“Last week, the Supreme Court reversed a century of law to open the floodgates for special interests -- including foreign companies -- to spend without limit in our elections,” Obama said tonight. “Well, I don’t think American elections should be bankrolled by America’s most powerful interests, and worse, by foreign entities. They should be decided by the American people, and that’s why I’m urging Democrats and Republicans to pass a bill that helps to right this wrong.”
The court’s ruling overturned a century-old restriction. In a 5-4 decision led by the court’s conservative bloc, the justices said that corporations had the same right to free speech as individuals, and for that reason the government could not stop corporations from spending to help their favored candidates. Many analysts predict the ruling will benefit Republicans in next fall’s midterm elections.
The huge edge fashioned by Democrats out of union political money is now offset by the voice of free enterprise...which is the sole source of wealth in America. This is a good thing.

What, you think unions and organizations like ACORN are entitled to take part in the political process, but not other entites like corporations?

Except when free enterprise begins to outsource... thereby destroying the wealth of the middle class...

So getting back to NAFTA, why do you suppose Clinton pushed it through to begin with, knowing it would export jobs to Mexico? Evil intent, or plain old incompetence?

U.S., Canada and Mexico... not China and India... common sense...
Exactly... why all the outsourcing and manufacturing to China and India?...
Oh I get it - you're saying that repealing NAFTA would stop outsourcing to China and India, even though they're not NAFTA trade partners. Interesting theory...

No... NAFTA is not being utilized at all... maybe a good thing... so why outsource to China and India...
