The best part: Karl Rove's "American Crossroads" poured millions into NY-26

[scheming daemons]

Citizen's United puts us at a disadvantage monetarily.... but when you have the right message (and more importantly, when your opponent has the WRONG one), you can still do great things.

1. so glad that the money did them no good.

2. Imagine all the millions they will have to pour

into 2012 to even hope to retain the House. 2012 is going to cost them billion and at some point even corporate America won't feel like bailing them out. There is a point of diminishing returns here.

4. Hopefully it'll bankrupt a few of 'em.

Or at least set them back. I LOVE the idea of kkkarl and friends wasting all that money. Think what that might have hurt us elsewhere, and now it's squandered. Granted, they'll be able to come up with more. The koch brothers will be a LONG way from bankruptcy. But hopefully they'll squander a fair amount, too. If it is indeed a case of dramatically and demonstrably diminishing returns, that may put a small stopper in it. These pirates always want to make sure they get their money's worth.

BUT - that said, we have to remain on HIGH ALERT. 'Cause if they're discouraged from bigtime spending on CONservatives, you MUST anticipate that they're looking for other places to put their money to work.

CONSTANT VIGILANCE! Remember what Mad-Eye Moody told Harry Potter and friends!

3. Lucky for us, dollars don't vote. nt

[freshwest]

5. They don't? I thought that was what Citizens United was about. One dollar = one vote!

And citizens reduced to units and corporations elevated to persons!

Well, the GOPiggies didn't win this one, at least!

[Old and In the Way]

6. Well, that's not to say they won't be arguing this case in front of SCOTUS.

Or pass voter restriction laws. They'd better hurry, though...they may be running out of time to scheme a way to permanently keep themselves entrenched in power.

7. I want the Dems to take back NY 19th....Haywood is an embarrassment & a big Ryan supporter...
