If I were a Republi-con, I would want the teabaggers to go back to their Libertarian Party and get elected on their own instead of hiding behind our coattails.

From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"If you wonder why and when giant corporations got the power to reign supreme over us, here’s the story."
From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann seeks out interesting subjects from such disparate outposts of curiosity that you have to wonder whether or not he uncovered them or they selected him."
An idea to circumvent Citizens United: Change the rules of both houses of Congress so that the members that get the least money donated from particular industries are the ones that get appointed to the committees that oversee those industries. Such a rule wouldn't make corporate whores less likely to get elected, but it would keep them away from powerful positions of influence over relevant legislation. (The corporate loophole would, of course, be to disguise their donations.)
