Man , I missed all the fun . Was busy cooking . did anyone here catch the bottom ? <| sep |> Cooking the books , the job they ' ve been doing all their professional lives . <| sep |> Hugs and smooches to all my rbn buddies . <| sep |> it sure does make it easier for people who already have the means to convince millions of people that their ideas are the right onesActually what is does is ensure a large group of people with limited means has the ability to pool their resources to counter the individuals that have massive means . Before citizens United a INDIVIDUAL was able to spend as much money was they wanted directly on ads if they choose . They just could not form a Corporation , group or pool their resources with any other INDIVIDUALS . It was clearly a violation of the 1 st amendment to censor a INDIVIDUAL , citizen untied simply recognized a Group as a collection of INDIVIDUALS with a common goal or position . This created the moronic catch phrase the left loves of Corporations are people now
