So corporations should not run political ads but Acorn should?

Which one of those is a non-profit?

Mookie and I disagree a lot. It's all good though. However, on this issue I agree with Mookie 100%. We see what the power of money and lots of it can do to an election. The companies with unions who just got a closed door deal with Obummer on healthcare....gee how much will be filtered to the campaign account on the next go around? You scratch my back and I will scratch yours...using $100 bills of course.

Not just ACORN but the New York Times, the Boston Globe and a million other liberal rags. Those media CORPORATIONS get to run political ads under the guise of "news".

Hello,
only that in Germany, those newspapers are mostly owned and influenced (like the right-wing politicians) by industries and big business. And this does NOT change when a "leftist" party is being elected - as soon as this happens those "news" get really disgusting, and are like B$ as their intentions are obvious.
In Australia, they call the newspapers "truth makers"

Strange that every day happens exactly as much, as fits into a newspaper...

I've read the the whole thread carefully, and in the end I believe Mookiemookie has hit it on the head, and Skybirds view is accurate, and Aramikes "informed electorate", will be the next crook when he gets to Washington and stuffs his pockets also.

The United States is not a Democracy at all, but a full blown Anarchy, and most always has been. Who will introduce the first bill to change the name of the "United States of America" to a truthful and proper name.....

If you're so against corporations pushing a political agenda, I am failing to see where the disconnect is. They've been given a green light to do so even more.
