It took another crazy ruling from their Right Wing Extremist Majority on the Supreme Court to make it happen. Secret but legal corporate money flooded the airwaves and mailboxes of millions of angry, confused American voters with corporate, pro-Republican spin blaming government for the problems created by corporations and their lackeys in government (overwhelmingly Republicans) while corporate political media machines like Fox News abandoned all reasonable claims to fair coverage.
It looks like Fox News is trying to hire every Republican candidate for President as a "news commentator" to me. It should be required to register as a Republican political action committee. Nobody who wants an honest debate on real issues or a real understanding of our economy and government should watch it. All Americans should boycott their advertisers because of their extreme bias. No other news organization including MSNBC is so blatantly biased and political in news coverage, hiring of on-air personalities and making campaign donations with corporate money.
The Tea Party Republicans have already vowed to block any attempts to curb corporate spending on politics or to require that the spending be publicly revealed. They have vowed to keep shareholders from having to approve the political spending. Basically, they are on record favoring the corrupting influence of corporate money in politics.
Yes, the Tea Party Republicans elected at every level of government are completely corrupt going into office. They do not want us to have a functioning honest American democracy where the majority has the major say in our government. They want moneyed interest to run both the economy and the government.
These Tea Party Republicans gave Obama and the Democrats less than 6 months to fix decades of Republican mismanagement and intentional abuse. We should give them the same.
By July 4th, the Tea Party Republicans should end the recession and give all Americans who want to work jobs. If they do not, then we should start demonstrating against them and their policies at town halls, Republican events and Tea Party gatherings. Every "conservative" organization event should be picketed.
