One More Comment On Last Night’s Debate For Massachusetts Third Congressional District

This is a quote from Jim McGovern at the debate when speaking of the fact that corporations can now donate to campaigns (as unions have been doing for years):

“We have a lousy Supreme Court decision that has opened the floodgates, and so we have to deal within the realm of constitutionality. And a lot of the campaign finance bills that we have passed have been declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. I think the Constitution is  wrong. I don’t think that money is the same thing as human beings. I don’t think money equals free speech. I don’t think corporations should have the same equality as a regular voter in this district.”

That says it all for me.  At least corporations have stockholders that hold them accountable for the money they spend.  Who holds the unions accountable?  Every year when he takes office, Jim McGovern swears to defend the U. S. Constitution.  Why is he swearing to defend something he thinks is wrong?  My source for this quote is a website called The Other McCain
