Colbert is the only true conservative in the race!

Looks like a constitutional amendment banning corporate personhood would do pretty well in SC.  Might be time for a convention!

I’d vote for him.

I’m very thankful that reasonable heads prevailed on the Citizens United case, including the ACLU who applauded the decision.

Buzzwords like “corporate personhood” sounds great and pulls at emotional heartstrings that stirs up a base of people to dull to look into the ramifications of restricting any speech.  Especially political speech. 

Colbert – making a better tomorrow, tomorrow.

Hey you know who is dumber then Ron Paul supporters? give up
Stephen Colbert supporters.

ROLL DAMN TIDE!!!!!!!!

I’ll be pulling for Colbert.  He’s the only one in the race that’s a true conservative.   

It’s going to come as such a shock when Colbert announces his candidacy as the presidential nominee for the Dems in 2016. 

Even Alvin Greene received 27.6 % of the vote in the general election in South Carolina … Is this the best Colbert can do ?

Ahead of the Huntsman?

I’m also thankful that outright bribery has been euphemistically called “speech,” and also that vast majorities of the electorate oppose the CU decision.

This isn’t a poll of the entire electorate.

Derp.

I’m glad that if Michael Moore decides to put out one his his multi million dollar corporate mockumentaries before an election, that the government can’t stop him.

I don’t care what the vast majority of the electorate think, we have a first amendment.

The majority of people think Avatar is a good movie.  That is why you should be grateful that we’re not a “mob rule” democracy.

 

Easily the smartest of the bunch.

Hopefully he’ll be on the ballot in all 50 states so his almost entirely liberal audience will all vote for him instead of Obama.

I’m pretty sure that Michael Moore’s movies aren’t direct political contributions.  I think that the original case, which was about a movie about Hilary was a perfectly good example of protected speech.

But when the dishonest corporate lawyer who is currently Chief Justice told the lawyers to re-argue the case to flood elections with corporate bribes, he was advocating for fascism.

The case overturned centuries of legal precedent, would have been offensive to Madison and Jefferson and is a perfect example of an activist court.

“I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied
corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial
by strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country.”

-Thomas Jefferson

“The growing wealth aquired by them [corporations] never fails to be a source of abuses.”

–James Madison”The money powers prey upon the nation in times of peace and conspire
against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than a monarchy,
more insolent than autocracy, and more selfish than bureaucracy. It
denounces as public enemies, all who question its methods or throw light
upon its crimes. I have two great enemies, the Southern Army in front
of me and the Bankers in the rear. Of the two, the one at my rear is my
greatest foe.. corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption
in high places will follow, and the money powers of the country will
endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the
people until the wealth is aggregated in the hands of a few, and the
Republic is destroyed.”
-Abraham Lincoln

The people will have their say on this, or the decision will be reversed.  In the meantime, I hope that the corporate floozies on the right marry themselves to this decision with all of their might.

You don’t understand the case nor what Moore does. Inform yourself before you comment again.

It’s “dumber than” not dumber then.

Stick with your banjo playing.

You might want to brush up on your grammar before referring to others as “dull.” 

The reason CU was overturned is because the language would prevent documentaries criticizing or endorsing a politician as “political advertising” and campaigning 60 days before an election.

A complaint was filed for Fahrenheit 911 to the FEC, and in Citizens United’s case they were prevented from releasing the Hillary documentary.

If you don’t see what’s dangerous about government deciding who can or can not exercise political free speech, I don’t know what to say.

The downside of all of this money in politics is preferable to the consequences of silencing political views.

I recommend reading the ACLU’s amicus brief:

The ACLU has consistently taken the position that section 203 is
facially unconstitutional under the First Amendment because it permits
the suppression of core political speech, and our amicus brief takes
that position again.

“If you don’t see what’s dangerous about government deciding who can or
can not exercise political free speech, I don’t know what to say.”

The key word here is “who.”

Corporations are not people, they are not “whoes.”  They are entities that exist because of a government charter.  The claim that corporations are people for the purposes of the 1A flies in the face of common sense, which is why so many people are revolted by your insane position.

Every person employed the corporation maintains their 1A rights regardless.  Their rights are not violated.

You cite the ACLU, I’ll cite Madison, Jefferson and Lincoln.

Colbert would stay true to character and run as a Republican.

I’m working on it.  It’s a daily struggle since I’m blind, missing my arms, dyslexic, and English is my 4th language.

I type with my tongue and show early signs of dementia.  I’m also a midget who’s lost his job due to the corporate greed of the 1%

So maybe you should brush up on your sensitivity and diversity!

I’m also eating Ellio’s pizza in my underwear.

Of course it’s not a poll of the ‘entire’ electorate !

Why do you think they call it a ‘poll’ ?

So, was the ‘derp’ your signature to that post ?

That’s about 5 times better than Rick Perry did in New Hampshire!  LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let me see if I can dumb this down enough for you.

This was a poll of GOP primary voters, not a poll of all South Carolinians.

Derp?

It’s sad that you’re clueless about the most serious of your disabilities – your offensive personality.

Colbert is beating Huntsmann? That alone is enough for Huntsmann to drop out. Why do these egomaniacs stay in it if they have absolutely no chance of winning? 

41% find him unfavorable?? Haven’t they’ve seen his show?? He’s hilarious!!

I guess we will have to ask ANY of the republican candidates.

That’s interesting since he has a far more conservative record than Romney. The difference between Huntsman and the rest of the GOP field is that he sounds rational in most of his arguments. The appearance of sanity makes him less scary than the others. 

Who’s dumber than Ron Paul supporters?

Crimson Tide fans?
