Big labor loses, Americans (and esp. Wisconsonites) win

Indeed an election can be "bought" - Big Labor Unions - both public and private - paid lots and lots of money to buy the organization that got the recall going. After all - getting all those people to go door to door and get signatures - or sign them with made up names themselves - isn't cheap. Bussing in union members from out of state so they can have near riots in the state capital building doesn't come cheap.

Big labor paid for the game - then got its clock cleaned.

You can "buy" an election - but you can't buy the results.
However, some will try to stuff the ballot box. No comment on the Madison turnout, huh?

For the record though - I agree with you on the Citizens United decision. Anything that isn't an individual should not be giving money. Period.
