1) Correction: The banks give to their chosen candidates if they are from the Democrat or Republican party. Like I said, you're given the illusion of choice. As long as the D & R stay in power, the banks and corporations who fund D & R stay in power, which makes your circular explanation quite futile. Especially considering most of the banks who received bailouts from our government are also the same ones who funded the election campaigns.
2) It's always a telling sign when your opponent advocates stifling the opposition and encourages the banning of any voices of dissent. I guess you don't enjoy debating as much as I do, or you're just as authoritarian as your savior Obama. So much for your "understanding of democracy" and respecting an individual's rights
On first point, Ron Paul was a Republican. If he had won the Republican primary he would have run for president as a Republican. Those donors would give the same money to any candidate of the legitimate party.
Two the sky is not falling, free speech is not being eroded, Westboro is free to protest what they want, quit with the strawman! FREEDOM OF SPEECH ISN'T UNDER ATTACK.
And spam =/= dissenting opinion. I would love to respond to something a Ron Paul supporter says that isn't a logical fallacy (Santara excluded).
I posted a thoughtful post and you just posted a picture with the candidates and organizations that would give anybody running for president money. Yes, I know banks donate to political campaigns, so do I, so what? Is Obama beholden to me because I'm a DNC donor? Just put Skinned under the list for Obama and Widow under the list for Romney so you can at least get closer to the bigger picture of how politics works in a capitalist economy.
