April 2, 2014: The day democracy died.
But then, it had been totally debilitated, in a vegetative state and on life support for some time now.

Pulling the plug at last was the only merciful thing to do.

According to DU, democracy has died something like eleventy bazillion times. It finally occurred to me that they're not LAMENTING anything - they're HOPING, and they keep getting proven wrong.  (http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024769000)


Evidently this has to do with some SCOTUS decision that means elections will cost Soros a few million more.

WASHINGTON — Unions are gearing up to spend more than $400 million to help re-elect President Barack Obama and lift Democrats this election year in a fight for labor's survival...

They don't like the employers being able to match the employee contributions.

The libs seem to be upset that the playing field is being leveled. Who'd have thunk it?

Not contributions but extortion in many cases.

This SC decision really has the panties in a wad today.  The fake outrage is neverending with the DUmmies.

The old Bible parable of the old woman and her 2 coppers doesn't apply when it comes to politicians and DUmmies....and that fact is what upsets the DUmmies. There 2 coppers don't carry much weight with politicians.

Supreme Court strikes down overall limits on political contributions

Quote
The Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, ruled Wednesday that limits on the total amount of money individuals can give to candidates, political parties and political action committees are unconstitutional.

The ruling removes the cap on contributions, which was set at $123,200 for 2014, but does not change limits on individual contributions for president or Congress, currently set at $2,600 per election.

Sad but ture the playing field still tilted at 45 degrees to union thugs. It would be level if unions had to be charged for in kind contributions of labor. Union members put a lot of feet on the ground and ballot box stuffing. Don't even get started on vandalism to republican GOTV efforts.

We don't have a democracy.

We never had a democracy.

I would not want to live in a democracy.


Mob rule only appeals to a mob.
