Breaking News
Dad said, "The doors to hell have now been opened."
Dad's comment is regarding the "breaking news" - "US Supreme Court frees corporations from decades of limits on spending in political campaigns."
Dad continued, "Unlimited contributions to the politicians, carte blanche. Gawd... our donkeys are in BIG trouble. Whatever the corporation wants, they will get. Not a good thing for any person to have this kind of power or source of funds."
"... landmark decision that allows massive sums to be spent to influence future elections."
Great, like we need more corporate power in the mix? It was already bad enough. That means any chance that a Politician had to NOT be corrupt... has been erased. What Politician won't cave in to the "massive sums"?
In the Yahoo article: "In his sharply worded dissent, Justice John Paul Stevens wrote, "The court's ruling threatens to undermine the integrity of elected institutions across the nation."

And I also think no country outside of the USA should be allowed to contribute to OUR political campaigns. Our voters/our citizens should be the only ones.
Your Dad is a smart guy :)
