quote: ORIGINAL: Musicmystery Newt Gingrich is saying that the Supreme Court decision striking down corporate campaign donation limits is a victory for the middle class. His rationale is that this allows non-millionaires to run for office. Interesting that he doesn't see it as a victory for the poorer classes. He calls it a triumph for first amendment rights. What about you? Are your rights freer now? Will your freedom of speech soar as never before? I can't wait to see that line of middle class candidates this November. Uh-huh. Newt, for all of his intelligence, can be a total jackass sometimes. This is one of those times.

It could signal the death of the republic. It could signal the birth of a Plato-like Republic.

Hey! Maybe someone will step forward, sweep new seats in Congress, write up a "Contract with America" and change the nation! Wait....why does that sound so familiar, and leave such a bitter taste.....?

It's interesting that half feel stifled, half don't. Of course, I guess if one half stifles the other half... [;)]
