If Walker wins will the USSC decision be made moot?

[uponit7771]

IIRC the basis of their decision was money is NOT power...


Wouldn't Walker having 23 million from outside groups prove this wrong?


No sane person wants walker to win and it looks outside money and media FUDr is making a big difference where it shouldn't...


Your take?

1. Citizens United was "decided" with the knowledge that

there would be plenty of attacks on the "wrong" kind of people wanting to exercise the right to "freedom of speech" ... unions.

2. no sane person wants Walker to win?

so you think all 700,000 who plan to vote for Walker are insane?

or is it just that he catapaulted the propaganda, and those sane people would not vote for Walker if they knew the truth?

Which truth?

Perhaps if you listed, say "the top 10 reasons to NOT vote for Walker" it could go viral and be worth millions of dollars of free advertising. Maybe Barnett could even use it in an ad.

I tried to do that with Brownback. I sent the Holland campaign this

Senator Brownback is quoted in "The Vindicator" of Valley Falls, as saying that Kansas needs to "be more like Texas". My question is - in what way?

Unemployment - Bureau of Labor Statistics, May 2010 http://www.bls.gov/news.release/laus.nr0.htm
Kansas - 6.5%
Texas - 8.3%

Median Income - Census Bureau, 2008 http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/income/statemedfaminc.html
Kansas - $62,462
Texas - $58,765

Growth in median income 2005 - 2007
Kansas - 3.4%
Texas - 2.6%

violent crime rate - 2007 DOJ via SAUS http://www.census.gov/compendia/statab/cats/law_enforcement_courts_prisons/crimes_and_crime_rates.html
Kansas - 453
Texas - 511

poverty rate - Census Bureau 2008
http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/cpstables/032009/pov/new46_100125_01.htm
Kansas - 12.7%
Texas - 15.9%

high school graduation rate - 2001 http://www.manhattan-institute.org/html/cr_baeo_t1.htm
Kansas - 76%
Texas - 67%

Percent with a college degree - 2003 http://www.epodunk.com/top10/collegeDiploma/index.html
Kansas - 31%
Texas - 24.7%

In summary, Brownback seems to think Kansas needs a higher unemployment rate, lower median income, a slower growth rate, more violent crime, more poverty, and a lower high school graduation rate, and fewer college graduates. Well, we cannot say we were not warned about what we can expect if Brownback is elected Governor.
