because what you dishonestly call "freedom", has poisoned our democracy almost to the point of being beyond repair.

OH YES! HAHA! the "liberal mainstream media"! besides the fact that most mainstream news is not slanted in any major way one way or the other, the ones that are, MSNBC for example are easily countered by the likes of FOX news and such, your argument is dead on arrival.

what has poisoned democracy (thank God we don't have a real democracy) is the progressive income tax and the 17th amendment both of which destroyed the balance of power between the federal government and the states and allow politicians to pit net tax payers against net tax consumers. that and the destruction of the tenth amendment by a corrupt and dishonest FDR administration and courts have set the stage to ruin this country

right.....which is why they are using the only way in the constitution to fight a supreme court decision (an amendment to overturn the citizens united case)...because they hate the constitution and just ignore it and its procedures for things. gotcha!

FOx news vs ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, etc. how many prime time network shows are designed to advance conservative causes vs leftwing causes?

are you a damn idiot? both of those questions have the same relevance in this argument. seriously, your asking more irrelevant questions and switching the topic more than usual.

there are elected officials who are trying to get an amendment passed to undo what the citizens united case has done...
