies to politics.
Advertising is not a magic potion. It does make people aware of
things, but it does not control their minds.

It is called a "free market place of ideas". The good ideas will
prevail. Look at the last election. Hillary had all the money in the
beginning, but did not get the votes.
Obama got elected, but will only get re-elected if he does well.
