The irony is lost on these munks too, when they rage against an organization named “Citizens United”.

“We can’t have that” they say ...

Whatever. That is a nice fundraising political stunt but it stands about as much chance of passing as the ERA.

You do know that the Left has a secret plan to revive and pass the ERA, don't you?

If anything, that ruling has given Soros, Gholdmann Sachs, etc. more power, so it works great for the Dems. However, being the flat-out liars that they are, they and the media make it sound as if it was a gift to Republicans, so they keep it in the news, and use the ruling against Republicans.

It should have been the preventative ointment.

I’m sure there’s a “dark media” section in it, banning political opinion, commentary, censoring, advocacy and bias by all media. You know, all the free campaigning and support Democrats get.

Umm...

Corporations aren’t citizens and many are owned by foreigners. It’s simple, No US corporations should be able to donate(buy) to a politician. Corporations need to be barred from any involvement in US politics.

If by secret you mean, gays and illegals, well then, yes we know.

The Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United overturned decades of legal precedent...

A FLAT OUT LIE by the garbage at the Shill. This overturned the illegal McCain-Feingold Act of 2002, a mere 8 years after being signed.

Here's another front that never ceases to amaze amuse me.

The left pisses n moans relentlessly about campaign finance abuse - yet they are consistently the worst offenders! The only thing that would change with this amendment (which will never pass BTW) is that their revenue sources would continue to be protected while the rights sources prohibited.

“...and has enabled billions in dark money to pour into our elections...” And aren’t obama and clinton grateful that it did, making them rich beyond their dreams.

How about unions or think tanks, which are liberal?

I propose a constitutional amendment to make California non existent.

How are the DNC and RNC organized? IOW, what kind of organizational charter allowed their creation and continued operation?

Our democracy is not for sale,” he wrote.
If that were true he and his pals wouldn’t be in office.

Who will pay for the DNC’s Rent-A-Mob program? Oh that’s right...George Sorus, their sponsor, has a tax free foundation to support his evil projects. When will we see restrictions on all the Leftist foundations that work to defeat conservatives?

“Add a provision banning Unions from political spending and I might go for it.”

It would have to include a provision prohibiting “in-kind” contributions from unions, such as allowing/forcing union members to work on campaigns, etc.

Hey Schiff, ever heard the expression, “pissing in the wind”?
