1. They make getting Big Business out of government sound easy

But it's going to be a lot like curing simultaneous cases of resistant tuberculosis and toenail fungus.

Wall Street owns all three branches of government.

On edit: And I believe Corporate American thinks it's cute when we among the masses get all stirred up.

2. This isn't going to do the trick.
If the shoe was on the other foot a GOP Congress/Senate would impeach half the Supreme Court without batting an eyelash. Democrats are still bringing a knife to a gunfight as usual and they are going to be steamrolled right over. At this rate Capitol Hill will go GOP in this election cycle and Palin will be selected president in 2012. Facts don't matter. Truth doesn't matter. MONEY matters and the corporations are going to buy the next two election cycles and buy propaganda ads by the truckload to force their lies down our throats like a toilet plunger strapped to a jack hammer on steroids. John F. Kennedy wrote a book called "While England Slept." That title could be reworded to read: "While the Democratic Party slept." Smile buttons won't beat the GOP and Supreme Court. The Supreme Court has been hijacking democracy since 2000 and Democrats are still not doing anything about it because the party hasn't got the BALLS. We are just whistling in the graveyard like nothing happened because we just passed a healthcare bill the public is not overjoyed about. Obama also lowered taxes, but who cares when the corporations can buy the ads and the media to tell us it didn't happen. This is the end of Democracy as we know it. In any other universe the Democrats would impeach the Supreme Court RIGHT NOW but they won't do it because they are all busy hiding in the closet and smiling for the cameras and fussing over petty things.
