That does not disprove what I said in any way.

Not disproves , it merely makes the liberals share the description "greedy".

There is a difference between being rich and being greedy, by the way. I suppose it is too subtle for your to understand. I question your figures, but even so, our government is set up in such a way that a poor person or a middle class person is unlikely to be able to raise the funds necessary to run for office.

If money is speech, then the poor are mute.

  Money is speech because print is speech.

  TV and radio are speech too , but free speech is expensive that way.

   The poor are not mute because speech is still speech, a bon mot that is funny can be repeated on the gossip chain very economically. This works better than ever now as any twit can tweet.

Not one soul has won an election against someone with big bucks by using the Internet.

Money is not speech.

hehehee

You don't know what money is?

Money is anything that can be exchanged for money.

Would you tell Mark Twain or Stephen King that words are not money?

Would you tell a lawyer that talk is cheap?


Benjamin Franklin was present at the crafting of the constitution , and he understood the multiplying force of publishing on speech.


   Jimmy Carter used a "peanut brigade " to go door to door and talk up the candidate, especially in special and pivotal venues., The money does not always win. Money is a big advantage not a lock.

Other countries do not allow the huge contributions and the interminable campaigns we are blighted with in this country. The ads that money buys rarely inform the voters of anything important, and a one years campaign serves no real purpose.

Money should not be defined as speech. Speech is speech, money is money,

We are allowing our government to be bought by deceptive people with huge fortunes. This will ruin this country.

Homeopathic medicine is funny due to the fact it follow the same principle as vaccines and people who does homeopathic medicine tends to avoid vaccines.

The difference about homeopath is its so dilluted it hardly if ever does the desired effect of triggering the immune system. I love how they claim no negative effects from homeopathic medicine. It's really means is it's so ineffective youre not goona get a bad reaction from it also

Vaccines work, some homeopathic remedies work, I have heard, but the ones that I have tried do not.

All the vaccines I have taken have apparently prevented me from contracting the target disease.
