He always slips. Hasn't he learned that saying dumb things prevents him from being elected into a political office? I though Sarah Palin was the most clueless in the GOP.

SCOTUS said they are so Romney is correct from a legal standpoint. While I don't like Romney he was not wrong in his statement per SCOTUS decision and the attack by the OP is a huge FAIL.

The word "corporation" derives from corpus, the Latin word for body, or a "body of people."

OP, while I agree with you, unfortunately, it was the SCOTUS, not Romney, who said that corporations are legal persons. He is correct on a loegal standpoint, and saying otherwise is just political grandstanding. Besides, why are you even bashing him? The guy is Obama-lite!

Oh and, why aren't you condemning the liberal hecklers at his rally? You liberals certainly made your opinions known about the tea partiers coming in and disrupting town hall meetings during the healthcare debate

Then perhaps someone from the right can explain why corporations seem to be the only 'people' the GOP cares about?

Who do you think owns the shares in a corporation? Aliens from Mars? Geez...if you raise taxes on corporations you either cut the earnings to the PEOPLE who own the shares or the PEOPLE who run the corporation pass along the costs to the PEOPLE with whom they do business. I don't like Romney but use a little common sense. Raising taxes on corporations means taking money out of someone's pocket and putting it in the government's pocket.

Corporations are people, yeah. People who can't be tried in court that is.


Corporations are entities.
