and only Repukes.

Seems to be that we "used" to have a name for the joining of State and Business.

Adelson has pledged $100M to Mitt's campaign. The Koch Bros pledged up to $400M to defeat the President. Rove has stated he and his super pac will spend $400M to elect Republicans.

as are most corporations and mega rich sociopath 1%.

They're nothing but a racketeering org anyway. Dirtbags.

which means they are not supposed to be a political organization and we subsidize them because they are tax exempt. Laws are for the little people.

...they are a 501(c)(6) organization, which allows political activity as long as it is not their primary activity.

Nicely done

From the outside, it certainly seems like political activity is their primary activity. Is there anything else they even do?!

Yes,...they spend the rest of the time chasing their secretaries around the desk...

Disguises itself as this benign corporate "union" of sorts but is really just the tip of the plutocracy's spear. Unlike labor unions, they get the full support and blessing of every media mouthpiece, and all the corporate muscle behind it. Pure evil.

of Commerce finance many of the Democrats as well, you might find a lukewarm effort at best for that. However, I think we can get something done with majorities in the House, Senate and of course a Democrat in the White house. I'm afraid it will take grass roots efforts outside of the exalted temples of government to take down what is a very corrupt system and the Chamber of Commerce with it. We need to add separation of business and state to our policies just like we are supposed to have separation of church and state. We need to start insisting on that being practiced again too.

the "liberally-biased media" will likely start off the post-election analysis with a thinly-veiled form of "Is this the death of the Democratic Party more than a rebuke of the Republicans?"

Which set of Republicans are screaming illegal is illegals, as they run through stoplights, speed, cheat their customers and on their taxes.

The Chamber of Commerce is 100% against e-verify.

ALEC is the home of the for profit prisons pushing the state level immigration laws and pushing the myth that Obama is doing nothing.

ALEC members are also members of the Chamber of Commerce.

Why am I confused?
