Court has made it legal to buy politicians

Supreme Court endorses purchase of American politicians. Well, it's about time. No more having to listen to months of political rhetoric full of lies and nearly slanderous statements about candidates for election. No more moralizing about adulterous affairs on this candidate or that.

No more having to waste our time as individual voters going to the polls on Election Day to cast ballots we may often consider a vote for the lesser of two evils.

Unfortunately, for some, such as Rush Limbaugh, their jobs may be in jeopardy since we just don't have to listen to their ravings anymore. And, unless we have

unlimited resources within our grasp, our children will never have to make that heartfelt decision to run for office to serve their country.

The Supreme Court has made certain the purchase of our politicians is legal, and we all know those same representatives are not going to limit gigantic contributions on their own. After all, their “job” is to get re-elected, time after time, not represent the people. Oh, and think of the money we can save not having it fund obsolete elections.

Just add up all the gigantic amounts contributed by those buying favor and the amount that's largest is your choice. The individual vote is a thing of the past, totally unnecessary, that's real freedom.
