Taking it too far

We all remember about a month ago when The Supreme Court gave their ruling on corporate rights, right? Well now one little corporation is putting this to the test. Murray Hill Incorporated is running for the 8th district seat in Maryland in the upcoming election.
"Bring on the competition"
That is what the incumbent Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D), who holds the 8th Congressional District, says to this play for corporate power. Who really knows why they are doing this, is it because they really want to show how The Supreme Court has messed things up by making that ruling? or is it simply a publicity stunt to get more clients? Who knows? One thing is for sure, it will be interesting to see how the people of the Maryland 8th District will vote, or if this will even last that long. Below is a video that they recently put on their site, saying that
"Now that Democracy is for sale Murray Hill Incorporated is Offering Top Dollar"

Seriously? Since when was Democracy EVER for sale? I seriously doubt that this is what the founding fathers had in mind when they wrote The Constitution. This is just ******* crazy if you ask me.

Left and Right, United?

Both Republicans and Democrats are united in opposition of the latest controversial ruling from the Supreme Court. The SCOUTUS ruling gave corporations an extension on their "freedom of speech" and allowed them to donate an unlimited amount of money to political campaigns. They have actual polls to back this up (Not FOX polls)
Even more remarkable may be that opposition by Republicans, Democrats, and Independents were all near the same 80% opposition range. Specifically, 85% of Democrats, 81% of Independents, and 76% of Republicans opposed it.

This goes to show us, the one way we can get both parties on the same side is to find a common opponent, the Supreme Court.
