You dont like it, TOUGH.. its NOT YOUR MONEY...
Thanks for affirming what I have been saying since this thread was started, Cons believe in the right to buy Representatives and that it has Nothing to do with Freedom of Speech. You make this way too easy, Nonsense.

Nope, it is MY COUNTRY

Who's going to give it to them? If it is the government, that means taxation. It also means that I, as a conservative, am forced to support those I don't agree with, as well as those I do agree with. I don't want to support "Progressives." I strongly object to their agenda and ideology, which is anti-Constitution, and anti-American.

I want to make sure that candidates of my choice have every advantage possible.

How do candidates get elected if not through freedom of speech? how do you not vote to take away someone elses money if not through elected officials who believe in taking other peoples money?

Its also MY country, and if you dont like my companies donating to candiates TOUGH!!! Go cry to your mommy I dont care.

Sure it does,

It wasnt that long ago democrats were celebrating Obama when he set a goal to raise $1 BILLION dollars, as a sign that the people have spoken..

now donating money isnt a sign of speech, only when Democrats are the recipiants.

In his "progressive" world, business should have no voice at all, and government is the solution to everything.

And now he's arguing otherwise since we're discussing Republicans.

Dont worry, you guys always do, if we cant count on liberals to be inconsistant, then we cant count on anything.

Wow, looks like I hit a nerve getting you guys to admit openly that you agree with Big Businesses being able to buy our Government Representatives, something you were denying in the beginning of this thread. Now you are on Record and it will be there for reference at a later date when you claim you never said it. Thanks for playing, boys and girls, my job on this Thread is complete. Jeeez, you guys are so easy and predictable.
ROTFLMAO!
