Be afraid. Be very afraid

Well, it's begun. The floodgates of money that were officially unleashed by the Supreme Court with their ruling earlier this year, letting corporations and who-knows-who-all spend as much as they want on campaigns, have been opened: ​The Adam Smith Foundation, a conservative, Jefferson City-based political nonprofit started by some of Matt Blunt's pals in 2007, just wrote a $498,000 check to California political cause Yes On 23, which is trying to stop California's tougher pollution regulations. Now a whole lot of people are asking questions of Adam Smith. The mystery at the center of the uproar is why a political group that has never engaged in any action beyond the state border is suddenly sending oodles of cash out west. That's one-half million dollars, dumped out of the blue from a Missouri group to a California organization to fight new pollution laws on corporations. This is just the beginning, too, folks. It's going to get a lot bigger and uglier from here on. It's as I've said here before--our votes shrank tremendously when the Supreme Court made this ruling. It's as if you and I no longer exist, politically. The corporations and wealthy may now get whatever they wish. We're just along for the ride--and it's whatever ride they want. This is just one more reason, too, why Roy Blunt--and all the Blunts--need to be summarily voted out of virtually any and every political office in the country.
