Real Quick


Real quick - 
The past few days I have seen Gov. Scott Walker survive his recall election. This blew my mind. I mean how does this man, who had thousands of people in the street screaming at the top of their lungs, survive this? Money.
Wisconsin was flooded in a torrent of political spending. Unseen, unnamed money  whipped the state into a tornado of propaganda and confusing television ads. This all pushed the state right - it swung this election to become a win for conservative ideas and politics.
This is all, or course, one more effect of the Citizens United Case. I want to learn more about this ruling and look at what it mean, how it says it, and what it has been doing to the country. I just wanted to let you know what coming.
