pollsters really ought to include the Fortune 500 in their polls. In the Presidential elections they could ask (with anonimity protected) how much each corporation is going to spend FOR the Republican candidate and how much they plan to spend AGAINST the Democratic candidate.
.... of course this sort of polling would probably be declared unconstitutional by John Roberts.

(81,304 posts)He is a national embarrassment and epic historic disgrace.
Just keep in mind that:
-- This is the IDIOT who had almost two full months to study up on the wording of the Presidential Oath of Office.
-- This is the IDIOT who, when he learned he was chosen as a nominee for Chief Justice, HAD to have been told that, as Chief Justice, it would thus be his job to swear in the President of the United States on Inauguration Day.
-- This is the IDIOT who certainly must have had even the barest inkling that if Barack Obama won the 2008 election, his inauguration would be frickin' HISTORIC and outstandingly important in American history. ("Ooooh, wanna make sure I look my best that day. The networks are gonna rerun this clip for decades!"
-- This is the IDIOT who, upon realizing that Obama had indeed won the 2008 election, should have also recognized that he would have the singular historic privilege of swearing in the First Black President EVER. Gee, one would think that would be a moment not to fuck it up.
-- This is the IDIOT who ruined that historic, first-ever-in-American-history soundbite of Obama taking the Oath of Office. As a retired news reporter/anchor, THAT one pissed me off to NO END!!! Everybody who ever wants to use that clip, from now on, now-and-forever-more-amen, is gonna have to edit that stupid botched swearing in ceremony, or dump out after the first phrase ("I, Barack Hussein Obama, do solemnly swear" CUT!), for every single retrospective or historical presentation or Obama documentary or biographical review, ever, ever again.
-- This is the IDIOT who could have ensured that, if he was too nervous to remember the wording of the Presidential Oath of Office, could at least have written it down on a 3x5 card. Or do as sarah palin does: write it on his hand forcryingoutloud.
john roberts is an IDIOT. A certified, documented, card-carrying, 10k-gold-plated, national embarrassment of an IDIOT. But then again, it was an IDIOT who appointed him in the first place, so what else could we expect?
That's the filter through which I cannot avoid seeing john roberts, or assessing his actions. He has no brain. He's like that original series "Star Trek" episode called "Spock's Brain," in which female aliens remove his brain and take it back to their home planet to control all their mechanical operations. john roberts is a man without a brain. No wonder we get the cockamamie nonsensical rulings we do out of the roberts court. Because the Chief Justice is nothing but an IDIOT.

He'll go down in history as one of the deadliest opponents of democracy this country has ever seen..... that is if people in this country in the future will be able to find books that aren't pre-approved by the Corporate Government.
