Swiftboats on steroids

A potentially mortal blow to democracy was struck today in a Supreme Court ruling, yes sir, CITIZENS UNITED v. FEDERAL ELECTION, which basically rules that; money = free speech.

One cannot out-shout reason, a louder voice does not make a more logical argument, but that's not the opinion of five advocate judges.

Combine this ruling with the repeal of truth in advertising law and there will be no limit to moneyed propaganda of special interests. I hope that Senator Feingold is outraged, but I wonder what Senator John McCain really thinks. I remember when McCain was one of the good guys, before he got swift-boated by the GW handlers henchmen.
