Re: Mitt Romney and "the contemptible (none / 0)

Yes. The SCOTUS held in Citizens United, and recently reinforced in American Tradition Partnership, that the 1% own US elections, and nothing short of a constitutional amendment can do anything about it. As a side note, American Tradition Partnership is a far-right organization focused on climate change denial and attacking alternative energy.

There hasn't been a President elected from outside the Corporate Wing of either party since 1948, so its not like Citizen's United was necessary to bring that about.

I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.
