no problem whatsoever, the foreign companies/entities are doing it now behind the scenes. you think Obama wasn't funded by foreign entities and that they went to great lengths to conceal it? bringing it out in the open is better.

But that's the whole point - being "out in the open" has just been repealed by this ruling.

This has undone campaign finance law in like 43 states, plus part of Federal law regarding corporate accountability.

judicial activism in the name of the first ammendment is most welcome.
i'm sure there are candidates and issues that you support who will also take advantage of this new freedom to get their message out.

This isn't a "right vs left" issue at all. It's a "big government run by corporations versus citizens voters" issue. There are plenty of "conservative" Constitutional scholars that are appalled by this ruling.

The Supreme Court just put the influence strength of corporations above we voters!

i suppose you would not be in favor of government muzzling all corporations, say the New York Times for example. why should they have free rein to actively campaign on behalf of Democratic candidates and ideals, while other corporations are muzzled?

Corporations have not been muzzled - they have had "free rein" to campaign for whomever they want. They can contribute to campaigns financially, they can run ads

However, the accountability - the ability of the public to see what corporations are doing, the limitations upon how corporations can influence candidates - has just been removed.

the court correctly decided that government cannot pick and chose which companies and associations are allowed to have free speech.

I don't know where you read that, but that isn't what just happened at all. What has happened is that the one with the most money, now wins.

are you afraid that corporate ads will influence your decision about who to vote for? if not what is the problem?

No, I'm afraid that who I vote for, and who you vote for, and who we contribute to and support, no longer matters at all.

If one supports unregulated increase in big corporations buying and controling our political system, exclusion of the opinions of clamoring masses of voters having town hall meetings and sending e-mails, your dream just came true. Courtesy of the United States Supreme Court.
