Dishonesty and Arrogance of Politicians

U.S. politicians never fail to amaze me with their dishonesty and arrogance.

How can anyone seriously believe that the recent supreme court decision to allow corporations unlimited spending on political campaigns right up until the day of the election as a "free speech" issue????

This is a sad day for our political process! It will be big money will slander candidates on the eve of an election when there is no time to respond or disprove claims. This isn't a party issue, since both sides will do it, its a truth and honesty issue. Anyone with enough money and an axe to grind, can destroy a candidate and that candidate will have no chance to respond.

We need to take big money OUT of our politic NOT give it more power!!!

Elections should not be bought buy the person with the most money.

The proponents of big money controlling elections argue that its the responsibility of the voters to educate themselves on the candidates and issues and make an informed decision, and the big money isn't buying elections but just providing information. Which is all true in theory, but in reality is a lie. Big money knows that voters are easily manipulated with money and mis-information, the tea-baggers and the birthers are perfect examples. Most voters will believe almost anything and big money knows this, they know that they can throw out the most insane dis-information, twisting facts however they like and they can get a significant portion of the voters to believe them.

The moderate center of this nation is being marginalized by big money. The extreme fringes are controlling our elections, and big money knows that these fringes are the most easily manipulated, so they are targetting them, and they don't want any limits on how much money they can throw at elections.
